The paper money system is going to crumble.”  Travis Wright   Worst investment ever – Joel’s story of loss The big idea 2009 was a good year for Joel. He had a staff of about 38 people running several successful projects. The money was flowing, the business was good. So together with his team, Joel came up with one of the first pieces of technology that would bring email marketing type of delivery to mobile. Think of Constant Contact and AWeber, where you can send bulk emails to people that have subscribed to your list. They came up with technology that would allow you to do that to mobile phones. Blood, sweat, and money Joel put a lot into this project spending somewhere in the low six figures of his money. They did everything they could to promote the system. They showed up at trade shows and demonstrated it, but people didn't respond. He tried to raise venture capital to grow it but didn't get the response that he wanted. He even tried looking for partnerships, but no one was interested. Meanwhile, every month, he was pouring more money into it because once you set up shortcodes with the mobile services, you have to pay monthly to maintain them. Otherwise, you lose them. Hitting a wall Joel realized soon enough that what seemed like an opportunity and a cool idea had hit a wall. He then tried to sell the software that he had invested a lot of money into to somebody who could pick it up and run with it. But that too didn’t happen. So now he was left with a failed project, emotionally bruised, and six figures less. But he still held onto the system. Letting go The failure to successfully launch his system was hanging on him and crushing him. One day in 2013, he saw the bill for what it cost him to keep this thing running and was faced with the challenge of what to do. Does he keep paying for this, hoping he could salvage it and get something out of it and turn it around? Or does he pull the plug and flush the whole thing down the drain? Joel pulled the plug and thought that he would feel these waves of crushing defeat because he had made the worst investment of his life, and that loss had cost him a lot. But he experienced something different. When he pulled the plug, he felt this release like the burden was just instantly lifted. Now he could focus his attention and energy on things that he was far more passionate about. Letting go allowed him to put this failure in the past. Lessons learned Don’t do it just for the money If you're not passionate about something and planning to go all-in, then don’t do it. Money should not be your only motivator. Life is just so much more than how much money we make. It’s also about the people in our lives and the experiences we have and share. Andrew’s takeaways Don’t fall for the sunk cost fallacy Don’t let the sunk cost fallacy make you stay in a bad investment. Once we've invested a lot of money in something, we can be emotionally invested in it. But just because we invested money in it doesn't mean that it was the right thing and that we should hold on to it forever. Let it go You can instantly stop failing by letting go of that investment that is not bringing you any more value. Actionable advice Don’t focus on just the one investment that you have. Look around for other opportunities that might be there. In other words, don’t be laser-focused on your investment just because you need it to work. Be open to other opportunities and possibilities. No. 1 goal for the next 12 months Joel wants to stay open in 2020, live every day, and let the year surprise him. Worst investment ever – Travis’ story of loss Wetting his feet into digital currency In July of 2010, Travis read an article on Slashdot, a big tech publication that talked about this new Bitcoin 0.3 version that had just come into the digital currency space. What fascinated him was that he could find the new Bitcoin on his computer. So he decided to check it out. He mined a block of 50 Bitcoin. Then he went to a website where they were giving away Bitcoin every day and got five Bitcoins, so now he had 55 Bitcoins. Too much for his computer Mining the Bitcoins was causing too much stress on his computer. Eventually, his computer got fried. Fortunately, he was able to log in and get all his important files except his Bitcoin. So he ended up throwing the computer. So now there's a computer somewhere in a dumpster with 55 Bitcoin on it. Lack of knowledge is what cost him At the time, Travis didn’t know anything about cryptocurrency trading. He didn't have anybody who he could talk to about this new fad. Someone who had blockchain and understood Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. He’d jump right into the new fad without doing any research. Had he done his homework first, he’d have known about buying Satoshis and putting them in a crypto wallet instead of on his computer. $1.1 million in the trash In January of 2018, the 55 Bitcoins, that were now in a dumpster somewhere, were worth a whopping $1.1 million! Yep, Travis had literally thrown $1.1 million into the trash bin. His ignorance had cost him $1.1 million. Lessons learned Keep your private keys to yourself When investing in crypto, make sure to store your crypto, not on your computer, but a hard crypto wallet without an internet connection. Keep all that stuff secure and private. That way, nobody can steal your stuff, and you have easy access to them. The market will get crazy When the markets are high, and the crypto prices are really good, sell some of your Bitcoins, take a little bit of the profits off the top and spend it on other investments because the market will sometimes dip. So don't just watch all your investments plummet down to near zero when the markets dip, make money during high markets. Andrew’s takeaways You’ve got to take it to the end Great investments have to work to the end. It's a little bit like playing basketball and you're good at dribbling and you're in the back of the court. But if you can't take it to the hoop to get the point, then all that work is useless. Actionable advice Don't be afraid to use your crypto once in a while. Don't just hold it as an investment. Remember to do your research and your due diligence into it and start to understand the best cryptocurrency, what is blockchain, and why blockchain works. No. 1 goal for the next 12 months Travis is working on a fun platform right now to help podcasters launch, manage, schedule, and organize their podcasts more effectively.

