What is your opinion on the following quote?
“I never take advice from someone more messed up than I am.” – Tom Hopkins
The quote put a smile on my face while scanning Twitter so I thought I would share it by re-tweeting. The quote found its way to Facebook only to find many opinions regarding this! When you scan these comments, you will quickly realize the use of social media definitely attracts attention and with it more prospects, clients and sales.
– That is a good plan. But I find my level of messed up-ness and that of others varies by day and topic.
– Only take what you believe will work well for you and leave the rest behind! (me)
– Yes! Your rephrase has caught the essence.
– Who was it that said he would never join a club who allowed him in?
– Lol!!!
– It looks like our humorous Friday was a great start to the weekend! Maybe we should start #HF on Twitter! (Me)
– LOve It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
– Come on, it is always good to listen to what people have to say, it identifies an opportunity to educate not only the person in front of you, but you as well.
– Oh those who teach usually learn much more than the students…
– Interestingly, this quote received the most discussion of any other I put out on the internet! (Me)
– Only problem is: you don’t always know ahead of time if they’re messed up! 😉
– What I have learned from Jeannie Whyte is your intuition is always correct! (Me)
– I understand. But my experience is that there are times when we are not so tuned into our untuition – and there are other times when, to put it simply, we can just be “snowed”. But yes, generally our intuition is where we need to put our focus – agreed.
– Great discussion – I’m going to write a blog! … it’s true one can be snowed. However, when I dare say most of the time this is when we are close to 50-50 about something and take a chance. I’ve learned to only act, in particular when it involves money, when the percentages are in a much higher favor on my side. Accordingly, when it’s 50-50 or even 60-40, I wait 24 hours to analyze from all directions and many times after “sleeping on it” know precisely which action to take. (Me)
– Within the last year I took a chance on an acting teacher and spent $270 to spend two days with someone I’d never met. I went on intuition. And it was fabulous! He was fabulous! But then six months later he returned and he had changed, and the workshop was NOT fabulous. Emphatically not. So from that perspective you could say I was fooled…
This is business development in the easiest form I’ve found to date and when you moderate with judgment, it puts you in the leadership position. By working it in this manner, you also provide a wonderful marketing-communication message that you care about listening and clarifying, and helping others. I would think job-seekers could use a very similar format for their job hunting process to produce similar interest. The main ingredient is to give helpful tips and/or food for thought.
Coupling social media with building relationships you will be on the sea of a Smooth Sale!
