Social media… You know you need it for your business, but the thought of getting started is completely overwhelming. You look at those businesses that have a great, established presence online. Did they build their presence overnight? Or, are they just better, smarter, and faster than you?
In some cases, you know that certain companies have a lot of money and power behind them. They make a big splash on social media pretty much right away because they already have the power behind them.

What Makes You Different From Everyone ElseYou are different from most people, and I’m sure of that.
Most people are content to live their lives with their eyes closed. They think it’s okay to go through the motions and accept that they will always be the same way. They think they will always get the same results.
Sure, sometimes (usually around New Year’s), they think they’re going to give it an effort. They’re going to change! They make some resolutions, buy that gym membership or buy into that business opportunity. But it really doesn’t go any further than that.
Don’t worry, if that sounds like you, I’m not criticizing you, it’s the same for the majority of people, and I’ve been in that same situation.
