How you can use LinkedIn to meet new customers?

I'm fascinanted with the power of social media. Since experts predict by 2014 this industry will be 3.1B as entreprenurs we must be ready to add value in this new world of globalization. Last week I reached out to an executive at a major financial institution. You maybe saying so what? I never used a microsoft product and I got an immediate response because the individual could easily see that I was connected to many of the persons peers by using LinkedIn. If I'm Microsoft "big red flag." Who else should be concerned? TV Producers, Magazine publishers, agencies and any other industry that is not driving equal value of effort to monetary reward.

Social Media is here embrace it don't fight it!

I'm fascinated with the humanistic power of social interaction. What is the worst punishment society hands down to our worst criminals in society? Solitary confinement. So the ultimate reward for humans are the freedom of expression. This is what are grand parents fought for in WWII. The web has finally allowed us to express who we are as human beings. We have been suppressed for so long in society we are nervous to step forward. In the corporate world executives are terrified because they are focusing on all the negatives and not the positives of openness, sharing, and most important part of social media are the interactions and expressing your views and thoughts. How else can we improve as human beings without feedback. Now for the first time in our world we can share and express are individuality! Brilliant!

Now go get started by starting your own blog or podcast and share what's on your mind. The more open we are the more reward. Embrace this new world. Should be an amazing journey....

Life as a Soccer Coach in Canada

One of the most rewarding things in our lives to do is teaching. If we have children we are teaching or it maybe your profession. Everyday we learn so someone must be sharing or teaching us something. I was fortunate to play for my country in soccer. It was an amazing experience of dedication hard work perseverance. In the end of my soccer career I received a soccer scholarship and received my Bachelor of Science degree International Business. Both my parents never achieved a University degree so it was quite the honour to achieve this landmark.

When I was in school I developed a soccer camp of excellence for developing potential scholarship players but I also ran camps for kids just wanting to have fun. It was very rewarding. I had the chance to coach in a small US community that had a thirst for the game and paid us to coach seeing the immediate value. I had the opportunity to take a U19 girls team to the state championship final. Very rewarding watching these girls gel and believe in themselves. Now in 2009 I stepped in to coach a U14 girls team in a small town. Once again very rewarding seeing children with no coaching or parents trying their best or may have hidden agendas but making some kind of effort. However, this time an unbelievable sequence of events has unfolded. I have an assistant coach who has no expertise in the game but is a great administrator sending out wild and false accusations about me as a coach, person, and a father. Why do people feel the need to send out mass emails? Is it a form of security so people acknowledge they are OK? Very disruptive and not in the best interest of children who want to learn, develop, and have fun. It's most unfortunate and I wish their family all the best in life.
