Tweeting For Influence.
Tweeting For Excellence.

While reflecting on several thought provoking words that had just passed through my mental grid of the moment, I wrote the following:

“May our words bring healing, our thoughts peace, and our actions harmony. © Lee Wise”

I then…

• Read them again,
• Noted my “Yes, I like that!” response,
• Decided they were good enough to share,
• And sent them out as a Tweet.

Question: Why Did I Send Out That Tweet?

The answer to that question lies in the process found below:

• One: I found myself in a reflective mood.
• Two: My reflective mood led me to more of a creative writing mode.
• Three: The right words came at the right time. I felt what some might term “in the flow.”
• Four: I sensed a desire share what I wrote.
• Five: So I shared it!

Hold On, This Will Make Sense

I listed the five points above for the purpose of helping you “unpack” the meaning of what I will share with you in this brief article.

But for now the point that I wish to make is that in essence I shared my “content” not only because of the process named above but because it:

• Represented a segment of who Lee Wise is,
• And it allowed me to express my desire to influence people in a positive manner.

In other words, it provided for me a form of positive self expression for a very personal reason.

Said In Another Way…

• Who I was,
• And who I desired to become,
• Prompted me to fulfill in a very small way a purpose of mine.

In other words…

• I capitalized on my desires and talents (who I was),
• Seized the moment to develop my writing skills (who I desired to become),
• Felt that the words could influence someone in a positive manner (thereby fulfilling my purpose to be a positive influence in the world,
• And I sent out my Tweet.

“So, Lee: What’s This Got To Do With Me?”

Great question, and a relatively simple answer.

I wanted to prompt your thinking about deciding on purpose to express who you are through your Tweets while continuing by design to be positive influence in the world as you do.

You may be already doing that, I realize.  But then again you may not or you may not be where you might like to be.

I remain far from any sign that reads “Twitter Marketing Guru Here.”

Do I Tweet in an attempt promote various resources that could allow me to experience some level of financial gain?  Of course.  After all, I am an author, coach and consider myself to be an attraction marketer!

Which means, of course, that I Tweet in order to:

• Promote.
• Influence.
• And develop my skills as a writer.

But not necessarily in that order.  Quite honestly, the latter two dominate a great deal of my “mental Tweet time.”  (Am I the last and greatest example of Tweeting for influence or using the resource as a tool for developing personal excellence?  Of course not, but I try!)

Something To Think About…

I know this post will not capture the attention of many, many folks: it’s simply “not where they are.”

But I also feel that a few folks will identify with the basic concept of…

Utilizing a common tool for the purpose of enhancing their efforts to influence others in a positive way, in their own unique manner:

• Spurned on by their own motivation.
• Inspired by their own dreams.
• And challenged by the thought of “doing a bit more for a few more people.”

That’s It!

Should you feel that my simple post complemented a desire or your own or prompted some additional thoughts about giving to others from your heart, it would be neat to hear from you.

Enjoy the video below and be sure to take time to respond in one way or another.

• Should you isolate one are in your personal development journey that totally excites you at this point, what would that be? And, could you help anyone else along in their journey by capitalizing on that which you enjoy so much?

Renegade Professional For Those Over Sixty — Is This For You? (A Video)

You are over sixty as I am.  In fact, I am 64.

And you are possibly thinking thoughts such as these at this part of your life journey:

• What about internet marketing — could this be for me?
• I am interested in a variety of directions I could head at my age and I would like to find a fit: after all, I enjoy continuing to learn, grow and develop.
• I am kinda worn at this whole internet marketing idea: not totally worn out, but worn.  I wonder about if something might be a good fit for me?
• I’ve heard about Renegade Professional and Renegade University, but I am just not sure about them — I wonder what they are all about.

Should thoughts or questions like the one be in your mind, then I would encourage you to take the next step and watch the video below.  It is intended to help define whether or not Renegade Professional might be a fit for you from my distinct perspective.

A Hard Sell?

Absolutely not: just simple benchmarks from my way of thinking as to whether or not Renegade Professional could be something you relate to at this stage of your life.  It is so obvious that nothing is for everyone, right?  It’s only right if it happens to be what is right for us at the time.

Yes, I am over 60.  In fact, at the time of this writing I am 64 and I am a very happy member of the Renegade Professional community.

So, review the video and you may have some interactions at the conclusion (see below)

Enjoy

Taking It All In

Simple Questions…

• What did I hear my heart saying as I listened to the video?  Should I be responding in any way — including a “No?”  (After all, it could be good, but just not the right time!)
• As I was taking everything in, did I find myself thinking, “I’ll bet ___________ would really enjoy hearing this person’s approach.”
• Thinking in terms of my own learning process — somewhat apart from the idea of whether or not Renegade Pro is for me — what did I take away with me in terms of my own pursuit of success in life?
• What was that email address Lee gave to contact him?  Answer: lee.renegadepro(at)gmail(dot)com.  (Remember, NO offers)
• Did I learn anything relative to the art of communicating on the web that could be helpful for me?

Lee Wise, Renegade Professional: My Story

Below you will find my testimony regarding my experience with the Renegade Professional community of which I am a part.  It will serve as an expansion of my thoughts that are currently on my home page.

