I’ve never read Brazen Careerist, but I agree that people shouldn’t be posting negative content with unabandon. I did a vlog a few weeks ago giving my opinion that social media is OUR space and it should be based around respect. It’s unfortunate that people are looking up to somebody who doesn’t encourage a space of respect.
I will have to disagree with your thoughts on the marketplace. The marketplace has changed heavily. Look at the jobs that are opening up, they’re not physical positions, but positions based on knowledge work. In the past one might’ve been able to get a job based on how many pounds of coal they could haul in a work day, but the climate has shifted. I recognize your argument that success isn’t built overnight, but I think you’re generalizing an entire demographic. The fact is that the barrier of entry is lower due to social media. Through social media I have friends beating out people with more experience for jobs simply because their quality shines. I wouldn’t say it’s about demographics at all, but a shift towards quality. There are great marketers who are 50+ with better ideas due to their experience and at the same time there are 25 year old marketers who have great insight and aptitude than someone who’s been marketing for 15 years longer. As for authority and beliefs, I don’t claim to know everything and it’s the choice of others to read or reject my content. I think that’s what is so cool about social media, there’s no “right” way. I fully expect my beliefs to change as I gain more experience, but it’s my desire to grow. Nobody can really control or completely “know” social media because it’s user-content based. Social media is evolving at such a fast rate it’s a struggle to even keep up with all the new mediums popping up!
I agree with you it’s important to stay true to your personal DNA, remain respectful, and be transparent. Gary Vaynerchuk gives a formula to success that hasn’t changed. Keep pumping out quality sh*t and hustle.
Your comment is dead on, Howard. Thanks for adding it.
