Social media and GRIT

If you’re a social media addict(which happens to be more addictive than tobacco according to some research), the first thing you do when you go home and jump on your computer is to see what your stats are. You check Twitter / Pinterest / linkedin etc. and see if people messaged you and you might even prioritize this over email sometimes.
But does it really matter if you have ten thousand clicks or one? It should only take one person to tell you that you did an awesome job on that blog post, newsletter or the last 140 characters you sent. Be grateful for the ONE because if it doesn’t cater to the entire world immediately, it tells you that you’re in the right direction.

Don’t be afraid of the person who knows 10,000 tricks but be afraid of the one who practiced the same 1 move 10,000 times. Have GRIT. Great leaders don’t let small hurdles phase them. Success isn't a windfall gain strategy. Everyone wants quick and easy; rarely do they cross each others path.
