Twitter Tip - identifying spam

It may be flattering to get your tweet re-tweeted, but show caution in following that person. This example shows that the twitter user has zero followers and is following zero people.

Focus on what you can give to people in your world, without expectation of what they can do for you

Look yourself in the mirror. What do you see? Or more accurately, who do you see? This is not a trick question. Of course the answer is you. But do you really know what that means. To me, it means: You are unique, and no one in the world has your unique viewpoint. I am not making this stuff up. Actually, recently someone told me this recently, and I am taking it at face value. Pun intended.

So, be yourself. Be an open book.

How can this be accomplished? And how does this translate into actions?

Here's my personal tenet: Show others your inner self. Be transparent and authentic. Don't care what others think of you; rather, care what you think of them.

Make the choice each day, to be yourself.

Keep it simple.

Focus on what you can give to people in your world, without expectation of what they can do you for you.

Comments?

What's your tenet?

• "Pathways to Success" began as a means of taking ownership of personal relationships.
• 801 pennies = the # of generations since the beginning of mankind. We used storytelling. We are hardwired to this.
  
• The US now uses less than half of its population to make food, so what do we do with ourselves.
• "Hero to Zero" needs to be turned into "Hero to Superhero" (i.e. You, Inc.)
• Turn transactions into relationships
• Sit down and identify who you are, what you're passionate about, and what your own personal brand is
• Mankind has gone through three stages, food production, manufacturing, and now it's about ideas
• Ferrari story. A guy fell in love with a Ferrari. Got to know all about it. Made a magazine that made him 1 Million dollars/year
• Need to take control of who you want to be
• Be prepared, agile, and ready to move
• More people die on Monday mornings than any other day
• We have 8070 hours/year
• Overnight success takes 10,000 hours of work
• Fundamentally what we love does not change.
• We generally don't work to satisfy what we love to do
• Having to satisify the need inside of me, equals JUSTICE
• "Never Eat Alone" is about how to create networks for yourself
• "Who's Got Your Back" is how to create personal success by creating a board of directors of You, Inc., and creating a lifelong learning team
• To pick your board of directors, pick those who you respect, diversity
• Meet with your board of directors regularly, monthly or quarterly. Each meeting should be about one individual. Each meeting should last about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  
• 200,000 networks of 4
• Win, Win, Win (you, me, and both of us)
• Keep me on the road to success
• People talk about keeping a "balance" in your life. Balance is Stasis (e.g. death), so don't strive for balance
• We each have a unique view of the world. So, become that singular leader of that view. "An inch wide and a mile deep"
• Make your learning team family
• Everyone in your network should hear from you once a quarter. For example, set up Google Alerts on topics of interest to people in your network. Then, use a tidbit that you hear about, to give to your contact (in your network).
  
• Goals. Start with the end in mind
• Make the goal crystal clear
• Think of business relationships as personal relationships, as we are all humans. Mirror in business as we act in our personal relationships
• Have the courage to be who we are. Authenticity
• When you make introductions, you can ask yourself "Do you want to be in my tribe?"
• Give them a story that will make them remember you
• Generosity Pyramid - Generosity is the currency of relationships. Intimacy. Candor. Two-way accountability
• The highest currencies are: Health, Wealth, and Family
• Intimacy. For example, NBC sports knows that the personal stories are the currency
• Working for affected trust rather than effected trust
• Lego Approach - personal sales force. develop your personal brand
• Know what you want and dare to ask for it
• People are opportunities
• Jeff claims that we all know this stuff, we just didn't know how to put it all together. The "how" is with a framework
• In relationships, make them successful, use the currency, be relationship scientists (e.g. should people you meet be in your tribe?)
• Not the leader, but the 1st follower is critical. So make that follower successful, then others will see that. Bring the follower close to you.
• Oprah and the Black Eyed Peas and the flash mob. Paid 40 professional dancers who each taught 4 people, who taught 4 people, etc. 28,000 people

Influencing your web presence - Google Social Search

"your social circle", is based on Google Social Search, which relies on the content of your Google Profile (e.g. erich13)

Watch a video overview of Social Search

"Your social circle is essentially a group of connections including these contacts:

• People in your Gmail (or Google Talk) chat list
• People in your Friends, Family, and Coworkers groups in your Google contacts
• People you're publicly connected to through social sites, such as Twitter and FriendFeed, that appear on your Google profile or in your public Google Buzz stream.
• People you’re following in Google Reader and Google Buzz
• People who are connections of those in your immediate, public social circle. This means that if you have a friend on Twitter, and he follows five people, those additional five people may also be included in your social circle."
