Did a Google Search for Max Soutter this morning! Actually it’s something i used to do all the time, just not recently. I was surprised at what i found…although i shouldn’t have been i suppose.
over one hundred thousand results, the front page looks like this a couple of links to my social media accounts (have you circled me on G+?), my main blog (this one), a talk i did for TEDx on YouTube, an old interview and so on – but all business related…actually you’d have to through several pages before you found non-business related results for my name – which is weird i thought..
I mean business is only a part of my life, and not even the most important either…yet it is by far what i am most known for. Seems wrong. What about Jesus and the Gospel of grace i love so much, what about my awesome wife and ridiculously cute kids? What about death by chocolate (one of histories greatest inventions)?
I’ve always said, “You can tell whats most important to a man by how he spends his time and his money”…now i’m wondering if i should ad…”and by the top and most common results on his google search”…
What do you think?
Developing a powerful presence in the social media space is not an event, it’s not even a campaign. It’s a process, it’s long term. It’s not a matter of launching a Facebook fan page as much as it is about developing a mindset and cultivating a following, and building a tribe and other boring things that will require the Horrible ‘P word’.
Question: What do Church Leaders and Business leaders have in common, besides being leaders?
“Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Jesus. Luke 6:38, The Bible.
Want to be boring? Be Luke warm, agree, but also disagree, be balanced. No one wants to watch a movie that’s not too scary, or not too funny. Heck, If you’re going to be funny, be funny.
