Shameless Plug for Kate Fly and The OK Sisters Band

OK... I know this is a shameless plug for my significant other, but I can't resist. Please check out this video of Kate Fly and The OK Sisters Band performing one of their original songs in Omaha at the "Playing with Fire" concert series.
If you are as impressed with their talent as I am, you will want to know how to book this wonderful band. For booking information call Full Tilt Management at 308-236-8844. Here they are playing "Gotta Know".

I.O.U.S.A. trailer....Are We In Trouble? Does Anyone Care?

Are we quietly spending our way into a hole?

A hole so deep we can not see the way out?

Does any body care that we may loose control of our own destiny?

We all have a responsibility as United States citizens to educate ourselves on this issue. This is a non-partisan issue that needs to be addressed. It's time we take control of our spending. I for one will be in line to see the movie that helps shed some light on this issue. Here is the trailer for I.O.U.S.A. <> Make up your own mind!

Take A Break And Watch The Olympics.

Watching the Olympics is one of the best reasons to put your busy lives on "coast" for a moment. Not on "hold", just on coast. Watching the athletes carry out a life long dream can be very inspiring. As an entrepreneur my commitment to my own dream has become rekindled. So even though you may think you are too busy to take time out for this rare opportunity, you should do it. There is something to be said for the time and commitment the athletes put into their dreams. We in the business world should take heed. So relax, put your feet up, turn on the TV and do some personal development. You will thank me for it later.

Social Networking Should Be Social

I have been spending quite a lot of time on Facebook in the past months. Making friends and trying to get to know them. I also created a group to help new people with tips on social networking. In the process of inviting new friends and group members I am dealing with more than a few of the members. What is strange to me is the amount of members who do not put up a profile picture. I find it very odd that people put all the time and effort into a social site and do not put up a profile picture. Why this is I do not know. There my be many reasons that they don't, but the fact is they don't. Some put up clever little photos of their pets or some models pic. Some use their company logo or a logo that they came up with for their own business. Most just use the big question mark that means you do not have a picture of your own to use. Not sure why they don't want me to know what they look like, but I don't find it very sociable.

Be Passive With Your Social Marketing.

Social media sites have become very popular as of late. Many people who frequent these sites are only there for one reason. That reason is to sell-sell-sell to any one who will even pause long enough to read their profile. This high pressure sales technique may have worked in the past, but in today’s world one must use what I call “passive” marketing.

What I like to do is just make friends with a person first. See if you have anything or anyone in common. Be kind and courteous and helpful if asked, but do not be a salesman!

I never try to “sell” anyone on anything. There are only two situations that occur that would allow me to talk about my own business, or affiliate programs. If during the process of conversing with friends they ask you what you do for a living, or if they ask for help with something that you feel you can help them with. Then and only then do I put on my business hat.

This reminds me of one of my classified ads that I run. The title of this ad is “Always drink upstream from the herd.” The title has little to do with marketing and more to do with positioning. You see positioning is the way to market today. Be in the position to help when asked. You want to be all set up and waiting with what the client wants, when they decide they want it. Position yourself to take the best advantage of the situation that arises. Be passive; think ahead, in other words, “always drink upstream from the herd”. This is the best position to be in to get the good clean water, and very satisfied clients.
