I saw one of my friends on FB catch several “old timers” today. One of the latest tactics used to push MLM products is to ask all your friends an interactive question on social media platforms.
“What would you rather do in 30 days? Lose 20 pounds or grow your hair and nails?” (Either answer and you’re a perfect product fit.) “My friend adopted a dog at the pound and she needs help naming it. What names do you like?” (Answer anything — even ‘what kind of dog is it?’ and you’re on the list.)
I’ll “like” photos of your friend’s adopted dog if you share that, but I know you don’t care what I think the dog should be named. Neither does your friend.
I’ll just scroll on by. 🙂
My favorite brother caught a flight this morning headed to Hawaii.
Not for a speech, but he says it’s for business. He needs a quiet place to write and plan and strategize. He went alone but that still doesn’t get me 100% behind the work retreat idea. It might’ve worked, but it’s really cold here and I have to keep all the balls in the air.
It’s a 5-hour time difference from him to me. I make decisions without his input all the time, but if clients/potential clients request a direct call, there’s not a very big window of opportunity to schedule.
Next month, he’s blocked 4-days in Scottsdale with friends. That’s business too, of course. Won’t be long before he tells me he needs a vacation because he’s not had one in years. 🙄
Do you need to go to Hawaii to do your work?
Don’t answer that! If you do, I might just have to put you on some list.
