Give without expecting anything in return

Give
This is important to do on any social networking site, not just beBee, but it’s particularly important to do on here. It is human nature for people to be focused on wanting to receive something for themselves or their business.
The best way to give to others would be to make recommendations. I see a lot of people asking for recommendations from people all the time, when they haven’t written any for others first. Preston 🐝 Vander Ven

The more you recommend others without asking for one in return, it will give them a refreshing feeling about you and they’ll want to be helpful in return. Preston 🐝 Vander Ven

If you want someone to comment, share, or like your posts, you need to do this for others first without the expectation of the return. “You Reap What you Sow”. I like the ratio 10/1. For every buzz I post that is mine, I share, comment, or like ten other Bees in the Hive."

Give Without expecting anything in return

Implement this strategy to view the world, and your business, differently. 
 

It goes without saying that you should always be looking for ways to provide others with value. I talk about this a lot, and I advise all companies to create content that brings value to their customer; create a media site, write articles, make videos, gain leverage and new customers through building these relationships. It is the number one way to sell a product right now

Because the truth is, people like people. We're wired for it. And people do business with other people. So when you learn to generally give to those people without expecting them to do something in return, you win. You'll perceive the world differently, and if we're being honest be a better person because of it.

It takes you outside your comfort zone.

I know your probably thinking it’s easier to take care of yourself then worry about others. To be a leader in today’s social society you must be authentic, you must be engaging and you must be selfless. Yes you must be selfless, help others without expecting anything in return. Simply help people, be human, engage one another and be real. We -as humans- are designed to want to communicate with one another need proof just take a look around watch a couple use sign language, laugh, have fun. 
 

Bring personal and professional passions together to disrupt

Sir Richard Branson embraces his personal brand and incorporates it into everything he does. He is a leader brand, and perhaps what is most amazing about Branson and his multitude of Virgin projects is that they all share the same sense of personality, playfulness and good humour that we can see in his personal brand. Branson is an expert at bringing his personal and professional passions together to create positive disruptions.

Business is about relationships

The integration of your personal and business brands can lead to new opportunities. We all can agree that business is about relationships. 
 

I am very active on the platform and regularly engage with our user base. Many of them have told me over and over how much they love seeing a top executive from the company drop by their posts to comment and engage with them on a personal level. This is the only way to build trust. I am open 24*7. We can agree. We can disagree. But beBee is also making a difference because of my presence.
 

"The greatest motivator for CEOs to get on social media may be simple necessity. Social media represents a cultural shift, not just a technological one, and it's already made the leap into the workplace. In the end, it's very difficult for a CEO to guide this transformation without 'getting' social media on some level--ideally a personal one."  Ryan Holmes, Hootsuite CEO
