The Social Web is the New Wild West for Entrepreneurs

wild-westDon’t fence me in. It’s the anthem for entrepreneurs the world over.

When you hear the song, do you think of the Wild West?

Stars lighting up the sky that goes on forever.

Land stretching on as far as the eye can see.

Freedom from societal expectations.

Opportunity to start a new and better life.

The social web is the new Wild West. The Wild Web is tearing down fences.

Within companies, fences are coming down.

It’s hard to explore new territory in an organization full of people protecting their own turf. So bureaucracies can’t move quickly enough to avoid the many dangers in the Wild Web.

Unless they don’t fence their people in.

Between companies, fences are coming down.

Forget about protecting your borders in the Wild Web. You can’t. Instead, shore up your strengths and work with others who have complementary strengths.

What’s your strength? Let’s talk about it. Send us an e-mail at bigginfo@biggsuccess.com or leave a voice message at 888.455.BIGG (2444).

Entrepreneurs don’t ever want to be fenced in.

So the Wild Web is perfectly suited for them.

Sure, they see the mountains.

Yes, they know they may not survive in this harsh environment.

But they don’t care about the dangers of the Wild Web. They’ll find a way to move forward or they’ll die trying.

Because they know that there’s a new land grab going on. They sense a new opportunity. Web properties are being settled. And they want their piece of virtual land.

Do You Treat Your Customers Like a Lover or a Spouse?

abandoned loveHe stood at the bar, surrounded by people…yet all alone.

Music. Talk. Laughter. A blender. Noise. He was aware of them all but his thoughts were even louder.

Why did she leave me? Why doesn’t she love me anymore?

She used to be his biggest fan. She used to tell him so.

And she never stopped telling others how much she loved him. She said so…on Facebook and Twitter and in real life.

When they first got together, people said they were a perfect match. He looked out for her needs. He took care of her. His passion was visible to everyone.

But over time, he began to take her for granted. He thought she would always stick with him. She would always be a fan.

She would catch him looking at others. At first it was just a glance. But the glances showed more interest as time went by. He didn’t think she noticed; he was wrong.

She also noticed that he didn’t look out for her like he used to. He just didn’t seem to care as much.

The passion was gone. But she wondered if he still loved her.

He seemed more distant. It seemed like he found others more interesting than her.

It used to be just the opposite. No one was like her. He was devoted to her. But now it had come to this.

She couldn’t take it anymore. She left him.

She started buying from his competitor.

His competitor shows the same kind of passion for her that he used to show. She hopes this relationship lasts.

It’s complicated…but if it works out, she’ll talk about him on Facebook and Twitter and everywhere else she can.
