Adapt a Simple Mindset about Twitter
One of my goals for my personal business development is to increase
my use and get savvier with social networking, especially Twitter.
I’ve admittedly been a “lurker” on the twitter scene especially,
because the feeling I got is that these “tweets” are a bunch of
hyped up vendors trying to sell me something.
But after taking several classes to really learn more about
social networking, and by seeing how the people I admire
“tweet”, I’m convinced that it has incredible power, when
used in the manner that makes it most effective – and that is
“being a resource and giving to others.”
It took a bit of practice to shift my mindset, but
once I started to think about how I could be helpful to someone,
or connect people with each other, it felt really good to be able to
solve a problem or provide resources that helped them out.
I’ve practiced this “giving, connecting and helping” philosophy from the in-person network groups I’ve belonged to. The more I tried to connect people, be helpful and give them business leads, the more satisfied I was with the networking experience. And I saw the
success others received by also being a resource. The ones who only had their own self interest in mind most often annoyed others.
Remember, in order to build your business, you must practice
the “KNOW, LIKE and TRUST” factor. Online social networking
is an effective strategy to do just that.
A quote from Mitch Albom says “The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” We can all do that!

Taking Risks to Build Confidence – Does it Work?
I got to thinking the other day about people who lose themselves, lose their sense of self, rarely take chances, stay stuck in a rut, play it safe. If it’s ever happened to you, you know what I’m talking about.
I think this happens to both men and women as we travel into adulthood and take on more responsibilities. Responsibilities that take us away from ourselves like making a living, raising children, getting the kids off to school, taking care of bills and appointments. Somewhere we stop being “me” and end up being an extension of all sorts of people and responsibilities. We discover that we’ve lost sight of our dreams, and in the process, lost confidence in ourselves. It’s no longer clear to us that we CAN be that high school cheerleader or football player, and we begin to doubt ourselves.
On a recent Oprah show, she sought out women who had lost their sense of self, and had them participate in 3 activities they knew nothing about ahead of time. For the first activity, they put on roller skates, became a bad-ass team, and played against a professional roller derby team, getting knocked down, bruised and walloped in the process. But the women were exhilarated afterwards because they did it! They had a huge sense of accomplishment.
Next, they were taken up in an airplane to sky –dive, fear of heights and all. They were shaking, scared, crying, and lightheaded but they jumped and landed safely on the ground, once again thrilled they had faced their fears.
For the last lesson, they shed all their clothes, and ran into the cold ocean, sharing the thrill of letting down pretenses, self judgment and being naked in front of others, accepting themselves in the process.
All these women claimed they were greatly impacted by these activities, changed profoundly by these experiences, and claimed they had regained their confidence!
What will it take for you to reclaim your confidence? Each year, I make myself go waterskiing when at my parent’s cabin; for I know that once I say “no” to that activity I’ve always loved since I was young, it will be the beginning of saying “no” to things I and they become things I am afraid of.
When I turned 50, I got my motorcycle license, challenging myself to do something I’d dreamt of but had feared. I went to class that included all young men (and me) tipped my motorcycle over in front of them, dusted myself off and got right back on it. I DID learn how to ride a motorcycle. I felt accomplished and proud, and yes, it I DID boost my confidence.
The fear of falling does conflict with the thrill of soaring, but the accomplishment is so worth the effort.
What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
