Backstory

Why am I sharing these quotations? I wrote these quotes as I was finishing up my second book, “Success Using Social Media.”

Each quotation is related to a very specific philosophy behind the use of social media. I strive to practice this philosophy every day when I am using Social Media.

I am sharing these quotations because they are a great value to me in everything I do online and I want to offer the same value to others.

Since you are reading this, I hope that you too can benefit from these quotations.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“Social media are tools for us to talk with anyone we want, anytime we want, and about anything we want.”~ @TLBurriss

Once again, social media are places for having conversations. Sort of like at the park, in a car, at the beach, at the bar, at the kitchen table or in church. Remember, places to have conversations!

“Social media expands our reach into new industries, communities, regions and worlds. It creates opportunities to meet new people we can help and who can help us.” ~ @TLBurrissAnother important task in life is to connect with people who are different than us in lots of different ways. You never know what you ideas you’ll discover or interesting people you’ll meet.

“TRUHE: Transparent, Relevant, Useful, Honest and Engaging, is a fundamental guideline for life and social media.” ~ @TLBurriss

I love this quotation. Think about it for a moment. If everything we do in life, as well as on social media, is TRUHE, we will be trusted and respected even more. That’s the only way to find your niche and grow your brand value.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty.” ~ Zig Ziglar

“Honesty is an important trait in life. It's also a requirement when using social media.” ~ @TLBurriss

Be less than honest in life as well as when using social media, and your network will distrust you. This is #Failure no matter what anyone says.

“It is impossible to work in information technology without also engaging in social engineering.” ~ Jaron Lanier

“Being engaging, educational, entertaining or exciting is a powerful way to build relationships.”~ @TLBurriss

The content you create and share on social media should not be boring. It must be of interest to your network. Engage your audience on subjects that interest you and them. Get real!

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“Success is finding satisfaction in giving a little more than you take.” ~ Christopher Reeves

“Giving is a powerful way to create relationships.”~ @TLBurriss

Giving is a good thing in life. When we lead with GIVE, we create a greater opportunity to create meaningful relationships, even on social media.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy.” ~ Scott Alexander

“When the social media conversation is about dinosaurs, stick to dinosaurs. Try to change the direction of the thread and we will exile you from our conversation.” ~ @TLBurriss

Just like IRL (in real life) conversation, don’t change the subject unless you have permission to do so and don’t censure your audience. This can be considered rude and disrespectful to your network.

Quote #13

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know.” ~ Napolean Bonaparte

“Collaboration does not necessarily mean agreement.” ~ @TLBurriss

It’s okay to disagree with your network when you are collaborating in a conversation. Disagreements are imperative to growth and learning. However, be prepared to respectfully present ‘empirical data’ when you do disagree.

Quote #14

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“I’ve always just tried to treat people with respect, build relationships with players and coaches…build a trust.”~ Chuck Pagano

“A connection does not make a relationship. Relationships occur when you engage with your connections.”~ @ TLBurriss

When you misunderstand this you can #FAIL using social media. Make a connection and nurture it into a relationship before you move to the next step, what ever that is.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“There’s a snake lurking in the grass.” ~ Virgil

“Social media is a great place to connect with people of all types; don't limit our connections to only people who can buy our widgets or are just like us.”~ @TLBurriss

If we only connect with people who will buy our stuff, we’ll be rather lonely. Use social media to grow your network, not just to try to sell your stuff.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”~ Mahatma Gandhi

“Cramming is a vital social media activity used to improve our professional and personal selves. When we ignore the knowledge available to us on social media, we diminish social media’s value.” ~ @TLBurriss

Don’t use social media just to connect and engage. Use social media to learn, study, research, grow, develop and become a better person.

Quote #17

Brought to you by Burriss Consulting, Inc.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”~ Bruce Lee

“When you contribute, collaborate, connect, cram and create on social media, you produce value and opportunities.” ~ @TLBurriss

The real benefits of social media become apparent when you perform all of these actions. You don’t need to do this all at once, just do it when you can.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“The more social media we have, the more we think we’re connecting. Yet we are really disconnecting from each other.” ~ JR

“Networking is finding, developing, and nurturing relationships that mutually move people forward through life.“~ @TLBurriss

This is the core edict of everything I do when using Social Media. There is nothing in this quote related to selling. Selling happens much after your build a mutually beneficial relationship.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“Self-centered leaders manipulate when they move people for personal benefit. Mature leaders motivate by moving people for mutual benefit.” ~ John C. Maxwell

“Networking for Mutual Benefit is a requirement for success.”~ @TLBurriss

I learned a long time ago that if I network any other way, the results are less rewarding. Network for mutual benefit in real life and when using social media!

“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” ~ Henry Ford

“Everything we do on social media must be TRUHE. If not, people will begin to ignore us.”~ @TLBurriss

Failure occurs when we fail to do it correctly. This applies to our activities on social media as well. See Quote # 8 to remind yourself what TRUHE is.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“Live life to the fullest and focus on the positive.” ~ Matt Cameron

“To get the greatest value out of social media, we must execute the 5 Cs of Contribute, Collaborate, Connect, Cram and Create.” ~ @TLBurriss

The 5Cs are focused on your network. Focusing on them is how we create success using Social Media.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“There is no respect for others without humility in one’s self.”~ Henri Frederic Amiel

“We must always have trust, respect, and compassion for our connections. Otherwise, they won't want to have trust, respect and compassion for us.”~ @TLBurriss

When we start by trusting, respecting and caring for our network, they will be more likely to reciprocate. Skip this step and they are less likely to care for us.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either.” ~ Erich Fromm

“If everything we do is all about us, then success is less likely to occur. Make life mutually beneficial and life will be far more rewarding.”~ @TLBurriss

This is just another way of saying, “Don’t be so dang selfish.” Who else told you this, maybe when you were younger?

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.”~ Lao Tau

“Giving is a powerful way to build relationship, whether in real life or through social media.”~ @TLBurriss

I share this multiple times because it’s very important. When we forget this and lean back to wanting, we are more likely to fail using social media.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“Happiness… consists in giving, and in serving others.”~ Henry Drummond

“A connection does not make a relationship. Relationships occur when we help others.”~ @TLBurriss

Another important point said in a slightly different way. Develop meaningful relationships by helping your network. The rewards are much greater.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?”~ Abraham Lincoln

“Never contradict who we are or what we stand for when using social media.”~ @TLBurriss

Be true to yourself and never waffle about who you are or what you stand for. No one’s interested in building a meaningful relationship with someone who is two-faced.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Experience and Experiment without giving up; this is the best way to discover how social media can benefit us and our companies.”~ @TLBurriss

Ask anyone who is successful in life. They’d say it’s all about the practice, the experimenting, the experience. Even hiring a fantastic trainer/coach like me, it won’t work if you are not willing to experience/experiment.

Quotes from the book, Success Using Social Media, by Teddy Burriss

“A connection does not make a relationship. A relationship is needed for rewarding business to occur. Make connections, develop relationship, create business opportunities.”~ @TLBurriss

Yes, I am saying this again. Connections must develop into meaningful relationships in order to create real business opportunities and resonate value. We must work on this!

Not only is there a wealth of valuable information on Social Media, there is also lots of Crap. Figure out what is Crap and what is Valuable. Pay Attention to the stuff that provides value to you.
