I started with a facebook page, attempted to read a how to of facebook marketing book, fell into a Twitter one instead, and the rest is history. When I first realized I had to get in on this, what I like to call "frenzy that is social media", I didn't know where to begin. In fact, I felt so overwhelmed, it almost angered me. Spending more money on education for something I didn't really know anything about did not appeal to me. I almost turned the other cheek.
Then one day, I had an idea. Having recently reconnected with an old business partner, I got really excited about life. I reunited with yet another old friend that same week and the mastermind had been created. At the same time, I had started listening to an audio book that I was just thrilled with. I felt back on track and ready to conquer the world!
This new found excitement moved me so much, I was determined not to fall off this time. I got to pondering how I could prevent that from happening when I realized it only took one thing...accountability. And that was the realization that started the movement.
I had had accountability partners before, but none of them seemed to do the trick. They didn't really hold me accountable. I needed to go bigger. Much bigger. That's when I decided to blast myself to everyone I knew what I was doing and why I was doing it. "The world is my stage", I told myself. If I succeed or if I fail, everyone will see it happen. Surely this would light a fire under me!
I called one of my partners, Lisa Trunkenbolz http://bit.ly/8tZLH , to tell her about my idea immediately. Low and behold, she had had the same thought process! We began brainstorming instantaneously and decided we would invite others to join in. I knew there had to be more of us that have had the same problem sticking to regimens they put forth for themselves, so I planned a movement where we could ALL"learn, grow, and succeed together".
"The Best Way to Predict the Future is to Create It" is my first attempt at establishing this movement through Social Media. It took a while for me to get the courage to create the page , but it is as they say it is. Once you take that first step, momentum kicks in, and you can hardly stop it if you wanted to. Now, I plan to do many books and programs, charity events, live shows, and more! Anything and everything I can think of that will help my fellow entrepreneurs make the most of themselves and make their way to the top! Join in! I'd love to hear from you!
