Great Stories in the News
When This All Gets Cool by Chris Brogan
From ChrisBrogan.comChris Brogan of ChrisBrogan.com wrote an article back in February entitled "When This All Gets Cool." He was talking about cool ways to use all the different social media and networking tools that are out there.
It's really relevant to anyone who is participating in social media and networking, but I thought it was especially helpful to people who are just getting started with it or maybe aren't sure how to jump into it all.
The article probably half a dozen ideas for getting involved in social media and networking. No matter if it's new to you or if you've been using it a while, it's a great way to really take advantage of these tools.

Quote of the Week
Quit talking and begin doing.
I think it's by Walt Disney. The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
A lot of times we get frozen. Maybe we're afraid to make a mistake. Maybe we're afraid to take a risk. Other times we're just not sure what to do or we've gotten bogged down in feeling overwhelmed or like there's just too much work to do and not enough time to get it all done.
So instead of moving through the problem somehow, no matter what comes of it or what the end result, we stagnate. We stop moving forward and slow to a crawl at best. We become increasingly frustrated and disappointed, but we're just not sure how to get ourselves back out of it.
It won't necessarily be easy, and the answers may not just come to you, but as soon as your attitude changes, as soon as you stop talking about it and just get to work, you begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You start making headway. So, as Walt Disney said, quit talking. Begin doing.
Good luck with your business, and I'll see you back here next week.
