Be An Example

The best way to teach is by example. This applies to everything including Social Media.

People tend to become like the people they associate with and that explains why so many people are negative. But you don’t have to be.

Just as in real life, when you’re a downer, people don’t want to hang out with you. The same applies to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Post positive, uplifting things. This doesn’t mean that you’re some Pollyanna who denies that there’s a lot of crap out there. It means that you choose what to focus on.

Be an example of someone who understands that people have enough crap in their lives and you’re not here to add to it.

Be a ray of sunshine in people’s day. Regardless of the business you’re in.

Because whatever business it appears that you’re in, we’re really all in the same business. The people business. Except only a small number of people know this. Be one of them.
