I do\u2026 but I get a little sinking feeling in my gut.<\/p>\n<p>When I really think about it, it\u2019s because they are always negative, nothing goes right in their life, and they just call to complain, or they always need something. Every time they call it\u2019s because they need a favor, or information, or help with something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Those kind of people are just exhausting to me.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Funny thing is\u2026 I see people just like them on social media all the time\u2026 and I\u2019m pretty sure other people react the same way to them as I do the people who call me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s the thing\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Social media is just that\u2026 social. If all you\u2019re ever doing on twitter is asking for people to go look at your posts\u2026 it gets old. People are on twitter because they want to connect, and have a conversation. It\u2019s much easier on twitter to not pay attention than it is for me to not pick up the phone. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/541\/2012\/10\/icon_smile-4.gif\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>If all you\u2019re doing on Facebook is complaining, and talking about how awful things are for you, it gets old too.<\/p>\n<p>Social media is just that social\u2026 people want to be around people who are connecting, and having conversations, and are uplifting, and positive, and make you feel good to be around.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not\u2026 it\u2019s super easy to \u201cignore\u201d you on social media. One click gets an \u201cunfollow\u201d on twitter\u2026 and I never have to see your messages again. One click gets a \u201chide\u201d on facebook and I never see your messages.<\/p>\n<p>It is really simple for people to make you out of sight and out of mind on social media.<\/p>\n<p>But it is JUST as easy to make people look forward to your posts\u2026 and to smile when they see your avatar come up. I know there are certain people where that happens for me.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it\u2026 you\u2019re on Facebook, and someone\u2019s little face pops up\u2026 how do you feel? Are you excited to see what they have to say? Are you feeling a little happier now that you\u2019ve seen their face pop up in your stream?<\/p>\n<p>Take it one step further\u2026 when the person who makes you smile talks about something new they have to offer do you ALWAYS look at it, and want to do it?! I know I do! It may not always fit, and I may not join, but I always WANT to\u2026 and I always look.<\/p>\n<p>Next think about what that person talks about\u2026 what do they do to make you feel the way you feel about them?<\/p>\n<p>For the person who makes you smile, what do they post, talk about, share, be?<\/p>\n<p>For the person that makes you cringe, what do they post, talk about, who are they as a person?<\/p>\n<p>You can learn a lot from your own reactions to your facebook and twitter streams\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start being the person who makes YOU smile<\/strong>, and suddenly you\u2019ll be making other people smile when they see YOU pop up too!<\/p>\n<p>I have built entire businesses on social media\u2026 and it\u2019s all because I work very hard at being the person that makes you smile when you see me in your stream. Which means I work very hard at being that person in real life\u2026 because whoever you are is simply amplified on social media.<\/p>\n<p>When people smile when they see you they want to be around you more and more. People want to feel good! When people want to be around you more, they\u2019re likely to join you in whatever you\u2019re doing. If it makes great money, is easy and fun\u2026 all the better.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to learn more about what I do, and how I do it all on social media\u2026 <strong>watch the video in the sidebar<\/strong>\u2026 and connect with me!<\/p>\n<p>Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are people who, when I see them on the caller ID, I just don\u2019t want to pick up the phone.
