Do you own your words?

By Jim Connolly | July 1, 2012

If someone were to check you out online right now, would the image they build be an accurate reflection of you? Would your digital footprint show them who you are and what you stand for?

Whether we are blogging, social networking, contributing to a forum or adding our thoughts with a comment on a blog post, we need to be ourselves. We need to own our words.

One of your biggest assets

In a super noisy marketplace, one of the most valuable business assets we have, is our uniqueness. Everything we do to stifle our true voice forces us into the background.

The good news? You already have the tools you need, to attract the right kind of attention and connect with people:

  • You have a voice.
  • You have opinions.
  • You have a lifetime of experiences.
  • You have a unique mind.

Use your social media channels to share what makes you unique. It’s the best way I know, to earn peoples attention and connect with them.

The small business owners I work with enjoy far more sales, attract better clients and grow amazing businesses.
If you want the same, here’s exactly how it happens.
