    Places to Looks for Inspiration

    Places to look for inspiration…

    In the music you hear and the songs you sing

    Through the lens of a camera

    In a great neighborhood bookstore

    In a garden where you can dig for it

    Through the eyes of a friend

    In the laughter of little kids

    On the shelves of your local library

    In the conversations around you

    Via movies, TV shows, and YouTube videos

    In the sound of a burbling spring

    On the beach, on the street, or on the subway

    In the faces of lovers and strangers

    In People, Vanity Fair, Wired, Woman’s Day

    On Facebook, on Twitter, on Google+

    In your notebooks, junk drawers, or diaries

    On a random street or highway

    In the wag of a dog’s tail

    Via a podcast, a webinar, or a Google Hangout

    In one of your old blog posts

    Through the hearts and minds of your friends

    In a book, a poem, an essay, a manifesto

    On the dark side of the moon

    In the stillness of the night

    Via the deepest inkling of your soul

    This Tip-O-Graphic reveals 18 things that high achievers do that low achievers don’t. These points are adapted from several blog posts by Amy Morin featured on Forbes.com several years ago (but which took the negative path rather than the positive path exhibited here). I much prefer the positive path I chose.

    What Mentally Strong People Actually Do: This Tip-O-Graphic reveals 18 things that high achievers do that low achievers don't. #successtips #motivation #inspiration

    1. They move on. They don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves.

    2. They keep control. They don’t give away their power.

    3. They embrace change. They welcome challenges.

    4. They stay happy. They don’t complain. They don’t waste energy on things they can’t control.

    5. They are kind, fair, and unafraid to speak up. They don’t worry about pleasing other people.

    6. They are willing to take calculated risks. They weigh the risks and benefits before taking action.

    7. They invest their energy in the present. They don’t dwell on the past.

    8. They accept full responsibility for their past behavior. They don’t make the same mistake over and over.

    9. They celebrate other people’s success. They don’t resent that success. They also celebrate their own success.

    10. They are willing to fail. They don’t give up after failing. They see every failure as a chance to improve.

    11. They enjoy their time alone. They don’t fear being alone.

    12. They are prepared to work and succeed on their own merits. They don’t feel the world owes them anything.

    13. They have staying power. They don’t expect immediate results.

    14. They evaluate their core beliefs — and modify as needed.

    15. They expend their mental energy wisely. They don’t spend time on unproductive thoughts.

    16. They think productively. They replace negative thoughts with productive thoughts.

    17. They tolerate discomfort. They accept their feelings without being controlled by them.

    18. They reflect on their progress every day. They take time to consider what they’ve achieved and where they are going.

    Best Practices for Short Tweets

    Courtesy of Pardot, here are nine tips on how to squeeze more words (or more meaning) into your 140-character tweets.

    1. Use Thsrs (http://www.ironicsans.com/thsrs) to find shorter synonyms for long words you want to use. — Click to Retweet #1

    2. Don’t use the word “and.” Just substitute symbols like & or + to save 2 characters. — Click to Retweet #2

    3. Get rid of unnecessary pronouns and articles, like the words “that” and “the.” — Click to Retweet #3

    4. Find the best link shortener out there. Bit.ly is a good choice. — Click to Retweet #4

    5. Substitute numbers for words. — Click to Retweet #5

    6. Use contractions whenever possible. — Click to Retweet #6

    7. Drop vowels from words as long as the word still makes sense. — Click to Retweet #7

    8. Use common abbreviations. While they’re not always pretty, substituting “w/” for “with” can save you 2 characters. “Retweet” can easily become “RT,” and “by the way” is often shortened to just “btw.” — Click to Retweet #8

    9. Use expanded images. A picture is worth 10,000 words. Tweets with expanded images receive 18% more clicks, 89% more favorites, and 150% more retweets than those without. — Click to Retweet #9

    How to Get More Retweets

    TrackMaven just released a report that analyzed 1,423 Twitter accounts featuring more than a million tweets. The report reveals many of the elements that make up a successful tweet, one that is retweeted more often.

    Here are the major results they discovered during their survey:

    More tweets are sent out on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday than other days of the week. Tweets during the weekend are half those during the week.

    Tweets on Sunday get an average of 0.168 retweets, more retweets than any other day of the week.

    More tweets are sent out during the middle of the day than any other time of the day, peaking at noon Eastern time.

    Retweets peak in the late evening hours with the highest percentage of retweets occurring between 10 and 11 p.m. Eastern time (0.194 retweets on average per 1,000 followers).

    More hashtags result in more retweets. 5 hashtags and 11+ hashtags get the most retweets.

    If you use @ mentions in your tweets, you’ll get the maximum number of retweets with 4 or 6 mentions (with a dramatic dropoff with more mentions).

    You’ll get more retweets if you place a link near the end of your tweet.

    Tweets with images get 3 times as many retweets as tweets without an image.

    If you want retweets, ask for the retweet (not an RT).

    The more exclamation marks, the more retweets, with 9 exclamation marks getting the most retweets.

    ALL CAPs tweets get 4 times as many retweets as no caps tweets. Many social media experts recommend that you don’t shout (use ALL CAPS), but this result obviously suggests that ALL CAPS actually produce better results (at least in regards to the number of retweets).

    And for another look at this survey, see http://bookmarketingbestsellers.com/11-proven-ways-to-get-more-retweets.

    The Obama Survival Guide by Wayne Allyn Root

    In October, 2013, a record 932,000 people simply stopped looking for work.

    The Labor Force Participation Rate is at its lowest level since the 1970’s.

    The population of the United States has increased by 16 million in the past seven years, but there are 1.1 million less people working.

    More Americans now receive entitlements than work full-time.

    More Americans are on food stamps than the population of Spain or Greece.

    The 46 million Americans now in poverty is twice as large as the population of Syria.

    A new study shows 41 of 50 states have lost private sector jobs under Obama.

    So the greatest Ponzi scheme in world history continues unabated.

    Work 2.0 by Sergiusz Prokurat

    In Work 2.0 we express our individuality as we like, and not according to a set of defined rules.

    Information is a stronger weapon than many conventional arms, knowledge is becoming the main source of competitive advantage.

    One person could bring about a revolution.

    The best capital you could possibly have turns out to be the ability of creative thinking.

    The changes in the world of work don’t just influence job seekers – they will, in fact, become the bread and butter of everyone who creates value in the economy.

    Changes are so profound that we can say we’re entering a new era of work.

    In the long term the only sustainable source of competitive advantage is creativity – the basis for new ideas, launching new products and services, expanding knowledge into hitherto unknown dimensions.
