[...] The second was Julien Smith’s session on Whatever. Julien is a consultant, speaker and author (he co-authored the book Trust Agents with Chris Brogan). He began his session by asking “Why are you here?” and gave the audience three options: you (meaning you’re there for your own motivations – to learn and grow as an individual); them (you’re there 100% for the community – to support them and learn from them); and the game (you understand the power of a network and are there to expand yours and make connections). At first everyone had to choose one of the three options, both with eyes open and eyes closed – when everyone had their eyes closed Julien noted that most people raised their hand for the game, but with their eyes open the majority chose them. This was an interesting exercise because it highlighted the different motivations people have for being involved in social media. We think it’s usually a mix of all three – you’re involved to grow as a person, to support the community, and to further your business and grow your network. As an entrepreneur you have to bo concerned with all three – you need both personal growth, a supportive community and a strong network to succeed. Blogger Dave Fleet wrote a great post about this session – read it here. [...]

I really relate to your drive toward constant self improvement. I agree, I am not selfish in this process of continued learning but rather feel more empowered and self-proud when I have helped someone else.
Social media is new to me. Sure, I’ve Facebooked but never got into it for a long period of time. I really this as an opportunity where as I give and share important issues and thoughts that others will share back. My job is to assist Realtors grow their business via their MLS. I feel I succeed when I see them learn something new about social media. It’s a two way street.

I would have to say that I started with the intentions of it being for others. However, as I create my content, I found the release to be very therapeutic for me. Although I have considered the idea, I have yet to transition into purpose #3.
