Life Lessons ~ From My Facebook Friends!

Everyone knows I love Facebook. After all, I wrote a book about Social Media and I teach a hands-on workshop as well.

My professional career aside, the number one reason I love Facebook is that I love love love my Facebook friends!

I use Facebook mostly to inspire and be inspired. And it sure works!

A few weeks ago, I asked my Facebook friends to share “ONE Life Improvement Tip; ONE lesson that will make someone’s life easier, happier, healthier…better…”  Here go some of the answers:

  1. Listen. Kyle Brogan
  2. Embrace what is. Focus on what’s important. Be in service to others. In that order. 🙂 Jared Christiansen

  4. Don’t try so hard. Nancy Brook
