Social Business Consulting continues to evolve and 2017 is no exception.  I have been helping companies with social media marketing since 2009 so makes me feel like a grandfather in the space.  That’s eight years! but a lot has changed in the social business and social media consulting landscape since then.

Here is a quick video post I did on the The Top 10 Must Read Social Media Books for business professionals.  Enjoy!-

social media quotes

Do you love what you do? I certainly do. Did you know over 70% of the population dislike what they do. That means only 30% of people actually LOVE what they do.  My question today is about the social media strategy for your business.  Is your social media strategy lifting people up and leaving them feeling inspired? People often say that social media is mostly hype. That may be so, but at least it’s positive hype.  It’s better than having a negative connotation.  I have been helping businesses with social media since 2009. That said, there is nothing wrong with mixing into your social media marketing mix some motivational, inspirational, and educational content that helps feed peoples minds with positivity.  We have enough negativity in the world today, so I say- continue posting social media content that has positivity.

Thanks for stopping by,
