Love this from Seth Godin - "Don't check into a motel where it's hard to check out". Of course, he's talking about 'rented' social media channels where you have little control and increasingly are at the whim of algorithms.

P.S. Seth's quote is giving me serious Hotel California vibes!

“Thought leadership always creates tension. It’s about making assertions and you have to be willing to be wrong. You can be certain that people will disagree.” - SETH GODIN

Micro-Acts of PR (MAPRs) are small, consistent actions that build visibility, connection, and trust over time.

e.g.

Give a shout-out to a client, peer or collaborator in a LinkedIn post

→ Elevate others publicly and associate yourself with their credibility.

Authority isn’t built under the bright lights alone. It’s built in the quiet rooms, the overlooked venues, the hidden stages where trust is earned conversation by conversation.

Publishing regularly does matter. But true consistency - the kind that builds lasting professional authority - runs much deeper than hitting the ‘publish’ button on schedule.

Real consistency operates on three levels that most people never stop to consider

Do you want to give up? I know I sometimes do 😬

Run your race.
Make your mark.
Change the game.

It's time to draw a line in the sand, and start standing out for all the right reasons.

Facebook's 2-factor authentication is now three factor (as in two codes sent to different devices).
Geniuses.
Let's put up roadblocks.
Add to the friction.

I feel that Facebook is getting a tad desperate. In recent days, I've been getting a lot of email notifications of friends who are posting stuff. I don't usually. Hey Zuck, people not checking in like you thought they would? Wonder why. Lol.
