Ok, I had to put up a quick post, because my company, Travelers Defense got the most amazing testimonial today and I had to share it with you.
The lesson for today is that testimonials will sell your product for you so you don’t have to. Also remember that written is good, recorded voice is better and of course video is by far the most powerful testimonial that anyone can give you.
So go out and gather your testimonials for whatever line of work you are in and let everyone else speak for you. Trust me, it will be a lot louder when someone else does it.
Maybe you have heard about it, maybe you have not, but if you use twitter or facebook for any sort of business purpose, you now have a new ally that will help you drive more traffic. It is a url shortner that is put out by Stumbleupon and includes a lot of cool extras.
stumbleupon
You can now submit urls to both twitter and facebook directly using su.pr. The software then allows you to track how many clicks you receive from it and by what medium the clicks were received. You can also stumble (bookmark) the url to recieve even more traffic. In addition it makes it easy for other people to stumble your discovery so they can drive traffic for you as well.
Finally it has some really cool statistical data as well that lets you know what time of day you get the most response even! That is pretty baller. so just by switching over and using this new tool, you will be able to maximize your twitter and facebook updates to increase clickthroughs, branding and profits!
Man, I have had a few just hectic days of late. Have you ever been there? You get so bogged down and derailed with work and family and just life in general that you forget what you are working towards? What you are working for, what it truly is you do what you do for?
I was there today and have been there in the past and one thing I have started doing in the past few years is reaching out to those who A. are smarter than me, and B. have been there before.
I find the teachings of these people to not only inspire and motivate me, but also to remind me of what my goal, my purpose, my “why” is.
Today I want you to recenter and find your “why” and determine if what you are doing is getting you closer to that “why” or farther away from it?
Decision is the ultimate power and as you will see in the video below by one of my all time favorites, Tony Robbins, each decision we make directly affects our future and possibly the futures of other and even the world. If this video does not get you excited to change your life for the better, you are not alive to begin with. Enjoy…
I love Gary because he always speaks with such passion. He lives with passion, works with passion and he speaks with passion. That is one thing I have always wanted; that when I die people can look back and say “He had passion.”
Whether that passion was for a girl, for business, for life, whatever. It is that passion that separates us from the lesser animals and even those among us who make their way through life with no “passion”. Please make the choice right now to not be one of those people.
What is your passion and what are you doing about it?
