Where is your PMA ?

I know that in order to get your business in the right direction you need to have a PMA .This is so important to succeed in business. There are many reasons why a business fails but this by far is the most important.


What is a PMA ?It is Positive Mental Attitude. If you are a negative person,are around negative people or think negatively ,you better leave it at the door of your office. There is no room for negativity.You will not get anywhere.

You need to approach your business with the "I will succeed "attitude. You must believe in yourself. You must have a vision, a plan and a purpose. There is no time for pity parties just good old fashion positive thinking and imaging. You can be you own worst friend or you own best business partner.

Twitter my favorite tweet

Twitter has grown so since 2006. I am surprized how many people tweet. A Pew Internet & American Life Project survey shows that 11% of online adults. This awesome 140 microblogging tool can be awesome to your business.

I have just started using tweetdeck This is a fantastic tool. You would be amazed how this will mnake you life so much easier.You get to see a three deck black site that eluminates when a tweet comes across. You get instant tweets. A must have tool.

The next think you need do is make sure you microblog 140 characters. Make sure you shrink your URL'S to make them fit in your 140 characters.You can use tr.im to help you shrink them.You need to remember that you are there to help people not collect numbers. You need to remember people or should I say tweeple want to be heard and communicating with no collected as stats.

I am enjoying using twallo a tool to find twitterers who are like minded tweeple . You can get up to 500 followers but not recommended.

Dont forget to go to ping to spread the word around. You can send your tweet information to myspace ,facebook and other applications .

Twitter is not a kid's game

Twitter is a great place to meet new and fascinating people. It was created in 2006 by Jack Dorsey,Evan William and Biz Stone.


This has become one of the most talked about free social networking and microblogging services that allows you to send and read other user's updates also know as tweets. The text is made up of 140 characters in length. You would be very surpized at all the people associated with twitter.

The media and prominent users can be found on twitter as well as everyday users. No one is exempt from using this wonderful venue to communicate with people and share ideas all over the world.

In reference to you business, this is a terrific place to build relationships. The one thing you do not want to do is appear to be a saleperson. You can express what you are doing in you life in a tactful way without appearing to be selling your merchandise.

So go ahead tweet away and let the world know who you are and what you are doing.
