I few months back I received an invitation to Twitter.  To tell you the truth, I did NOT get it.

If you are not familiar with Twitter yet, it is what is a Microbloging system.

With it you can blog simple acts and thoughts as they happen throughout the day.

I honestly could not imagine why anyone what want to know what I was doing at that level, and I just did not see why I would care to knwo what they were doing.

Well, I have had an opportunity to rethink that opinion.

I had an opportunity to meet with a true internet marketing guru, Drew Kossoff (www.rainmakeradventures.com), a few weeks back, and we chatted a bit about it.

He planted a few thought seeds so I started watching this more closely.

I found myself gaining interesting and meaningful insight into the lives of the people I was following.

I suddenly realized that I had a new competative marketing weapon to use.

One colleague I ran into was amazed when I asked him very specific questions in regards to a trip he had just taken with his family.

An business associate of mine asked me how I knew who was where and what they were up to? I explained my use of Twitter and how I was using it to track friends and see what everyone was up to. 

Now he is addicted to Twitter and uses it to cultivate relationships with clients and get the inside edge on his sales competitors.

This is interesting but it is nothing when you consider the internet marketing and social networking implications of it.

I can think of dozens of creative ways to use it.

Can you?

Please comment with your ideas.

I was searching for some background information for a new article series I am writing and came across something I believe you will find valuable and useful.

The article is called “The Two Types of Entrepreneurs” as was written by home office success guru Jeff Landers.

Here are two of the highlights from the article I think are particularly insightful:

“Don’t fool yourself. Having a den with a computer doesn’t mean you’re ready to run your own business….A real entrepreneur isn’t satisfied with their success today. They want to create a business that will continue to succeed tomorrow. They look beyond the present. They are always striving to be more.”

I could not help but notice the article did NOT say “do more” or “have more”.

Rather it says “be more”.  Those that have been reading my blog for a while will find that familiar.

What else?

“Your business has to match you. The first thing you have to decide is whether you want to stay small or build an empire. No need to write a whole business plan that only you and your mother will read. Just picture yourself having the perfect business-what does it look like? How are you living your life?”

When the structure of your business matches who you want to be, success will flow effortlessly.  

A simple illustration might be, since attending my daughter Madeline’s ballet practice each Friday afternoon is something I am purposefully committed to, I structure my other activities, include my work time, to allow me to fulfill my commitment. 

By doing that, I am structuring my business to serve who I want to be; “an amazing father”.  The net effect is my business success becomes an effortless contributor to accomplishment of purpose as opposed to a detractor from it.

Consider whatever it is you are doing now:

      When does it feel like it is effortless and stress free? 

      When does it feel otherwise? 

Then consider what that might mean.By all means enjoy the rest of the article:       http://www.toolmantips.com/home/the-two-types-of-home-based-entrepreneur/

I am very interested to hear your thoughts about my observations from this article. 

Please comment on my blog.

I am standing for all that is possible for you.  Please let me know how I can be of service.

Gratefully,

The entire series is loaded with terrific keys and tips.

Here is the first in the 7 part series:
