Three great videos from Seth Godin and Tom Peters.
Seth Godin
“… It doesn’t matter if no one reads your blog. What matters is the humility that comes from writing it”.
“…How do you force yourself to describe in three paragraphs, why you did something? How do you respond out loud?”. If you are good at it, some people are going to read it. If you are not good at it, stick with it, you will get good at it”.
“…You are doing it for yourself, to force yourself to become part of the conversation”.
Tom Peters
"I will simply say, my first post was in August of 2004. No single thing in the last 15 years professionally has been more important to my life than blogging. It has changed my life, it has changed my perspective, it has changed my intellectual outlook. It has changed my emotional outlook, parenthesis and it is the best damn marketing tool by an order of magnitude, that I have ever had and it’s free”.
Seth Godin
"Networking is always important when it is real, and its always a useless distraction
when its fake. What the Internet has allowed, it an enormous amount of fake networking".
These are absolutely fantastic videos featuring two of my personal favorites, Seth Godin and Tom Peters. As a small business owner trying to make his way online through both effective blogging and worthwhile social networking, these short and powerful clips are an eye-opener, as well as a reason to never give up. Work hard. Work smart and build your brand, online.
