How To Be An Entrepreneur

Being an entrepreneur is not easy.  We think differently, act differently and quite honestly live different lives.  There are several characteristics of entrepreneurs that I am going to discuss today. The three most important characteristics are honesty, integrity and accountability.

Honesty is a trait that not everyone holds near and dear.  In business and in life, if you ever get busted not being honest, your going to have a real difficult time developing relationships with people.  Entrepreneurs know that it’s a trait that they must keep for the rest of their lives to have long term success.

Integrity is one of those things people these days have forgotten about.  I catch people totally out of integrity all the time. Just the other day, I was talking with a prospect on the phone and she wanted to talk more but had another appointment so before I let her off the phone I set another appointment with her for 2 days later.

I know, it’s been a while since my last post here on my blog and I really have no excuse other then I decided that I was not going to just write to write.  I decided only to write when I had something that was just burning to come off my fingertips.

Be Different In A World Of Sames.

Take a look around you. I mean take a real good look at people.  For the most part, people want to be like each other, don’t they?

From the cars we drive to the house we live in all the way down to the clothes that we put on every day, we conform to what our circle of influence (the people we’ve surrounded ourselves with) wears, drives and lives in.

Where is the individualism if we are just going around trying to keep up with our neighbors?

I am not saying these things are bad, I am just proving a point.

OK. I am guilty as charged.

Ok, so I have to admit that I have been a little slack about keeping my blog up to date with useful, valuable content. I apologize for that and hope you will forgive me ; ).

I have been busy helping and bringing on new team members so it’s been a little crazy.

I have also decided that I am only going write when I really feel inspired to.  There is way too much fluff and junk out on the web of people that feel they need to write an article, do a blog post or Press Release just to drive traffic to their offer or whatever.

It feels way to artificial for me and I want no part of it.

I want to write or share things with you when I feel alive and passionate about something, period.

Why Video Marketing is a Hot Topic Right now

Video marketing is a hot topic these days as its audience outweighs all 4 major news networks current audience.  That’s right.  There are more people that watch youtube videos than all of the 4 news networks put together.  Powerful stuff right?  Well it’s only powerful if you know how to use videos to market your product or service.

There are many video sharing sites out there but the grandpa of them all is YOUTUBE .

Youtube is not for your 14 year olds to put up silly movies they make with their friends.  It is a powerhouse of information.  Being that Youtube is owned by google, you have the very same search capabilities but on a video level.  You can find a video of just about anything these days.
