Old School Versus New School – Part II

by Ashley Bolivar on July 9, 2009


Alright, in my last post we started to talk about old school versus new school and how social media is playing a large role at dividing the gap so let’s get right back to it.

Society today is not anywhere near what it use to be. Look at so called job security. Maybe when past generations had started to work for a company decades ago, they would work for the same company until retirement and their retirement would be set.

Now, a person is fortunate to even be offered an employer sponsored health care plan. Long gone are the days where a person works for the same company until they retire. It’s more common place for a person to work at four or five companies in their entire life before they hang it up.

On top of that, you had better be up to date on the most current technologies and online applications in order to stand a fighting chance at beating out the young, eager college kid that is willing to work at half your pay.

You don’t have to look too far to see how many news stations, late night shows or even prime time shows are embracing social media in order to widen their audience reach.

If you still have doubts, just turn on CNN (Constant Negative News) at least that’s what it should stand for. If you don’t know by now I HATE the news, but I will save that for another rant. Anyway, you will see that they are always asking you to send them your comments on Twitter or Facebook.

Gee you think they may be on to something?

I have never been a 9-5 type of person who puts his fate in some companies hand who could at a moments notice close their doors or terminate my employment simply because the choose to dissolve my position.

I will always be the kind that likes to blaze my own trail by following the steps of successful people in my industry. That is why some of the most successful Internet marketers are my personal friends, coaches and mentors.

Here are three quick steps to fighting of your dream killers.

  1. Find yourself someone who is successful in what you want to create online and follow their teaching. Let them mentor you. This is critical so you can shorten up the learning curve.
  2. As hard as it may be, disregard those nay sayers and dream killers. Especially if they have no idea of the subject you are interested in. Everyone likes to give you their two cents even when you never asked for it. They will come in all forms, friends, family and foes.
  3. Attack your daily plan to push your business forward every single day. Find at least one thing you can do to take action on towards your goals every single day. I recommend at least three tasks each day to find the greatest level of success.

Just remember one thing, this is your life and no one will ever hand you your dreams on  a silver platter. Go out and create the life that you deserve.
