I was digging through an old social networking blog I briefly wrote, and found this old post that I think I should probably re-read and embrace.
I found a great, brief article in my feeds today on how to be successful.
- Be remarkable
- Be visible
- Be sustainable
Okay, I’ve got the first one in droves (if I choose to believe what everybody tells me. Given that I’ve been told that by completely unconnected people who’ve known me for as few as a couple of days or as long as many years, I’m thinking I probably ought to just shut up and listen to them.)
I’m working on number two, and I think it’s actually taking hold slowly. It’s very terrifying, but at the same time it’s exciting. I’m really trying to make myself accessible and approachable, focusing mainly on my online life because I seem to be naturally accessible and approachable offline.
Number three…that’s the tricky one. For starters, he never actually defines what “sustainable” means in this context. How does one make oneself sustainable, and how does that connect to personal success? Even consulting a dictionary to make sure I’m right about what that word means isn’t helping.
Based on this, I’m roughly halfway to being successful. I guess I really should be making sure my ducks are in a row for when I accidentally stumble into success.
