Social Traffic - What is it all about?

Hi everyone,

It has been awhile since I posted as I have taken some time to prioritize and reorganize my life and my business, all the while coaching basketball and getting on board a new business start-up adventure. I have also told you in the past that I would bring opportunities & people to your attention who I know can help you be the best you can be and today is one of those days.

I took the time to really assess where I was going, what I wanted to accomplish and who I wanted to become., something I highly recommend we all do from time to time. While in the midst of this self-discovery hiatus, a recurring thought kept entering my head. What can I do to make a major impact on the world? What can I do to come together with a group of like minded individuals and work together for a common cause that will change the world like never before? And then, just as I have been teaching for years, it was manifested, when I met Simon Ford on Facebook. You see, Simon is the visionary behind Social Traffic and it is everything I was looking for.

You do not have to be a business owner or entrepreneur to join and/or gain something from the experience of belonging to this team. There is no cost involved, other then your time and you do not have to want to become a social marketing expert. All is needed is a burning desire to help make positive changes for the world, all the while having access to training and mentoring to help you with your personal and/or professional growth. Who knows, you may even make some friends for life.

While my blog will still be dedicated to helping you be the best you can be, I have to say that taking a look at Social Traffic Inc. would be a very smart choice in helping you achieve that goal

What is Social Traffic Inc.?

We are a social media marketing company dedicated to building a global organization based upon the visionary idea that we can build it from scratch using human capital. We are doing this by attracting some of the world's most forward thinking, socially conscious, passionate, compassionate people into one cohesive team through the power of social networking, all while supporting and promoting wonderful causes around the world.

Why should I consider joining this movement?

If you are looking to be part of a organization that is creating a paradigm shift in the way social marketing is used. If you are looking to be part of a historical event. If you are seeking personal and professional growth. If you want to support wonderful global causes. If you would be willing to exchange time and effort for some of the most advanced social media marketing training and mentoring ever offered before, then this is something I encourage you to check it out.

Where do I go & how do I get started?

Martin Luther King Jr. - A Celebration

On this, the day we celebrate the life and times of one of the world's greatest champions and leaders of the cause for human rights, equality and peace, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes, from this wonderful man.

It is my dream, that what Dr. King contributed will be amplified by not only myself but by all those around the world that belive in the principles that he promoted:

PEACE, LOVE, EQUALITY

All quotes are by Dr. King

"The time is always right to do what is right."

"A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus."

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."

"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."

"It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it."

Not only did Dr. King set the example and provide the leadership to a generation of civil rights evangelists and promoters but directly led the way to the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States. That milestone in the history of the United States will be celebrated tomorrow with his inauguration.

Won't you all take time today to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King?

Thank you for reading my blog today and please feel free to comment and provide your own thoughts on Dr. King. I also welcome your suggestions as to future topics.

May you be blessed always and in all ways!

Yes, we can all get along!

I have been saying for years that we have the capacity to look past our differences and those things that we use to separate us and just love one another. Here is a wonderful example of just that from the animal world. Check out this video and you will see what I mean. Then come back here and leave a comment.

It does not get much simpler than that. I hope this has stirred some deep seated emotions inside of you and that you would help by sharing this with everyone you know, so you too can be a part of the shift in human consciousness happening around the world at this very moment!

Thank you for taking the time to read and watch the information on my blog today. I would appreciate your help with any comments, feedback and ideas for future blog posts.

May you be blessed always and in all ways!

How to evaluate a situation or decision.

I had a friend of mine contact me the other day, asking me what to do when you have made a bad decision. I decided to put my response in my blog in the hopes that it will help others.

First of all, get out of the mind set that it was a "bad" decision. It simply was a decision that you made at the time that seemed to be the way to go. No decision is bad if you learned something from it. The beautiful thing is we have the power to choose something different if something is not working.

Do not give away that power by retreating into negative thought. You made a decision, simple as that and now you have the opportunity to either choose something different or make something positive out of your current situation.

Now, here is my 5 Step System to evaluate anything:

Step 1: Sit and make a list of all the pros and cons of the various options. As well as your thoughts and feelings about each. Write down anything that comes to mind and notice if any of these feelings are coming from fear and/or doubt. While doing this ask yourself, "Why am I feeling this way?" Write down your responses.

Step 2: Review the list. Make any additions/corrections as needed.

Step 3: Set the list aside and take some time to ponder it, you know meditate, go into silence, etc; ask the universe and see what guidance you get. This helps to get the emotions out of it. Sometimes when we are too emotional about something, we either block or ignore our inner knowing because of the "noise" or "chatter" caused by the emotional reaction to the situation.

Step 4: Put the list away and do not think on it for at least a day.

Step 5: Go back to the list and repeat Steps 2 and 3 and then see what guidance you get. Then go with your natural "gut" or intuitive feeling. Fear and doubt have a way of keeping us stagnant. They also release the feelings of "I made a bad decision" or "I am not good enough". Simply do not go there but rather seek guidance from that inner knowing. It will never let you down.

Thank you for reading my blog today. I hope I was able to impart some useful information. Please feel free to comment or share things that work for you. I look forward to your input.

May you be blessed always and in all ways!

Social Media - The Dawning of a New Age!

We are at the threshold of the Age of Consciousness and it is a great time to be alive on earth for we are the new pioneers and our message is one of love, peace, joy and prosperity for everyone, in abundance, forevermore.

"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity". - Albert Einstein

It was the Internet that allowed the free flow of information behind the iron curtain that brought the truth to a people starving for it. Today, social media has now taken what the Internet started and we are doing it at the speed of thought.

We are making connections that only a few short years ago would have been practically impossible to make. And the truth is out and once out can never be put back in again. No longer can the spreaders of hate, greed, disempowerment and fear hide behind the walls of time and distance for neither are an obstacle to the truth today.

“A human being is part of the whole called by us the universe--a part limited in time and space. S/he experiences her/himself, their thoughts and their feelings, as something separate from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of their consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us; it restricts us to our personal decisions and our affections to a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” - Albert Einstein

Now that we know and understand the power of social media, it is our responsibility to use it for good and to change the world for the better. To do anything else would be immoral and cowardly.

So, I for one pledge to do all in my power to use this gift of social media that the universe has provided to usher in the Age of Consciousness, where peace, love, joy and prosperity reign.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.' - Albert Einstein

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I am honored that you would do so. Please share your thoughts, comments, stories and topic suggestions.

May you be blessed always and in all ways!
