None of us wants to feel stupid. Especially not when you have been in business for ten, fifteen, twenty years or more. But when it comes to new technology, let’s face it, we do!
The tough part is the speed at which social media changes. Take a look at these amazing statistics about Twitter:
- 53% of Twitter users are Female
- 31% of Twitter users are 35-49 (21% are over 50)
- 82% are Caucasian
- 7,500 new accounts (on average) are opened each DAY
Social media is not going away. It’s time to take your head out of the sand and hoping it will go away.
I know its scary, this learning curve involves a whole new language and a world you don’t really understand.
So what are you going to do?
Well, you can always carry on feeling stupid. Or you can learn something.
But wait.
Wasn’t there a time, when learning was actually fun?
When your mind was open to new ideas, unlimited possibilities, interesting new ways of seeing old things. Remember?
Like the sensation of being in love, learning creates expansion, not just in your mind but in your whole being. Because when the mind opens, we tune in and see things we didn’t see before. Like opportunities.
Have you ever put a box, a post-it note, or a folder somewhere to remind you to do something but then after a while, you don’t see it any more?
Right now there is an opportunity to fall in love with learning again. To engage in what is new, exciting and relevant. (Not to mention good for business)
The choice: To feel young, relevant, engaged and up to date or To feel stupid, old and outdated.
Now there is a tough decision….