Briefly, my experience so far has been great!  Seriously, I am enjoying the ride so-to-speak.  In addition to what I share on the video, I would say that my feelings of “community” with the group continue to grow.  As I am now involved in their coaching program and getting to know the “Renegade Crew” more as time goes on, I would say that my relationship with them grows deeper as well.  I do appreciate them, their values and what I anticipate to be their future contributions to the online and offline marketing world.

Should you be on a similar journey as mine, I hope that the video will prove helpful to you.

Feel free to make comments below and enjoy your day!

Follow Up Comments

You will hear me give the example in the video about learning from other members of the Renegade Professional community and writing my article on The Power Of Story: click here to see my article by that title.  You also hear my refer to several newsletters that I write and how I learned a bit about where to locate that on a site: look to your left and you will see the one entitled A Beautiful Moment In Time.

Attraction Marketing Excellence Means
Learning The Power Of “Story”

Reading this in a recent post got my attention:

“Folks, I branded myself, built my website, managed the newsletter and then made HUGE MONEY in direct sales – while working 40 hours per week as a high school science teacher!”

Taken from Melanie’s post entitled “What does this Woman know about the power of persistence?,” I learned several lessons in my journey to discover and practice more about excellence in my journey of attraction marketing.

Two Immediate Lessons

The power of a personally based, well written:

1. Title
2. And “Summary-leading-to-action” sentence. (Isn’t that a great sentence? Totally motivating.)

Several Additional Lessons About The Power of “Story”

• “Personal” is always good — if it’s a good story and if it’s told well.
• Transparencey — with control — is very good. Transparency out of control is what? Answer: disaster.
• The importance of reflecting the whole idea of “being real.” In sharing her ups and downs (and somewhat in-betweens), I felt like: “real person, real journey, not fake.”
• Links included in the post without being a totally annoying link overkill in the process! Enough to take not of them and possibly arouse curiosity, but stopping very short of annoying.
• A well designed sequence within the framework of the story.

And Speaking Of A “Well Designed Sequence,” Here’s The Sequence

1. Saying how things “were.”
2. Moving from there to “how things began to change.”
3. Then on to “how things are now.”
4. And finally “here’s how to see if we could be a team” (i.e. the invitation).

Your Turn… What Will You “Take Away?”

What will you take away from this short review of important aspects to consider when telling our stories for the purpose of making and impact or creating a favorable response on the part of the hear(s)?  Make it happen: record on your own or think through three ideas now.

1.

2.

3.

Where could you tell your story?

Where should you tell part of your story?

If told, is your story sequenced properly revealing excellence in marketing?

Attraction Marketing Excellence: A “Tweet For Excellence” Example

Browsing through several direct messages from Twitter a few days ago, my eye motion came to a halt when I ran across this Direct Message from Deborah Tutnauer.

“Do one thing today that will improve your life tomorrow…Please share what it is and thanks so much for following me.”  (http://twitter.com/itsallsuccess)

What Caused The Pause

Why did I pause?

1. The sentence challenged me to action.
2. My immediate response was “that’s quality.”
3. I viewed it as complimentary to her purpose as a marketer.

My Attraction Marketing “Take Away” From Deborah’s Tweet

Even with a 140 character limit I can:

1. Share something that will cause people to take good action in their own lives: not just for you.
2. Make it as excellent as possible.  Think “quality,” not just sell.
3. Complement and/or model my own passion or service.

No doubt the “sell” works.  That’s got to be a part of the Twittering experience if you are Tweeting for business… but why not add these three things in the process?

By The Way…

I immediately responded to Deborah and shared with her how much I appreciated the message.  It challenged me to do something in the same manner.

I have not developed it yet, but you just may see the same type of a Tweet from Lee in the days ahead!

Either way, I learned from her approach.

How About You?

• What will you take away from this short example?
• Are you causing people to take good action… or could you?
• Are you complementing your service or passion in doing so?

Enjoy the day,

Lee

P.S.  Thanks, Deborah, for a quality example.

P.P.S.  Look for more from me on the Tweeting with a purpose, etc.  I can feel another article or post coming on!

Attraction Marketing Excellence Means Observing Patterns of Communication

Four Patterns

I loved reading the short post by Lois Kelly entitled “What people write about in social media” from Beelinelabs.  The following four patterns were noted:

What I like.  (You might, too).

What I know. (It may help you, too.)

What irritates me. (Beware, it may but you too.)

What I find helpful. (You may, too).

What I Liked! 

I enjoyed the post for several reasons.

First, because of the simplicity of the article.
Second, because of the patterns noted.
And third, it reinforced the ideas of:

• Paying attention to the needs, joys and victories of others;
• Discovering like pockets of interest;
• Joining in where we are able;
• Being genuine as you do;
• And contributing whenever possible.

Four Obvious Questions Relative To Attraction Marketing Excellence

1. Am I sharing what I like because others might like it as well?
2. Am I sharing what I know so that others may be helped?
3. Am I being honest by sharing my frustrations where appropriate?
4. Am I seeking to find what is helpful and sharing it with others?
