It doesn’t matter whether you’re running a marathon or running a business – momentum is key. Here are a few tips on how to build and maintain momentum: 1.

It’s important to set small, realistic goals at first. 2. Don’t wait for this free time to magically “open up.” 3. 4. Don’t hold back.
Implicadas No Desenvolvemento Girl Effect sbdc | changing the world, one pixel at a time RT @JeromePineau: Autodesk’s Jerome Pineau: Why Great Service Is Social | Yay #socialservice! :) As Autodesk‘s social media strategist, Jerome Pineau is no stranger to the inner workings of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and the like — he leads the 3D design software maker’s efforts on all social channels. But why is social media so critical to the success of Autodesk and its service department? We spoke with Pineau about the use cases, benefits and future of social media in relation to service organizations. Why would a service firm want to turn to social media? Isn’t it all just a big distraction from what’s actually important? It depends how you define what’s actually “important.” What benefits does social media offer a service organization? Does it make sense for any business, small or large, to employ social channels for customer service? How is Autodesk using social channels to connect, engage with and respond to customers? Any tips or best practices for service folks thinking about, or just starting to use, social media for their business?
GreaterGood.org Unlock Your Front Door Geek-Style This has to be the geekiest thing I’ve ever written about. I’m a geek by any standard, but even this is a bit over the edge for me. But, the geek in me thinks it is so uber-cool that I can’t resist writing about it. Get ready to meet the gadget that will trump all other gadgets. Steve Hoefer is just a regular guy who built something cool with some spare parts he found in his lab. What’s all the fuss about? How does it work? I would have loved one of these for my play house in the backyard when I was six. Of course, the downfall to having a lock system like this is that if you live in an apartment building, your nosey neighbors could memorize the knock pattern. I’ve read where some people have suggested using a timestamp or a series of one time knocks to get around this, but I know, to ponder that is to jump off the deep end of geekness. As a woman, I cannot close this post without saying that this device is a bit ugly.
