Don't get me wrong. I love you Amber Mac but chapter 3 of Power Friending sucked. I know that's a strong, combative word but it was the first one I thought of as I skimmed through, nay mostly skipped through that chapter. The problem is that anecdotes of social media successes have become cliche.
Last night's workshop for the Downtown Crawfordville Plan stirred something in me.
I was told that to be successful in business, one must always listen first. Given. Understood. I get it.
But last night I changed. After listening to endless pontificating and spirited debate I decided to put my two cents in with a verve I didn't know I had or at least I forgot I had. It was time to lead with my voice. Not by shouting over someone or by opining till I was blue in the face. I simply said what I thought and listened for the reaction.
My wife and several friends have always attested that I do have the ability to speak eloquently when I'm really passionate about something. One friend even said I was a genius that needed to be heard. I don't know about that but that kind of flattery does give me the confidence to move forward.
A step forward by stepping back.
The business blog.
This is the place to start again. A platform to be heard and to listen. A place where I can solicit feedback about things that may be very right or very wrong. An incubator for great ideas. All work bolstered by a new confidence that lifts the veil between business and opinion.
A new commitment.
