Using The Social Web To Enrich Your Life

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A7ZkglBb2Y]
My video message above is a testament to the power of the social web. When I started blogging at the Intrepid Runner about my half-marathon training, I never knew that it would lead to so many new enriching personal friendships.

The process has indeed opened my eyes. I mean, yes, I knew that using social media was a powerful way to build relationships, but I was never prepared for how this small blog about marathon training was going to expose me to so many new people, and increase the size of my social network.

And meeting and interacting with Kat Cole is just one example (You can see a video about her guest appearance on High Velocity RIGHT HERE). Yes, she ultimately accepted an invitation to participate on High Velocity Radio as a result of she and I connecting on Twitter. But what is more important to understand is that our friendship will extend far beyond today’s guest appearance.

As I said on the video, using the social web to talk about and share passions of yours will connect you to new people, but only if you are willing to engage. Making the effort to journal and chronicle about your passions will also result in strengthening your personal brand, creating deeper personal relationships, marketing you and your business, and yes, enriching your life.
