Who We Need

This whole time that I have been keeping up with the Summit; my title has been before you.  I have been saved for a purpose. Everyone has.
If you wake up, you have a purpose.
Everyone has been created with a personality and learning type to pursue their dreams and future,no matter what that may look like. We are here to help each other. Find a mentor, seek out friends or colleges with a like mind or similar goals, someone who is one step further in the journey; these are the people from whom you can learn.
But don’t stop there, along with the learning, there is action. Knowledge is futile without execution. We can have the accolades of scholars, but if we don’t do something with it, it is all for naught.
Now, that does not mean that we have to have the exact dream job; the one that was planned. But if you take what you have learned, apply it to your life, in any circumstance, than we have succeeded.
However . . .
Succeeding is not all there is.

When we take what we have learned and share our knowledge with someone else, young or old, then we win the “Job well done” from our Creator. The underlying theme in the Movement Marketing Summit 2015 with Andy Zitzmann and AJ Amyx was that of building relationships to reach our goals in life and business alike.

  • ·         It is in the partner who supports their spouse, giving in everything.
  • ·         It is in the student who lends a hand to a peer to get out of the bind they are in.
  • ·         It is with the parent who takes the child to the library to find an answer.
  • ·         It is with the ‘friend’ or ‘teacher’ found online that gives a free demo of a skill.

There are many more examples that can be recalled, but the results are conclusive… seek help, give help. This builds trust. Businesses need this connection, it's the best way to work.


A quote from  Kimberlee Morrison put it this way;

“When a business creates content, it is generally centered around what the business has to offer. By offering promotions and deals, they are trying to reach out directly to the customer to generate leads and sales.
Sharing content has a slightly different purpose. In the context of social marketing, sharing news articles about the business or industry, trending stories or reviews, is an attempt to start a conversation with fans, followers and customers. Exposing the customer to the information this way usually isn’t seen as marketing, and could increase trust in your brand.”
As we learn, we share….
"A mix of both tactics — creating and sharing content — will yield the best results."
Thank you to Patty Farmer, for sharing the article, 'The Difference Between Content Sharing and Content Creation'. (a friendship and connection made) 
In essence, what I am getting at, is that we need to share information via the world wide web or face to face. We need each other to learn from and teach. (Warning: Some things could be misrepresented  on the internet . Proceed with caution.)
I discovered the amazing gifts, shared by strangers, to be life-giving/life-restoring.
I will share my story of how I was Saved for a Purpose next time and perhaps, you will be able to share your story with me too.
