“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt



Naysayers will always try to pull you down. The way you succeed is consistent persistence. --Eric Standlee http://amplify.com/u/a1d2vr

Secrets To Success After a BIG InHouston Uptown Mixer

Have you been doing all 5 of these? Consider starting today and keeping notes in a journal about what you do and how that improves your networking results. Then, also consider sharing that with your networking friends on theinhouston.com in your own blog. Send me the link to what you write and I'll feature it to the whole group.

I added our new company to my profile

Shale Placement is the addition.

Do you know any hard to fill Oil and Gas positions that need filling?


Your value is only as valuable as your network and your ability to connect them to each other.

If I go to a monthly networking lunch with you for a year an all you ever bring to the group is the same 100 people you know because you never meet anyone new, then your value to me is greatly diminished.

On the other hand, if you are constantly adding 5-20 new connections each and every day and have a system in place to sift those and meet some for coffee, then I know that in a year's time you'll be even more valuable to me.

If you are hunting for a job from behind that computer you're reading this from, then you aren't out networking and meeting new people.

But, MORE IMPORTANTLY if you aren't meeting new people you limit the number of people you can help. Just because I meet you doesn't mean I want to do business with you nor does it mean I like you. We have to have a 1 hour 1on1 over coffee first. I have to get to know you...

So, Connect with more every day.

Perspective from an entrepreneur and business owner and funding source.



Labor day was created as a holiday to placate labor unions. Even so, I hope you are enjoying it.



Since it is a bank holiday, most funding of any kind wont happen today unless an entrepreneur uses a credit card.



As a funding source, this means that our offices are closed as well.



However, as an entrepreneur, I am heading to be on a radio show about entrepreneurship and how they can survive this down economy.



So, while most are sleeping in for the first Monday since Memorial Day, I am sacrificing that sleep and heading into my friend's radio show to be his guest.



My perspective: do whatever it takes to help as many B2B companies get the funding they need to keep more employees and grow their companies.

Dear Friend,



I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData (youdata.com). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid for giving them my attention. I can use the funds to buy music and video online, donate to charities, give to my favorite blogs and websites, or keep the change myself and do whatever I want with it.



It's real. They pay. You should check it out.



Click this link to sign up. My MeFile ID, ericstandlee, in the "Referral Code" will tell them I sent you.

"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised."

Hebrews 10:36



This scripture is powerful to all aspects of our lives, but especially so for our businesses.



Perseverance implies endurance. To endure in a race is to consistently place one foot in front of the other.



How does that apply to you? Think about what you are supposed to do. Write them out into steps. Do each step as unto Christ. You are planting a seed in the lives of each person around you as they watch you consistently and persistently striving forward for the promise that God has given you.



What is that promise? Deuteronomy 28's blessings are present tense and a good place to start.



Do you think that God has forgotten how to help you? No, He will do what he promised. He is faithful.



Every day is a new day. No matter what you did or didn't do yesterday, TODAY is new and God is right there helping you so that you are not disgraced.



Blessings,

Eric Standlee http://amplify.com/u/a13vmx

Google Docs Automation

Do you ever need to mailmerge data captured by a google docs spreadsheet?

You don't want to download that spreadsheet, import it, setup a mail merge doc and merge, right?

You just want to open the merge doc, and merge with the data from the google docs spreadsheet.



This let's that work seamlessly.

Lady Gaga has given, AKB48 has raised money, Samaritan's Purse has delivered a whole 747, and others are helping, but they need much more help.



Haiti still needs help. Imagine Japan is much worse and will be recovering for years. Even New Orleans hasn't fully recovered.

What the New Facebook Pages Mean - For Users & Owners [11Feb11]

It will take some to get used to as does all things involving change, but I think I will interact more with my page friends. http://amplify.com/u/apzg9

What the New Facebook Pages Mean - For Users & Owners [11Feb11]

It will take some to get used to as does all things involving change, but I think I will interact more with my page friends.

Amplify’d from mashable.com

One of the biggest changes is the ability for Page administrators to be logged in as the Page itself, which enables them to comment on behalf of the Page across to other Pages as well as public user profiles.

The new features will give Pages more exposure by extending their reach on the platform and are likely to drive higher engagement through new notification features. For a breakdown of what the new design and feature changes mean, we’ve laid out the core implications below.

Outreach & Page Reach
One of the key features with the new Facebook Pages is that administrators of a page can switch back and forth between their personal profiles and essentially the profile of the Page. This enables admins to comment as the page on other pages and on users pages who have public profiles.As shown with our CEO's profile above, a page can now interact with some users. This means that we'll see more interactivity and engagement from Pages directly across Facebook. The engagement is no longer confined to the page itself. Instead, page owners will now be able to do outreach and will ultimately have more reach, likely gaining exposure to their presence on the platform.
Professional Profiles
One of the many complaints that Facebook users often have is being able to keep their personal vs. professional lives separate on Facebook. Some resort to creating two separate profiles: one for work-related connections and one for personal ones. But what most users don't realize is that having two profiles is a violation of Facebook Terms of Service.What we'll likely see more of is people creating pages for their professional use and connections on Facebook. Because the new Facebook Pages look and feel similar to profile pages, the awkward barrier of clicking the "like" button on a user's page will likely diminish. With the new features and easy accessibility of switching back-and-forth between your page and profile, more users will use this route to separate their personal and professional identities on Facebook.
Greater Fan Exposure
Not only are pages getting more exposure with the changes, but the fans of the pages are as well. The new Pages defaults the Page Wall to show "Everyone." The Wall filters have been simplified to either "Posts by Page" or "Everyone." The Everyone filter is improved and provides a way for people to see not only see posts by the Page, but also by fans. This default may give fans of the page more exposure.
Curated News Feed
Because page owners can now be logged in as a Page, they also have their very own News Feed, which shows posts based on Pages they have "liked." This enables administrators to utilize their Page as something that is beyond a distribution platform, but also one for consumption. By "liking" other pages, they can create their very own curated News Feed that all the administrators can see and utilize to keep up with Pages of choice.
Promoting Staff
What's interesting is that the new Pages now enable you to not only feature other Pages, but also feature the Page owners. This is a smart move because it "puts a face" behind the logo of many pages, and makes them more personal. However, Page owners will likely tread carefully so as not to promote or feature staff members who wish to keep their profiles more private.
Increased Engagement From Notifications
By being logged in as a Page, administrators will now be able to keep up with activity more easily on their page through live notifications on Facebook. They can also choose to receive notifications via e-mail when users post or comment on their Pages. This will likely drive engagement on Pages, and fewer comments and fans will be neglected as a result.
Page Will Get More Exposure
Because you can now easily "like" other pages, it is likely to drive more connection between Pages and ultimately give them more exposure. Prior to the design, there was really no way to connect your Page to another, unless you listed it in your "Favorites." As an administrator, you're now able to actively select other Pages you'd like to feature. And the ability to be logged into a Page and "like" another page will increase and expose those connections on the platform.
