Connect To Connect To Connections

Yesterday I participated in a Twitter chat that a dear friend of mine put together.

For some it was their first Twitter chat, for others, far from their last. #cxchat is where connectors, entrepreneurs, creatives and makers share resources on topics such as networking, relationship management, professional growth, and community development.

Hosted by Michelle, she came up with a question every ten minutes that introduced a new topic. Rather than going through my reaction to the chat, here are three notes I really want to make.

1.

2. (What I believe is) the most powerful moment of the chat – when Karthik tweeted “Knowledge is on wikipedia, what’s not is the courage to apply it.”

3. You can find the #cxchat summary here.

Oh, yes. Can’t end without saying that Michelle will be putting on another #cxchat Tuesday the 11th at 4:00p.m. eastern time.

 

Stay Positive & Looking For Role Models?

*Yes, number 1 was left blank because I was speechless. Speechless that there really are people out there that want to connect with you, hear your ideas, share them, nurture them, and encourage you in return for your encouragement. There are people who are not looking to make it big, but working to make it – whatever “it” is into something remarkable. I’m speechless because after connecting with these impresario’s, they connected me to even more.

Doing The Same Thing And Expecting Different Results

That is just insane, but it doesn’t mean that you should ignore the golden fact that if you do the same thing you get the same results.

Want to be the best basketball player, do the same things Michael Jordan did.

Want to be the best writer, do the same things as Ernest Hemingway did.

Want to be the best, orchestrator, bungee jumper, marketer, personal trainer, artist, poet, entrepreneur, teacher, firefighter, changer of the world… do the same things as the best in that field have done.

Yes, you have to switch up what you are doing to get different results, but why risk getting more bad results when you can just do the same thing that the successful have done and become just that – successful.
