Reading about it vs. living it!

ist2_6400517-wolf-in-sheep-s-clothingTwo very different things. We all know that text book knowledge is one thing… actual hands on work experience is another.

My point is this – Social Media and the world that it is needs to be played with, practised, fudged, screwed up, excelled at and train wrecked so you can learn what <not> to do.

Reading about it is great. Living it is necessary. 

Beware all you newbies to SM. Beware of those so called experts who are really newbies dressed up in lamb’s clothing. If your expert is suggesting you play in, utilize, leverage or act in this space ask to see some ID.

This reminds me of something Nana used to say: Don’t do what I do. Do what I say. – It didn’t work then and I can’t imagine it working now.

For a broad stroke visual of what Social Media is, find my post “What the Hell is Going on!”

For a kick ass workshop on SM – email me – I take requests!
