DOING MORE OF WHAT YOU ARE GREAT AT

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

There’s a key difference between the successful and unsuccessful. The successful focus the majority of their day at what they are great at, and surround themselves with people who can do the rest just as well. Start with what you are great at to schedule your day, and soon your results will be just as great.

Facebook won’t let me be Leo Laporte’s friend

The Obvious?

At risk of invoking memories of playground rejection by wading in to the sensitive topic of whose a friend of who, I thought this was an interesting story worth telling.

I saw from Facebook that two people I know, Robert Scoble and Jeff Jarvis, had friended Leo Laporte and went to try to add him as a friend as well. I got the following error message:

Now this is interesting as although I haven’t met Leo personally we do exchange the odd email and are “friends” on most of the other social media sites. It is totally possible that Leo wants to limit the number of people he friends as he re-enters Facebook but this block appears to have pre-empted any message to Leo. There may be some setting in Facebook that lets him pre-set who gets to send friend requests that I don’t know of.

Wondering why this error message might have been triggered I looked at the suggested help file I got the following advice:

If you have been prevented you from adding friends on Facebook, it is likely because many recent friend requests sent from your account have gone unanswered. This may be because you’ve asked strangers to be friends or because you’ve engaged in other behavior that Facebook users have reported as unwelcome. When you are allowed to use this feature again, only send friend requests to people that you already know to avoid having additional limits placed on your account.

This seems hard to understand as I can’t remember the last time I tried to add a friend in Facebook as it is so long ago and I only ever do it to people I do know in some way I can’t imagine too many people blocking me. In fact I thought of seeing if the block applied to others apart from Leo but could’t bring myself to do it as I have already friended everyone I can think of in Facebook and didn’t want to be seen to adding someone I don’t know!

 

Clearly Facebook knows something I don’t!

CHALLENGE THE IDEAS, NOT THE PEOPLE

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

We won’t always agree with others, and far too often we make a strong link with between what we disagree with and the person. Observe successful leaders and you may see them challenge the ideas of their people, but never the person themselves. This is not the time to make it personal.

IT MATTERS WHAT THEY FEEL

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

In order to influence others, it not only matters what they are thinking, but also what they are feeling. Capture their thoughts and they understand what you are saying. Capture their feelings and they will go beyond understanding to taking some action, as our feelings are often what powers our action.

LIVE IT BEFORE TALKING ABOUT IT

Mark’s Daily Thought – Ideas from Mark Fritz to help you Get Ahead, Stay Ahead and Be Successful

There are two types of leaders, those who live it before talking and those who talk it before living it. Successful leaders are those who are living what they talk about. By going first themselves, they are role modeling the behaviours they would like to see in their people.
