Miserable or Strong?

“We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”

— Carlos Castaneda, author

 

The work we put into making ourselves miserable is the same amount of work to make us stronger and happier! So why don’t more people focus on getting stronger?

There just seem to be more people that complain and have negative energy all around us. That negative energy is CATCHY! Watch out! When you are around negative people they just suck the life right out of you. They bring you down with them and that’s why it’s so easy to be miserable. Get around people that lift you up, that feel good to be around, that are positive.

We all choose our emotions. We all choose how we react to everything that happens. How are you reacting to life, whether you are going through some tough times right now, just came out of tough times or will soon be going through tough times, how you react and feel about the situation are up to you.

Take responsibility for your feelings and emotions. Realize nothing has meaning until we assign a meaning to, knowing this are there things in your life that you can reassign meaning to so that you win, so that it doesn’t make you miserable.

Choose to be Strong… Choose to be Happy!

Everything is a Miracle…

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. -- Albert Einstein

How are you walking through life?

How do you see the world?

Most people are drifting through life without ever really looking at what is going on around them…Where are they? They are in a fog, a self delusional fog, where they are so focused on the circumstances of their life that and the negative attitude associated with it that they are essentially zombies.

Nothing impresses them. Nothing intrigues them. Nothing sparks their imagination. Nothing gets them to say “Wow! Isn’t that interesting?”

These are the people that life happens to, they are always complaining about how life is so hard, why does this always happen to me, nothing exciting ever really happens.

Wake UP!

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

Look around you!

Do you not see all the amazing things happening in the world, all the technology, the medical advances, everyday nature? Kids are great at this, walking around in curious amazement, asking questions, wondering, imagining. So why does that stop for most people. I don’t think I ever grew up, that is one thing that I never lost. Other parents look at me a wonder “What’s wrong with him? He is the biggest kid on the playground.” Or “Look at him, a grown man sledding down the hill.” But what they think of me is none of my business.

What I find is that when you see everything as a miracle you are much more open to new ideas, different ways of doing everything. You can see things from a different point of view, admit that maybe you don’t have all the answers, which opens the doors to unlimited possibilities.

Open your eyes to the world around you, start imagining again, start questioning. If you aren’t where you want to be and you need to make some changes, start with yourself. Nothing changes until you change. And the only thing that you actually have control over are your thoughts, and the way you see everything in your life. Problem or Opportunities? How you look at everything and how you respond are up to you, take back control and open your eyes to amazing new things.

Change the way you look at life and you will change your life. 

Don’t…

Don’t wait for time. Make it.

Don’t wait for love. Feel it.

Don’t wait for money. Earn it.

Don’t wait for the path. Find it.

Don’t wait for opportunity. Create it.

Don’t go for less. Get the best.

Don’t compare. Be unique.

Don’t fight your misfortune. Transform it.

Don’t avoid failure. Use it.

Don’t dwell on mistake. Learn from it.

Don’t back down. Go around.

Don’t close your eyes. Open your mind.

Don’t run from life. Embrace it.

What’s your Digital Marketing Strategy?

Digital Marketing Strategy - Dan Beldowicz

“What’s my digital marketing strategy?”

“Well, I have a website, we are on Facebook and Twitter, we also have a YouTube account, and we were thinking about a blog and Pinterest. What do you think about them? Are they worth it, those are digital strategies, right?”

Most business owners that I talk to rattle off the tools they are using but they never talk about the strategy or the plan to use the tools to accomplish a specific goal.

After asking about their digital strategy, I ask about their goals with their website and social media profiles. They reply confused, answering, “Well we have to be there, our competitors are there!”

Again the focus is not on the strategy or goal of what they are trying to get out of using digital marketing tools. Start with your goal, the goal is not
All sales are educational and emotional, you need to get your target market to know, like and trust you, “sell-u-cate” them on your product/service and transfer a positive emotion as to the feeling your prospects will have from the benefits of your products/service. Until you walk them through this process you will never get a return from your digital marketing strategy.to be where your competitors are but to stay at the top of your prospects minds, to stay in touch with existing customers and to gain new customers. The Strategy is “HOW” you are going to achieve this. So again I ask, “What is Your Digital Marketing Stategy?”

“But everyone says not to sell in social media!”

That’s right! But you have to start the process where your target market is. Your digital marketing strategy has to meet your prospects where they are, meeting them with the problems they are having that your product/service solves. When you create content that focuses on their problems you become relatable and you get them interested to read on. Distributing that content through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn is part of the strategy to get the information in front of the right people. This will attract interested parties to your website (now they are outside social media) which should be your sales tool.

There seems to be two extremes in social media tactics, every post links back to your website or no post links back to your website. There has to be a healthy balance so that people don’t feel you are just selling them and the other extreme leaves them feeling that you are just broadcasting at them. Share useful articles on trusted sources that don’t compete with you, invite visitors back to your website to read content that you have produced, and most importantly, interact with your audience. Comment on their comments, “Like” what they post, ENGAGE, be a human, if someone asks a question answer it.

Digital Marketing Strategies applies to each tool you use, make sure they work in concert, you don’t have to be on every social media platform, you only need one or two that you work hard and see results from.
