Everything you know about social media is wrongChip Hanna
Only young people are on social media. Social media doesn’t work for B2B companies. The fans of my page see everything I post.
Right?
Find out just how wrong you are in a talk by local social media thought leaders Ryan Cormier (@RyanJCormier) and Chip Hanna (@chiphanna) . They’ll discuss the business of social media – from turning your customers into a community, to turning your community into customers.
Ryan Cormier is an interactive specialist at GCG Marketing and Ratio Digital Media. He’s Google AdWords certified, and is on the Steering Committee for Vision Fort Worth.
Chip Hanna is an interactive account director at the Balcom Agency. He holds several patents for his innovations in web development, and is the digital media chair for Fort Worth PRSA.

19 ways non-profits can use social media to connect with donorsTim Bete
The document provides 19 ways for non-profits to use social media to connect with donors even with limited time and budget. It addresses the four main reasons non-profits do not use social media: not knowing how to use the technology, not knowing what content to create, not having time, and not having money. For each reason, several tips are provided, such as learning from online tutorials, creating short video stories and thank you messages, using tools to automate posting and scheduling, and taking advantage of free or low-cost social media services. The document emphasizes that social media is essential for connecting with donors and that the barriers of knowledge, content creation, time, and cost can all be overcome.
The document discusses social selling and using social media in sales. It defines social selling as salespeople using social media like LinkedIn to interact with prospects, provide value through content, and build relationships until prospects are ready to buy. The four pillars of social selling are creating a professional brand, focusing on the right prospects, engaging with insights, and building trusted relationships. Successful social selling involves sharing knowledge and interesting content rather than self-promotion to gain attention. Content should have certain factors like being positive or providing value to increase the likelihood of being shared. Salespeople are expected to check company social media regularly and share relevant, engaging content.
This document provides guidance for multicultural marketers on engaging with audiences on social media in real-time. It discusses the importance of social listening to understand audience segments, and then selectively engaging through publishing content and comments. The key is to empower positive influencers while addressing criticisms and shifting negative conversations in a positive direction. Having cross-functional teams allows for real-time, on-brand responses that comply with regulations.

How to build a perfect business plan with innovaticsBrent Spilkin
The document provides guidance on developing an effective business plan. It explains that a business plan focuses thinking, communicates vision, and provides evidence of financial viability.

A sample business plan table of contents and sections are then provided as a template to develop the key elements of a successful plan.

The Netflix Culture document. A template for Culture in your company.Brent Spilkin
Sheryl Sandberg has called it one of the most important documents ever to come out of Silicon Valley. It’s been viewed more than 5 million times on the web. But when Reed Hastings and I (along with some colleagues) wrote a PowerPoint deck explaining how we shaped the culture and motivated performance at Netflix, where Hastings is CEO and I was chief talent officer from 1998 to 2012, we had no idea it would go viral. We realized that some of the talent management ideas we’d pioneered, such as the concept that workers should be allowed to take whatever vacation time they feel is appropriate, had been seen as a little crazy (at least until other companies started adopting them). But we were surprised that an unadorned set of 127 slides—no music, no animation—would become so influential.

Peka Kucha presentation on Networking and the Value of your Network | April 2015Brent Spilkin
This document promotes the benefits of aligning with influencers to grow one's network and make money. It claims that influencers bring not only their audience but also their audience's network due to the viral nature of social media as described by Metcalfe's Law. A key message is that influencers can drive real action and influence through their connections if one spends time with the right people who will help you succeed financially and professionally.
Everything you need to know about Exit InterviewsBrent Spilkin
The document discusses the value of exit interviews from an entrepreneur's perspective. It notes that exit interviews, when conducted respectfully and non-confrontationally, can provide valuable insights about what is going well and areas for improvement at a company by eliciting candid feedback from departing employees. The entrepreneur advocates that CEOs conduct exit interviews themselves with all exiting staff until the company grows too large, at which point senior leadership should take over the responsibility.

Porters Five forces - a simple explanation
Porter five forces analysis is a framework to analyse level of competition within an industry and business strategy development.
It draws upon industrial organisation (IO) economics to derive five forces that determine the competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a market
The document discusses key concepts in marketing such as identifying customer needs, developing products to meet those needs, and promoting and distributing products effectively. It emphasizes that successful marketing requires understanding customers and focusing on their needs and satisfaction rather than the organization's own interests. The top five rules of marketing highlighted are that marketing should always be customer-centric rather than self-focused. Standard marketing strategies like the four P's of marketing and ways for organizations to grow their market share are also outlined.

65. Metcalfe's law states
that the value of a
telecommunications
Network is proportional to
the square of the number of
connected users of the system (n2).
66. A powerful global conversation has begun.
Through the Internet,
people are discovering and inventing
new ways to share relevant knowledge
with blinding speed.
As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—
and getting smarter faster than most companies.
These markets are conversations.
Their members communicate in language that is natural,
open, honest, direct, funny and often shocking.
Whether explaining or complaining, joking or serious,
the human voice is unmistakably genuine.
It can't be faked.

68. I don't fully understand why I'm growing so fast but it
definitely has something to do with the group of
YouTubers I have associated myself with.
We are always interacting and collaborating with one another,
this means that if someone finds one of us
they will probably find all of us.
If you want to do well on YouTube you have to make friends
with other YouTubers on your level and support one another.
You must work as a team and appear in one another's videos.
Even if you do this over the internet, just make it happen.
No matter how good your content is,
unless you are extremely lucky,
nobody will see it without a lot of hard work promoting yourself,
so why not promote others and get them to promote you.
82. “You must have passion and the
determination to immerse
yourself in the process of creating
new and different ideas.
Then you must have patience to
persevere against all adversity.”

