Hey Guy’s and Gal’s, sorry for the delay in posting our next article in the series. Please forgive me, I’ve been a little behind the ball this week.

There are so many leadership speakers, psychologists, spiritual guides, authors, writers and specialists that will guide and help you in finding your passion. It’s a lifelong journey they say and each person consciously or unconsciously is in constant struggle to this journey. Here are some of the popular gurus in the country which you can contact to attend discussions and self-improvement workshops:

Aside from “What Is Your Life’s Work” he had also authored three other books: The Simplicity: The New Competitive Advantage, The Simplicity Survival Handbook, and Work 2.0.

Know What Really Matters and Find Your Passion
- by Timothy Caron

Hey Guy’s and Gal’s, last time in our series on “Finding Your Passion” we spoke about “knowing your self and being confident of the strengths” that you can bring to your job, or in this case your online business. (That’s assuming you have an online business or want to start one.)

In this article I want to talk about the things that matter most to you at work, or in your online business.

What are the things that really matters to you at work? How do you define success at work? Majority of the working people confess to experience a disconnection between having a job and doing what they are really passionate about.

Many of these people are experiencing irregular sleeping habits, stress, and left for years wondering what really matters in their life. Since work is not just an eight-hour interruption of the day and you spend most of waking hours on it, it is important to start finding your passion and incorporate it in your job.

2 Deals may bring revenue for Twitter
-by Timothy Caron

Hey Guy’s and Gal’s, I’ve got some of the latest scoop from the NYTimes that talks about Twitter bringing in revenue through the likes of Microsoft and Google.

In a recent article posted by Claire Cain Miller pubished today from San Francisco she states:

Back-to-back deals on Wednesday to make the company’s steady stream of posts available to Microsoft and Google’s search engines may point to a potential new source of cash. How large, however, is not known. The terms of the deals were not disclosed and Evan Williams, Twitter’s chief executive, said in an interview that revenue was “not the focus of the deals.”

She also stated that Microsoft did not plan to put ads on its Twitter search service for now, and Google said ads might appear at a later date.

You can read the article hear.

It is evident that Twitter has far surpassed the expectations of Microsoft, Google and even some other Social Media websites, and has become a force to be reckoned with.

With the advent of real time search capabilities, how do you think this will effect your over all social media strategies?

Also, do you think this will effect how your optimize your website for the search engines.
I’d love to know your thoughts.

Until next time, have a wonderful day
