We’re not all destined to jump out into the world and invent the next IPad. It just may not in the cards for everyone. Just because you’re not going to go full on Elon Musk on us doesn’t mean that you can’t get your head into the entrepreneurial mindset and use some of those same thoughts to propel you farther in whatever career it is that you want to thrive at. And who knows, maybe you are the next great visionary. Maybe you’ll be the entrepreneur of the millennia –but first, you’ve got to start thinking like one.

As the days start getting shorter we start feeling like we are getting less and less done during the day. There are never enough hours in a day to get everything accomplished that needs to get done. This doesn’t mean that we can’t use the time that we have to stay productive. We just need to shake things up a bit. So go on –grab yourself a cup of joe, splash some water on your face, and have yourself a stretch. It’s time to settle in and get some things done. What’s that you say? Running in circles with no direction as the hours pass by? Chill. You panicking about the 17 things you need to do but don’t have time for is definitely not helping.

Listen, we've all been there.  Running around like a crazy person putting out fire after fire, hopping from one project to the next, and spreading ourselves way too thin to feel like we're actually accomplishing any task successfully from start to finish.  If every day is turning into a crisis in the workplace, you've got to take a step back and re-evaluate.  It's time to take a look around and see what you can tweak, adjust, cut out, start doing differently, etc. to turn your hours of work chaos into meaningful time spent that doesn't leave you wiped.

On the 12th anniversary 9/11, I am reminded of the importance of compassion, respect, and validation not just from the every day Joe putting information out into the world, but also from the businesses, brands, etc. who are involved socially on the internet. Because there are times, both in life and in business, when we as people have to take a step back and assess the situation in front of us. We have to be cautious of our approach to sensitive situations and we have to remember that, although we are speaking through a brand, we are still speaking to other human beings during a very sensitive time.

Customers. You've worked hard to build your business and you should have found out by now that there is a necessary component to your success. Customers. The common denominator between a giant rise to profit and the greatest plummet to failure. Customers. Here's my point folks, sometimes we build and build and build -finally get to that "hey, we're successful" part -and then seem to forget exactly who it was that put us in that position in the first place.

We all know by now that being social these days seems to be translated into the average number of comments you give or receive on social media on a daily basis.  Whether we like it or not, this is the new norm.  Connecting via tweet, blog post, comment, tag, etc. is the new phone call or drop by that we used to give to check in on our friends and clients.  Social shifts aside, this digital world is an opportunity for business owners. Online marketing, specifically on social media, is a free admission fish tank full of free bait to dangle in front of fresh fish -I mean customers...  The problem is this: there are only so many hours in a day.  There, I've said it. The secret is out.  You may not have the time to successfully market your business on social media while simultaneously running that same business.  Luckily, there are other options.
