Following on from this I found Chris Brogan’s post on Numbers that matter very apt. Chris wrote the post following someone expressing concern about their numbers on Facebook and indeed everywhere you turn you find someone stressing about how many friends they have on Facebook, how many followers on Twitter and so on and so on.

  • Number of times you promoted someone else
  • Number of ways you encouraged others today
  • Number of times you took a break for yourself
  • Worth thinking about eh ?
