8 Tips to Work Smarter, Not Just Harder #SmartHustle

What is your big goal? Why do you do what you do? Why do you hustle? What keeps you going?

Do your every day actions truly get you closer to your goals? Or are they pushing you further away from the life and business you dream of?

One of the top questions I have received lately is, “Pam, why aren't you on Blab?”

There is a new shiny social video network in the social house. It's a fun, easy to use platform that enables video collaboration, and is much easier to use than Google Hangouts.

The community on Blab seems to be growing and social media lovers from around the globe are hopping on to the platform. Similar to Meerkat, Periscope, Google+ and every platform to date, there are experts who preach that you MUST get on the platform today. It's almost this “do it or you will die” mentality. The truth is you and your business are NOT going to die if you don't get on Blab this month or next, period.

Guess what… I am NOT on Blab yet. Why you ask?

Take a listen to the 165th episode of the Social Zoom Factor podcast and you'll find out exactly why I have not yet jumped into the Blab. The answer may surprise you.