Becoming a social business is a journey, not a destination. Integrating social media, new technologies and methodologies is as much about mindset as it is about the tools and technology. The goal is not to "do social media" but instead to be socially relevant. From a business perspective a goal is to build and implement a social business program that is sustainable and can help nurture relationships for both the short and long term. Obtaining buy-in from needed stakeholders is critical for success.  You must be able to clearly articulate where you are going and why so that you can  inspire key team members to join you on your journey. You must know your audience and what they need from you and be able to serve them up valuable content, conversation and helpful resources daily. Empower your employees to power your brand. Invest in them as human beings. Inspire them to live your brand promise and be a shining light of your brand for your customers and all who they come in contact with. Marketers must quit focusing on quick fixes, cookie cutter solutions and ways to cheat the social system. Instead, effort should be put into planning, goal setting, alignment to business objectives, understanding audiences, building community, nurturing relationships and earning the advocacy of loyal brand supporters. In this episode of the Social Zoom Factor podcast Pam Moore, CEO Marketing Nutz, social media, branding, digital marketing agency provides an 8 step approach to developing a social business strategy and plan. Perfect for enterpreneurs and startups to enterprise organizations.    Episode Highlights - 8 steps to develop a social business strategy and plan -Securing necessary funding -How to prepare for the social business journey -Difference between social media and social business -How to set goals and objectives where social media can have a positive impact -Obtaining support from key stakeholders -Earning trust of loyal brand evangelists -The importance of governance and planning -Why providing value to your audience is core foundation for success -Mitigating and managing risk -Creating a center of excellence -Empowering internal teams to become loyal brand evangelists -Tap into the power of the OPC (Other people's content and community) -Developing an influencer program -Importance of personal branding

In this episode you'll meet Carole Baskin, founder of Big Cat Rescue, a not for profit sanctuary in Tampa, FL housing  more than 100 big cats - lions, tigers, leopards, bob cats and all kinds of exotic cats. Big Cat Rescue is in its 22nd year of operation. It’s not a zoo. It's an operating sanctuary. Visitors who tour the facility see how the cats are cared for on their 70 acreage property. I recorded this podcast on location at Big Cat Rescue, sitting just 10 feet from a beautiful bengal tiger. Big Cat Rescue is a social business. You’ learn how Carole Baskin has experimented with just about every social channel, and settled on those that drive awareness and help to raise the funds they need to operate the sanctuary.  It's horrible to witness big cats living in people’s backyards or in basements. What makes people happy is seeing where their donations go. In the age of social media, people can see how the animals are living in a natural sanctuary just by visiting the website and the Big Cat Rescue YouTube channel.  All of Big Cat Rescue’s online channels are an opportunity to reach people around the world. While you can find Big Cat Rescue on just about any social media platform, their main ones are Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. This episode is sponsored by Content Marketing World.

There are two key mistakes healthcare companies make when adopting social or mobile technologies, explains Andrew Dixon, senior vice president of marketing and operations, Igloo Software. Dixon describes what's driving the aggressive growth of interactive patient care communities and suggests how responsibility for social strategy --- which he defines as both an internal and external communications strategy --- should be assigned. Dixon discussed the key elements of an effective social strategy, along with and best practice guidance from healthcare social strategies having a bottom line impact during a May 1 2013 webinar, "Healthcare Social Business Strategy: Driving Adoption with Social, Mobile and Cloud Technologies," a 45-minute program sponsored by The Healthcare Intelligence Network.
