You've got to be very cognizant of the correlation between social media links and business because they don't always correlate as highly as people would like.
You need a place where you can explain yourself. You can write as much or as little as you would like, but the words will be all yours. You can create the context. You can make sure that all issues are addressed. You can take issue with individuals or the media as a whole. Your words, your message.
Executives should blog if they have a vision they are trying to communicate, or if they are very visible in the media.
We all know or have read about someone who has been burned on social media. We have taught our kids not to post pictures publicly that could impact their future, but we have not yet taught ourselves that texts, messages and social media posts could be used just as maliciously or with as much downside as pictures.
Social media is just a platform. Twitter is a very simple and immediate broadcast platform. Facebook is a very personal, when it comes to friends and when it comes to fan pages, a little bit less but still somewhat personal way to communicate.
We appreciate the effort Doug gave us. He went through a lot to get back. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
Linking without permission is stealing. Period, end of story.
Can't say no one makes money from Twitter now. The NBA does.
In every job, I would justify it in my mind, whether I loved it or hated it, that I was getting paid to learn and every experience would be of value when I figured out what I wanted to do when I grew up.
In business, one of the challenges is making sure that your product is the easiest to experience and complete a sale.
I didnt know I was mad about anything. I guess if the New York Times says I am, I must be.
One problem people have is that they lie to themselves. Rarely is talent enough. You have to find ways to make yourself standout. You do so by playing to your strengths and making people aware of those strengths.
Time is the most valuable asset you don't own.
Know your core competencies and focus on being great at them. Pay up for people in your core competencies. Get the best. Outside the core competencies, hire people that fit your culture but aren't as expensive to pay.
