Startups - Four Ways To Redefine Failure

Startups - Four Ways To Redefine Failure | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.atlanticbt.com - November 6, 2012 2:15 PM

What did Marty learn from starting four companies? Four ways how to redefine failure.

Marty Note
Wrote this piece just before the Internet Startup Summit in Raleigh. It shares my four startup "failures" and the hard won lessons learned. My money scorecard is just about break even and I've had amazing experiences, so "failure" isn't the way I think about my startup experience. As Eckhart Tolle says, "Whatever is happening is exactly what is supposed to be happening."

If you have great stories of hard lessons learned please share and I will curate into the piece on Atlantic BT's blog. Thanks. Marty

This piece was written by Jeff Turner, it makes you STOP and think. Pinterest is the latest new shiny thing but as Jeff says, buyer beware. His insights are right on the money.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest – 2012′s Most Amazing Social Media Statistics [INFOGRAPHIC]

FIPT = Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter

Martin (Marty) Smith's curator insight, December 26, 2012 11:12 PM

FIPT or Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter have put up some amazing numbers this last year proving SMM is here to stay and here for real. Debate the ROI at your company's marketing peril.

Time to get into the social media deep in is upon Internet marketers. As I stated in Social Media Marketing The Most Important ROI, the key isn't what SMM does to the bottom line thought as this infographic proves those kinds of returns are coming.

Social media marketing's most powerful return is how it changes US as the wall between US and THEM slips silently into the past.
