You Are What You Focus On: The Strength of An Unstoppable Mindset
The FinerMinds teams shares this:
“It’s not what happens to you, it’s what you do about it.” – W Mitchell
Not many people have been as unfortunate as W Mitchell – or so it would seem.
He’s been involved in two separate serious accidents – one of which left him with burns covering most of his body, and the other that left him wheelchair-bound for life.
As a result of such disabilities, many would give up. But because of his firm belief that success is not dictated by what life deals to you, but by what you do with the challenges you’re dealt, W Mitchell re-trained himself to fly a plane, become a famous international speaker and an environmental lobbyist.
In this 4-minute video, he reinforces the fact that we become what we focus on, and how once he started focusing on how powerful and innovative he was, he not only changed his life – but the life of those around him.

Onlyness
Friend, mentor and client Nilofer Merchant expounds on the topic of ‘onlyness’:
The first step to unlocking talent in the #SocialEra is celebrating something I’ve termed onlyness.
Onlyness is that thing that only that one individual can bring to a situation. It includes the journey and passions of each human. Onlyness is fundamentally about honoring each person: first as we view ourselves and second as we are valued. Each of us is standing in a spot that no one else occupies. That unique point of view is born of our accumulated experience, perspective, and vision. Some of those experiences are not as “perfect” as we might want, but even those experiences are a source for what you create. For example, the person whose younger sibling has a disease might grow up to work in medicine to find the cure. The person who is obsessed with beautiful details might end up caring about industrial design and reinvent how we all use technology. The person who has grown up under oppression might end up advocating for freedom of speech and thus advance the condition of his country. This individual onlyness is the fuel of vast creativity, innovations, and adaptability.

Surround Yourself With Optimistic People!!
“Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don’t hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people.”

I’m proud to have been chosen again to speak at the second “How to be a social media rockstar” event hosted by the Green Bay Chamber of Commerce. I’ll be speaking on the topic of ‘the signs point to social media’.
Since the beginning of business, people have used signs as a means of communication commercial value. They are still an effective tool, especially when combined with social media. I will be talking about effective B2B and B2C communication through the use of commercial signs linked to social media tools, including QR codes as a means of linking traditional and new media…

…through our partnership with AGCO around ‘socializing’ — using social media to cover — trade shows. Here are some interesting thoughts from Kipp Bodnar on the topic…
“Almost every B2B company invests part of its marketing budget in trade shows. It is one tried and true method of lead generation. The problem with trade shows is that they aren’t cheap, and they are a big line item on the marketing budget. So if your company is making the investment, then it should do everything it can to squeeze out every last drop of value. This need for value, combined with cut travel budgets across all industries, means that the solution to this problem is social media.” Source: 5 Ways To Make Your B2B Trade Show Social | Social Media B2B

Here’s a great presentation on ‘Socialgraphics’ I found online while researching for a speaking engagement tomorrow…
There’s a recording to accompany the preso here.
“What the *tweet* is social media…
…and what can it do for my business today!?” was the name of the presentation I delivered at the Kewaunee County Power Breakfast on September 29 while filling in for MarketingSavant Dana VanDen Heuvel. Bottom line? Those companies that actively engage their customer base through social media stand to reap a rich harvest in terms of lasting loyalty and increased profits. Dana’s presentation [with a couple of slides I added from an Envano presentation] is included below…

Online Meetings…
With the price of gas as it is, and time always being at a premium, the idea of online meetings is gaining in popularity…
“I’m a big fan of online meeting and collaboration tools. Among other things, they’ve saved me from some of the many flights and hotels that I used to have to put up with. I found this comparison of online meeting tools interesting.” Source: WebWorkerDaily » Archive Online Meeting App Study: GoToMeeting Tops Yugma? «
Personally, I find online meetings both effective and inexpensive. I use and recommend GoToMeeting — I’ll be happy to demo it for you if you contact me…
