The Other Dan(ny) Brown

for when blogging's too much and twitter's too little 

Love

Love is fleeting. Love can come and go. Love can be betrayed. Love can be consuming and powerful. Love is everything.

When was the last time you loved your customers? Your clients? Your employees?

Offer them your love. Unconditionally.

You never know how much love you'll get in return, but you may be pleasantly surprised.

Threshold

The best strategies have an exit plan. These are the thresholds that say, “Okay, we tried but it’s not working.”

Can you adapt something that isn’t working? Did you plan for all eventualities? Do you have an exit strategy?

If so, what’s your threshold?

Confidence

Confidence is knowing it's okay to be afraid and working out ways to overcome the fear.

Confidence is knowing that you'll not always make the right decision, and that's okay - as long as you learn and make it better the next time.

Branding

Branding is the public face of decisions you make in private.

Auto-Pilot

Being on auto-pilot is just the same as switching off your senses and letting the machinery take over.

You miss the real things that are happening, the real stories, the real people.

Fine if you're a machine, but as a human being?

Auto-pilot is life's blindfold.

Toolsets

Social media tools are just that - tools to help you for a particular need or project. They’ll come and go, but the people won’t.

Get your interaction and relationship right with the people and the tools will work themselves out.

Experts Television

If I want to watch repeats, I’ll subscribe to some crappy network that just shows re-runs of ABC, CBS and other programming misfits.

But if I want to watch innovation, I’ll subscribe to HBO.

I know who the HBO people are - the rest are just missing out on viewers.

Community Manager

Great community comes from two things:

1. Interaction.

2. More interaction.

It's not all about you - it's about us. We learn from each other and this helps us grow together.

Open up your blog, from comments to guest posts. Just listen on Twitter once in a while; make notes of problems people are having; then either offer them solutions or write a blog post about it for everyone.

Community is made up of two words - communicate and unity. There's a reason for that.