It is NOT a noun. You cant be A creative.
You can be an artist.
You CAN be creative.
You can produce creative work.
The only difference between people who are creative and people who are not is a simple belief.
Creative people believe they are creative
Thomas Edison created 3000 different ideas for lighting systems before he evaluated them for practicality and profitability.
Wolfgang Mozart produced more than 600 pieces of music, including 41 symphonies and some 40-odd operas and masses, during his short creative life.
Rembrandt produced around 650 paintings and 2,000 drawings and Picasso executed more than 20,000 works.
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. Some were masterpieces, while others were no better than his contemporaries could have written, and some were simply bad
Execution of ideas is everything. Ideas are dreams without execution and funding.
Smart entrepreneurs dont just pitch an idea, they pitch a great business plan, a great team, a great market opportunity, AND a great idea.
YOU ARE IDEAS ARE WORTHLESS UNLESS THEY ARE SHARED AND IMPLEMNTED
DONT BE AFRAID OF SHARING IP (INTELECTUAL PROPERTY) – NO ONE CARES.
Instagram was sold for $1B It had 11 staff at the time of the sale.
(whatsapp was sold for $19B) Whatsapp had 55 STAFF
IG was originally a check-in app (Burbn) that evolved to become a photo app because it filled a need in that category more effectively than existing applications
BUILDING A BUSINESS AND SELLING IT LIKE THIS This is not realistic.
Neither is facebook, or Google or Apple.
These businesses were founded on a creative idea that was not executed correctly the 1st or even 10th time but was an iterative business that evolved and grew.
Very few businesses end up creating billions of dollars of value based on the initial idea –
superstars such as Starbucks, Apple, and Microsoft changed their business models many times before settling on a scalable solution.
Bill gates and Paul Allen
Who?
$17b dollars Net worth = R272 B
He is the business brain behind Bill gate’s vision. He was the one who signed the DOS agreement
Apple – steve jobs + steve wozniak
Google – larry and sergey
Nike – Phil knight and bill bowerman
Each team had a creative thinker and a business man/ accountant/salesman.
A business is like a baby.
Its hard no matter what I tell you.
Its hard
It will keep you up at night,
It will shit on you and vomit on you and wont give you any joy
It will cost you money. You will spend money on things you never knew you needed.
but as it grows up and becomes a child you love it more and more
And it starts giving you pleasure and a return on your investment – time.
Lifecycle
Business are born and they will die
They go from romance and courtship – the idea
To an infancy – go go – adolescence – prime
To stable – aristocracy - early and late bureaucracy and then death.
ACNE. Example
The important question is: Are we dealing with the right problems at the right times?
The more expert and specialized a person becomes, the more their mindset becomes narrowed and the more fixated they become on confirming what they believe to be absolute.
Consequently, when confronted with new and different ideas, their focus will be on conformity.
Does it conform with what I know is right? If not, experts will spend all their time showing and explaining why it can't be done and why it can't work. They will not look for ways to make it work or get it done because this might demonstrate that what they regarded as absolute is not absolute at all.
INNOVATE and disrupt
Don't allow yourself to get discouraged.
Albert Einstein was expelled from school because his attitude had a negative effect on serious students; he failed his university entrance exam and had to attend a trade school for one year before finally being admitted; and was the only one in his graduating class who did not get a teaching position because no professor would recommend him. One professor said Einstein was "the laziest dog" the university ever had.
Beethoven's parents were told he was too stupid to be a music composer.
Charles Darwin's colleagues called him a fool and what he was doing "fool's experiments" when he worked on his theory of evolution.
Walt Disney was fired from his first job on a newspaper because "he lacked imagination."
Thomas Edison had only two years of formal schooling, was totally deaf in one ear and was hard of hearing in the other, was fired from his first job as a newsboy and later fired from his job as a telegrapher; and still he became the most famous inventor in the history of the U.S
There is no such thing as failure.
Failure is not an option.
Whenever you try to do something and do not succeed, you do not fail.
You have learned something that does not work.
Always ask "What have I learned about what doesn't work?",
"Can this explain something that I didn't set out to explain?", and
"What have I discovered that I didn't set out to discover?"
Whenever someone tells you that they have never made a mistake, you are talking to someone who has never tried anything new
Ownership is everything
The first thing you should know about business is “skills can be hired”
Never give away or sell shares in the early stages of your business when you can hire someone to hold your hand through the parts of the business you aren’t sure about.
Find people that are better than you at everything you do in the business besides being the best owner.
When Partnerships work, which is very rarely, they are a thing of beauty. There is someone who believes what you believe, feels your pain and is there to open and close the front door with you daily, BUT ask any partner if they could have done without the other partner knowing what they know now and having the beauty of hindsight and the majority would be happy to have gone it alone.
Separate ownership / shareholding from employment
You get paid for what you do.
If you start a business and expect to earn “market related salaries” then you will fail.
Both roles in your business – look at them from different angles and perspective.
HOPE IS NOT A SALES STRATEGY
The single biggest problem your business has is a sales problem.
No matter how shitty or amazing your product or service is you could be selling more and at a higher price.
Sales don’t just happen. Don’t fool your self. The best businesses out there had a sales plan and then executed on it.
If you think that having the worlds best solution to something will just bring in business, then give up now.
