How fast do you adapt?
By admin | December 11, 2008
Yesterday I wrote about the new addition to the tank. You need to look at the picture closely to see the new addition. Gizzard looms over Baby and yes that is the new turtle’s name.
I did notice a few things though that can be applied to your on line business. Baby adapted within two hours. He stopped hiding and took his rightful place on the ramp.
He also quickly discovered that the far back corner was the safe place to sleep. As you have seen before when I have talked about stacking he did not want to get under one of the big guys with the size difference.
Now the question is how quickly do you adapt with your business?
It is becoming more and more of a Web 2.0 world and if you are not creating your own tribe (Check out Seth Godin’s book Tribes
See it is easy to control a very specific area of your market with today’s tools.
- Videos
- Blogs
- Squidoo
- Hub Pages
- and many more
Now you can’t and should not be trying to master all of these at one time. But…
There is no reason you should not be taking a set period of time each week to add these in.
All of these can be intertwined too as you add the next one.
For example:
Each time I post here Tweet My Blog makes a post to let my Twitter friends know there is a new post. The RSS feed on any Squidoo lens that is tied to this blog updates. Same with Facebook, Hub Pages and others.
See one little action here is leveraged many times over. As not everyone that visits the Squidoo lens is already on this blog or my Twitter friend or a Facebook friend etc. the wave continues.
Like throwing a pebble into a pond the one little action continues to expand exponentially.
If you are not it is time to adapt like Baby did or get squashed by those that do.
Let me know how you are adapting to the changing internet.

You are so right Mike and there is a lot to grasp. Every little bit you learn just builds on top of something else. Hopefully not so for the turtles.
