You are preachin to the choir. Of course it should be easier to drop the non-productive for what works. Some times the non-productive is much more fun or is less work. I think it is human nature to gravitate form the harder to the easier items. If you come up with a solution let me know.

So what is it you’re not doing? Certainly it’s not blogging a lot. I love reading you, but go sell something! 🙂
And my 3 beagles are cuter than yours. So there!

I make a nice list and proceed to go through and mark off the easy and fun stuff first.
Geesh! I need a better plan. Sometimes it is hard to draw the line between working IN your business, ON your business and AROUND your business. Good Luck.
BTW- Do you like LeadStreet? Top Producer is pissing me off.

I got the LinkedIn invite too. I just joined Facebook and am frankly confused by it all. I’m yet to see the killer app in it all.
I seriously felt old

For ME Facebook is cool because a lot of friends have found me that I’d lost touch with- namely everyone I graduated high school with. If you’re over 30 though, this is less likely.
Facebook isn’t much of a distraction after you’ve got your network set up, you’ve joined the groups you want and then you let things shake themselves out. I am active in three groups regarding real estate and I have lots of “friends.” I know people say Facebook is for business, but I really think it’s social and leads to business if you are active in your network, etc.
The benefit to Facebook though is (1) you can easily connect with your very young clients and (2) it’s very disarming and you have more permissions to be informal which some people enjoy.
LinkedIN is much more professional. I’ll be writing about LinkedIN soon. Dustin Luther wrote about LinkedIN, so you can start by reading that, but I’ll be adding my impressions soon. I think LinkedIN is much more credible and professional than Facebook.

Take it to the next step, Jonathan:
How many people put blogging ahead of returning client phone calls, going on appointments, or getting out to network?
I never understood that…
