The Dangers of Social Networking

There are very few secrets in the world anymore. This is mostly due to the fact that social networking has opened up a world where almost every thought goes onto the Web for all "friends" to see. This phenomenon has caused families to be split, marriages to be dissolved and children to experience their parents' unfiltered thoughts on a daily basis. Has putting our thoughts out for all to read on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis caused more problems for our society as a whole, or has it opened up a world of free speech and opinion for all? Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard once said, "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought, which they seldom use." Has his thought come to life in the online society we have created? Is social networking bringing people closer, or pushing our society even deeper into our self-made solitary confinement?

These questions are being taken very seriously by many different groups of people. Online bullying has become an overwhelming problem with teens and young adults, as well as in the workplace. Without the right security measures, everything that people put out in these public domains is subject to being scrutinized and looked at by anyone in the world. Studies are being done on the effects of the amount of time that teens and young adults spend in this online universe versus the time they spend actually having peer contact. Is this way of interacting with others a constructive, healthy activity or is it just one more way to seclude oneself and hide behind the screen of a computer?

All these risks aside, what is it that society is teaching the youth of the world? Is it a constructive networking tool for businesses and professionals? Or is it a time consuming risk factor for their future? Used in the correct ways, social networking can be a great asset to the general public. However, employers are banning sights from office networks due to the decrease in productivity, co-workers are getting in raging arguments over things "posted," and husbands and wives are stalking their spouses due to suspected infidelity.

The Dangers of Social Networking

So, is social networking in fact a benefit to global society or the devil in disguise? Researchers continue to do studies and draw conclusions, but, like the old saying goes, "Everything is good in moderation." Using these methods as the sole social outlet is not only damaging to social skills and interaction, but can cause more problems and stress on the body and mind if used in excess. Beware what is put out for all to see. Once it is put in the viral world, it is there to stay.

Your 100-Day Action Plan

What I'm doing right now in my business will show up as results in three months. Why? Because of "lag time." True momentum is gained over time. I have discovered it takes about 100 days for the results of my actions to really become evident. I call this the 100-Day Rule, and you'll need to create a 100-Day Plan to keep you focused and moving in the right direction.

Here's how the 100-Day Rule works. Whatever you are doing right now, today, will affect your business in 100 days. If you're busy searching for new business two hours a day, you'll have fantastic results in 100 days. If you occupy yourself with paperwork and minutiae, allowing them to consume all of your time, then 100 days from now you're going to be frustrated because you won't be generating the results I know you truly desire.

After a short time working together, clients will often ask me, "What is the problem - why aren't things happening for me now?" My response is (always): "What were you doing 100 days ago?" Those are the results you're getting today! It should make you think, and open your eyes to realize the importance of today's activities, and the thoughts, you are (or are not) putting into pre-planning them.

Your 100-Day Action Plan

I often see my clients get focused, take massive action, network, make phone calls, have a calendar full of meetings, and see no immediate results in month one. They see some measurable results in month two, and then, bang! Amazing results and true momentum occur for them in month three.

The 100-day Rule will keep you going because it will help you understand what is happening in your business and why. You're less likely to become discouraged and quit when you understand this concept. It's fun to be looking days ahead, and it takes the pressure off while you're working your current plan.

Don't beat yourself up for what you did, or didn't do, 100 days ago. It's what you do today that is important. When you accept this rule, it's much easier to persevere in the face of "downturns."

Coach's Command: To create a strong, stable, constantly growing business, always be thinking and working 100 days out.

Here's how to make sure your business plan pays off: create a 100-Day Plan, and update it every single month. Meaning, you will actually create 12 100-Day Plans each year... starting with January 1st - April 10th, then the beginning of February, create a new 100-Day Plan - the dates of this one will be February 1st - May 10th. This will keep you consistently moving in the right direction, with on-going, effective check-ins to keep you on track.

Begin your 100-Day Plan with a mini-vision statement, accompanied by a purpose statement. These two statements will be your guiding light, reminding you not only what you're excited about, but why.

Next, create empowering descriptors for yourself, such as "progressive, educated leader" or "marketing maven." In other words, do you want to be "in shape" or a "goddess?" Give yourself a reputation to live up to, using the most energizing, positive words you can think of. Words are incredibly powerful, be particularly alert to the words you use to describe yourself and the actions you want to take. These powerful descriptions of you will help create and maintain a desire to continue, even when the going gets tough. Your plan should include three areas of focus. Depending on which areas of your business need growth, development and management, you'll pick the three most important.

Do you need more contacts? Are you getting, but not closing, presentations? Do you have plenty of customers, but want to improve your relationship with them? Pick the top three, most crucial to be the focus areas for this particular 100-Day Plan. Keep in mind that you'll be re-tooling, modifying and updating your plan monthly. You want your plan, and your business, to be balanced.

Coach's Example: As you are focusing on current sales, remember to look for new business and be constantly networking to keep your momentum going.

Next, define your resources. I'm not talking about cash resources here. I'm talking about people you know, books, seminars, and other business tools. Your resources are invaluable, in that they are a well you can draw from to maximize results. The more resources you have available, the easier your path to success can be.

Of course, you'll add in your goals - making them to fit within the 100-Day timeframe.

The last section of your 100-day Plan is the "Next Steps" section. This includes everything you can think of that needs to be done for you to reach your goals in the next 100 days. Like a to-do list, you are going to prioritize each item according to what is most important, then what's next most important... repeating until the list is completed.
