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:
