@belllindsay I totally agree. Though I just don't see how applying what works to a company like Disney is of any help to most businesses. Disney doesn't need to engage for people to want to see what they say.
@EdenSpodek Just watch out if @bobledrew also gets going ;) @Karen_C_Wilson @ginidietrich @belllindsay
@Karen_C_Wilson @ginidietrich @belllindsay She really did text me saying "I'm nacho friend" She and my husband also both guessed that the chip video was mine because apparently my love of punny is well known. :)
@EdenSpodek you don't get the chips? That was my submission, cracked me up ;)
The comments in your posts are always so interactive, I love it! I will admit that I don't comment much, a anywhere, but someone always replied when I comment here. It really does make me feel welcome and more inclined to comment again!
I also hate #ff with a long list of names. At least explain who they are!
@AmyMccTobin Oh, I absolutely agree! I also think that I've been lucky enough to have never worked in an environment where I felt my chances of success were less because of my gender. I know that definitely isn't the case everywhere.
I will completely admit to doing this. I wanted a family and now have three young kids. The desire to work my way up the ranks to a job that would require me to work insane hours while trying to raise a young family.... I just didn't want that. I'm now building up my business on my own terms (and honestly, some of my feelings may have come from always wanting to work for myself :) and by the time my kids are older I expect to be working a lot more intensely than I am now.
For now I want both my husband and I to be available and flexible enough to have family time. So maybe I just want everyone to slow down, not just the women ;) I think everyone should get equal opportunity and equal pay for all jobs, I just understand why a lot of women don't go that route.
I tried Triberr a long time ago and stopped using it fairly quickly. I *think* it was automatically sharing everything in my tribe instead of it being a choice...
This has definitely got me thinking I need to go back and explore it again! Thanks!
I've been working from home for the last few years but where I've struggled is how to stay really connected with other people on the same projects. Do you have regular skype meetings to replace the ability to have a quick meeting in the morning to make sure everyone is still on the same page?
@belllindsay @ginidietrich I don't think we are all like that, but I know I am and it's great to hear about others who are too :)
@ginidietrich It's so frustrating! That argument makes no sense. If you'd invested a ton of money in a VHS recording studio, would you still keep making VHS tapes even though NOBODY wants them anymore? :)
I think people just like using buzzwords :)
We work with a lot of people who understand social is important but don't really "get it" or even want to. It can be really hard to convince small business owners to start being social online!
@TonyBennett @ginidietrich Exactly. Finding someone who can help you with your weaknesses and vice versa has been my goal.
@ginidietrich Probably! I definitely have a lot of advice when it comes to partnerships - it's really hard to find just the right personality mix to jointly run anything I think. It hasn't always be smooth road :)
I need to work on 3 and 4 in 2013. I think I can already qualify myself as a serial mini entrepreneur - and to solve 3 and 4 I always partner with someone and never run these businesses alone :)
ooh - a facebook photo book!
