Saturday Morning Article ~ Keep Your Eyes On The Prize (Yes, Social Media Can Work For You)
By
The goal for your business is the prize. Whether you already have a brick and mortar business or are building a business online social marketing is just another marketing tool but you need to learn to use it to your best benefit.
When you initially become immersed in social media marketing it can be a bit overwhelming. Are you wondering where to start? What will be the best for me in my business? What is the difference between LinkedIn and Twitter? Do I really need both?
With social media marketing it’s the same! You must stay focused on what you want. Why are you using social marketing? What is your goal? Don’t get caught in all the action that does not produce results. If you don’t learn the lesson the first time the lesson will keep getting harder and harder; until it feels like you’re being hit up side the head with a two by four.
Three behaviors you can adopt right now…
1) Get a timer, does not matter what kind so long as you know how to operate it. When you go to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any of the other programs set the timer and stick to it.

Hi Carla
Yes…social media marketing is a great way to go…but the danger is it can distract you from the prize! Whatever you deem that to be.
Focus is the key. Lazer focussed people get what they want.
Great post
Thank you

LOL you are so right Pete! I lost sight of my prize and then changed the prize!
Carla,
Great post you have here. I love the ladder analogy. I learned this in the Army when I was confronted with a scary challenge on the obstacle course.
You touched upon one of the main reasons why people (me included) fail to get anything done; we’re so busy doing too many things. If only we’d follow your advice and “stay focused on what we want.”
I sometimes get distracted and find myself on an unexpected journey so I’m going to follow your advice over the next few weeks and see what happens. I’m going to pay extra attention to “saying thanks and letting go.”
P.S. I like how you’ve integrated your blog with your ezine articles account. You’ve given me a great idea on how I can adapt it to my blog.
