Throughout life there are always obstacles which come up and can cause us to lose sight of our goals.  Whether it’s simply a piece of chocolate cake when we are on a diet or a failed networking situation when we are trying to grow a business; obstacles are always there.  But how you choose to view those obstacles are up to you. When you are given the opportunity to face a challenge, it’s important to keep in mind that although you can’t always control the situation, circumstances or the outcome, the one thing you can control is how you perceive

On January 10, 2013   /   Business, Facebook, LinkedIn, Linkedin Strategy, Marketing, Social Media, Social Media Marketing, Success, Twitter   /   Comments

I get it!  I really do!   After last weeks blog many of my subscribers have informed me in these words.  “No way am I going to waste my time on Social Media (SM)”!  Why do I need a plan when my teenager can post for me, and create content.  That’s my plan.” The good news is if you really don’t want to grow your business or meet new potential clients then by all means don’t bother with a plan.  Who needs a fancy schmanzy SM plan anyways. Some more good news if you really don’t want to grow your business,

On November 8, 2012   /   Business, Marketing, Planning, Social Media, Social Media Marketing, Success   /   Comments

Last week as most of you know, most of the northeast was without power.  I was one of the lucky ones without power.  I found it challenging but fun.  Mostly it was fun because I got to spend a lot of time with family and friends chatting.  I will tell you that there was not a lot of social media marketing happening in our home. What was happening was family game time.  Guess what the game was?  Risk was the game.  I must confess I’m very competitive.  Winning is important, besides who doesn’t like winning.  At any rate, I played

“Lights Out”

On November 1, 2012   /   Comfort Zone, Social Media, Success   /   Comments

As Hurricane Sandy blew her way in, all of us on the East Coast were making preparations.  The funny thing is you can never be too prepared. Well, I thought at least I have a fireplace.  I hurried to get some water and wood and made sure we had the essentials to survive a couple of days without power.  I’m on Day 4 with out power and I’m still surviving and very thankful. I’m thankful that the Sandy is gone!  I’m thankful that all my family is safe and our homes are intact. I was thinking of this term “lights

The “Why”

On September 13, 2012   /   Balance, Business, Marketing, Social Media, Social Media Marketing, Success   /   Comments

In business it is so important to know why you do what you do.  I think if you know why it’s half of the battle of succeeding in business. If you are not very clear on your “why”, you have a good chance of failing.  Being clear about why you are in business and having a compelling story can be a foundation for your success.  For me, I found, it keeps me moving forward. My “why” is pretty simple, I do Footpath Coaching to help entrepreneurs and small business owners succeed in their businesses by utilizing Social Media Managing and Marketing.   Nothing makes
