Do you ever communicate too much? Have you ever realized that you just showed your face card because you “communicated” too much? Does this happen very often when using Social Media avenues for communication? One can only assume…
According to Wikipedia, “Social Media is a portal for social interaction using highly accessible and scalable communication techniques. Social media is the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue.”
With the over-abundance of mobile devices, Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites, our communication levels are off the chart. Gone are the days of privacy. With GPS enabled phones, we can even track where one of our friends is headed.
Now more than ever, it is imperative that we watch what we do and say, especially on Social Media sites. Once you click that “enter” button on your computer…it is permanent. You cannot re-tract the comment. Oh yes, you maybe able to delete it from Twitter or Facebook, but there are so many other social sites in the blogosphere connected to sites like Twitter and Facebook that may have grabbed that “Tweep” or status update…alas it is till out there, creating a potential problem.
The bottom line is…don’t get “too” interactive. Be careful what you announce to the world. Make your online experience an empowering one. Don’t allow your keyboard to get ahead of your brain. Use Social Media as an adjunctive way to appropriately interact with your friends and professional associates.
Yours In Success
Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people.
I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ.
I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives.
As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life.
I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
