    The real power of social media is not in marketing, or chatbots, or online groups. It’s not in SEO or conversions.

    Those are all important for a successful online business, mind you - but they are NOT the real power of social media. Social media was meant to be SOCIAL (duh) - that means you should be working to build REAL RELATIONSHIPS with REAL PEOPLE out there in the REAL world.

    The technology of social media is the tool (like a telephone) that you use to do that.

    It’s an unprecedented opportunity we have these days. I have business associates who live in the Ukraine, clients who live in England, and others I truly “know” as a friend who travel the globe.

    I carry on regular conversations with them about significant things.

    And it all happens through the power of social media.

    This episode is a bit different (and shorter) but I think the message is truly powerful. It’s a concept that will serve you well if you work diligently to apply it well. Making friends - true friends - through the technology we call social media, is one of the most reliable, effective ways to position yourself for personal and business success.

    That’s because social media gives you the opportunity to truly be of benefit to others out there in the interwebs. You get to help them. Really help them.

    And did you know that when you help someone, they instinctively trust you more than they did before you helped them? Do you see where I’m going with this? Trust. Trust.

    Trust is the foundation of all healthy human interactions - even in business.  Especially in business.

    Do you have online friends who are eager to see you succeed? If not, it’s probably because you haven’t taken the time to be of value to them. You haven’t worked to be a blessing, long-distance and digital as it may be.

    But you can - that’s the beauty of this thing. You CAN be a blessing through the resources you share, the people you introduce your people to, the advice you give, and much more. You’ve just got to look beyond the stupid cat videos and trite memes to see the opportunity.

    OK, the rant’s over (for now). But you can hear more on this episode of the podcast.

    I hope you do.

    You may or may not have heard much about “positive affirmations” yet - but you will. It’s a fad that’s going around personal development and entrepreneur circles these days and it’s really nothing new.

    What are positive affirmations? It’s the practice of saying something you want to be true of yourself, to yourself. Over and over and over.

    The idea is to convince your psyche that those statements are really true of you. I can see how it helps when the things you’re saying to yourself really are true but you’re just having a hard time believing them (and there are many reasons that could be the case).

    But...

    If your positive affirmations are not based in reality - you’re next door to crazy.

    I’ve been pondering this topic for a long time and finally felt it was time to record something, to bring you in on the thoughts I’ve been having.

    Because if you’re going to build a business, online especially, you’re going to hear this topic mentioned over and over. And as a Christ-follower, you need to know what is true about it or you might get sucked into some pretty damaging stuff.

    So, this is the episode where I unload about positive affirmations

    • What are they?
    • How are they typically used?
    • What’s concerning about how they are used?
    • Why they don’t really work and what’s happening when it appears they do?
    • What you should do instead?
    • And a few other things I threw in for free. ;)
    Main Points About This Episode on Positive Affirmations
    • [0:43] Why I’m concerned about positive affirmations.
    • [2:00] The typical purpose of modern affirmations - the good and the bad.
    • [4:44] Why affirmations appear to work in some cases (and what’s really happening).
    • [6:17] The responsibility of Christ-followers in light of the practice of affirmations.
    • [8:14] The role of faith and the scriptures in building your own beliefs.
    • [11:20] Why pragmatism isn’t the way forward for believers in Christ.
    • [14:55] How to use the “promises” of scripture to set your believing mindset.
