Settle for Excellence by Topher Morrison is sitting at my side this morning begging for me to pass some wisdom along. Topher identifies the formula for happiness:

1. Achieve your goals without obsessing over them.
2. Eliminate times when you are unhappy.
3. Quit holding on to things that are no longer true.
4. Avoid becoming addicted to a specific outcome or life.

So, what does this have to do with blogging and social media? Well, by leveraging the optimization benefits of a blog and social media, you are widening your circle of influence, and attracting more prospects while minimizing your overall workload. This means you can achieve your goals faster and without obsessing. Won’t that make you happier? Of course, you will have to let go of those old fears about this new fangled blog and social media thing and you have to let go of any preconceived notions or attachments to a specific result.

Happy blogging, facebooking and tweeting!
