Last Thursday I had my Twitter For Small Business webinar and an 75 minutes before the webinar GotoWebinar’s entire website and system goes down.

I sent them a tweet and never heard back. I’m not very happy about that. They are just ignoring that they had a major issue.

So I moved it back to a teleclass and sent out emails updating everyone. Then five minutes before GotoWebinar comes back online. Some people missed my email and went to GotoWebinar and some to the teleclass. It was a little confusing.

We recorded it. You can relisten to it.

But Jack & I wanted to really do it properly. We worked on a bunch of visuals and wanted to show  some websites. So we rescheduled. We are having it again on Thursday at 9:30pm EST.

You can register for it and we look forward to having fun again.

I also learned that I’m not a big fan of bit.ly. I used it for the first time on Thursday. And when GotoWebinar went down the link I marketed with on bit.ly pointed to GotoWebinar and I couldn’t change where it points to on bit.ly. So I’m back to using snipurl.com which does allow you to change the destination. Yeah snipurl.com, I don’t why I left you in the first place, but I’m glad I’m back.

I spoke at Product Camp here in Austin on Saturday.  If you follow me on Twitter (@EagleChris) you saw that I streamed video during some of it. Wifi was very busy with 400+ people tweeting and blogging so at times it didn’t work for me.

I gave a presentation of Twitter For Small Business.  The biggest question was why small businesses should even use twitter. Many feel it’s a big waste of time.

I spend about 30 minutes a day on Twitter.  I use it as a one front end to my marketing funnel.  I don’t make any money directly with Twitter and I don’t know anybody that does. It’s a front end to get people to know you. They then get on a call or webinar you are doing. Or your blog RSS or newletter.  They get to know you more and some of them with buy a product from you.  Twitter is just a create front end and I choose to invest some everyday on it because of the phenomenal growth in social media.  I also enjoy social media. To me it’s a cocktail party where I get to meet a lot of interesting people. Some will get to know me better and some of them will buy my products, but my attitude is to have fun and give out interesting information.  I summed up my social media philosophy at TwitterForSmallBusiness.com in a free report.

The presentation by Jonas Lamis on how he uses Google Adwords to test a business idea was received well. I’m been doing this technique for years and you do really learn quick whether your idea has a market very fast, like a day. Jonas make a great point that this is good for discovery but it’s enough for deep analysis. And nothing happens until you start selling something. That is the real proof.

At another session I learned why link building is still a lot of work.  Check out hubspot.com and buzzstream.com.  I just ran the website grader from hubspot.com on this website and got a great score of 97.9 out of 100. I’m very happy with that.

I’ll be back at the next Product Camp.  Check your local area if they have a product camp near you. It’s great to have a group come together and brainstorm together.

Maybe you have thought that.  I know I did.

I thought when I started doing my own thing that I just had to work harder in order to be successful.  It took a while but I learned that is the best way to be unsuccessful by working hard.  When you work hard you aren’t thinking about your business, you are doing your business.  And when you are doing your business you are missing out on opportunities galore.

If you want be rich you need to get that.  Think outside the box.  Great accomplishments start inside yourself.

If you are trying to make money you will not succeed.  Go out there and make money.  Make decisions that a successful entrepreneur would make.  Don’t try.  Do.

Pretend you are Richard Branson when making decisions.  “If I was Richard Branson what would I do in this situation.”  I love doing this.

I know when I worked hard I couldn’t think about my business.  I couldn’t think about how to market, improve business or tweak the bottom line.  Now I take time to relax.  Do something creative and non work related every week and enjoy life.  I notice I get better ideas when I do this.

Not everyone is built to be an entrepreneur.  That’s okay.  But if you really want to be one you must master your attitude about business.  Work smart and not hard.
