Cutright Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:22:28 +0000 http://www.chrisg.com/?p=1065#comment-13340 My biggest social media challenge is sticking to self-imposed time constraints. I have set a social media schedule for myself that allows for responding to email, dm, im; for networking; for learning; and for productivity but I find myself spending more than the allotted time on networking and less on productivity. To curtail this problem I have started using a timer which keeps me aware of the time I am spending on various activities. It is too early to tell if it is working as I have only been timing myself for less than a week. My biggest social media challenge is sticking to self-imposed time constraints.

I admit it! – when I first saw someone text I thought I’ll never do that!! And here I find myself at 46yrs old jumping head first into the SM deep-end! Why? Because I’ve just set up as a Small Business Owner. Yup – another deep end!! So what’s my SM challenge? To make as big a splash as I can and keep those ripples going! I’m on board with the basics. But please give me the gift of time and sanity, and stop me reinventing the wheel, by telling me how it’s all done, how it all links, and how to maximize it for success. I am so hungry to learn from those who know. Arm me with all the tools to enable and empower people to get healthy – on a local, national and international basis! Dawn Peters PS. Does it help if I Tweet ‘#win SMSS’ here? Only joking!! Ok OK! I admit it! – when I first saw someone text I thought I’ll never do that!!

To everyone else it may sound simple but when you are going against the norm as in social networks versus outside communities it changes the face of everything. We chose to build a grassroots initiative with a support system through online communities. We have made great headway in that now we have teamed up with LIVESTRONG.COM, Cyclebetes, Vitazest, Diabetes Research Institute and a major health project with the City of Floresville, Texas. Now all of this is based within the last 60 days and it is unbelievable since this all started as therapy for me when I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 years ago. Anyway I see this seminar as learning more and better ways to enhance what we have learned and get our message out to more of the people who need it. When you figure there are 285 million diabetics in the world and maybe only 5 million using social networks our work as a grassroots initiative is cut for us and I see social media the only way to reach these people along with our outside communities. Thanks for the chance to win tickets to this event. Mark My challenge with social media has been in working it for the non-profit sector covering one disease, Diabetes.
