I don't mean Facebook is actually dangerous, what I mean is because of so much negativity on Facebook if somebody spends too much time on there, they're going to fill their brain and their psyche and their head with pure poison.

I am learning that you have to stay positive to stay productive in your business. If you don't your own brain is going to try to talk you out of things that are totally achievable in your business.

I'm a firm believer in using Facebook to market, and even promote Wealthy Affiliate to attract referrals, it is one of my primary sources. However there's so much stuff on there that will drag your spirit down into the depths of icky, that if you dwell too long on there you will definitely feel less productive, and then your gray matter will start becoming clouded, and the next thing you know so will your ability to push forward with your business.

I literally have to look away from my screen when I'm working and recruiting on Facebook, because there's stuff on there that is not only negative, some of the stuff on there is down right horrific.

So many sad people are on their saying how much they hate themselves, how much they hate others, how much they hate the President, how much they hate refugees, how much they hate each other, how much they hate ethnic groups, hate, anger, hate, abuse, hate, bullying, hate, meanness, hate. Hate Hate Hate! See how this can just ruin your day?




Wow so much negativity on there that will absolutely ruin anybody's positive focus that steps foot on there for longer than ten minutes. I think Facebook is great but I think so many people use it as a crying platform, or a place to display all their hidden dark rage. Part of me wishes there were another platform that they could join or a group and spill all their anger, filth, hatred, and negativity on there hopefully in a productive constructive way, so as not to harm anyone because I'm not a violent person.

You see how that can just rob a person's Joy, take them from feeling like they're on top of the world. Their business is doing good, they've got great contacts, great communication, they've got their plans and goals, they're following their written daily schedule, there programs and their systems are in place, their analytics are rising up in their websites, they're attracting visitors, and Their audience is listening to their words, their YouTube channel is attracting more subscribers, their Instagram page is in creasing with followers, they're starting to learn how to integrate all their systems. The things they learned in their training is actually starting to flow within their personal business so they can just rock this thing right out of the park.

So the reason I wrote this, I just really want to get it out there that I want to see everybody succeed, and I know there's poisons out there that will just drip into your soul, that will cause you to be less productive that will dwindle away little by little at your person to allow you to start to doubt yourself, doubt the productivity of your business, Doubt the systems that you have in place.

The results of that will be you'll feel like you just want to quit. Don't let this happen please, I personally care about every single one of you, I may not know every single one of you, but I know that we all have the same thing in common, and by knowing that I feel that I know a part of each and everyone of you, so my heart reaches out to you by writing this so that you don't allow things to ruin the progress that you're making, that you're trying to make, and that you will make.

Say this every day! "I can" not "I can't" Say "I Love" not "I Hate" Say "I Will" not "I Won't"

I love this community, I love this training, I love what it is changed me into, and I love all of you!

Stay Positive! Stay Productive! Be Successful!! :) Have a Blessed Day!

Thank you. PP

I agree. There is a lot of negativity on Facebook.

You might try only interacting with positive content and people. After awhile the negative content will start to disappear unless it's being posted by some of your friends and family. Unfortunately I had to eliminate some people to clear up my feed.

Thank you

Yes I in a way kind of hoard my friends and contacts on there, as I have somewhere around a thousand so a decent audience for prospecting. But I can only be on there a short while because especially all the political ick! I have no problem with politics I just can't stand all the meanness it brings out of people.

Never was much for social media. That is until I started this business. Now I'm using Facebook for business reasons only. Sometimes for the marketplace, but that can be annoying in its own way.

Thank You

Oh so very true, annoying and highly intrusive, But necessary in my opinion. We take the good with the bad.

The main reason for this post was to get that positive message out there, I know personally that negative vibes will rob a person of the energy to stay productive.

Pete

I definitely agree with what you are communicating about the negativity on Facebook. WA reminds of Facebook bit I'm a much better way.
Facebook is a good source of referrals but you just got to take it with a grain of salt.
Nicely said.

Thank you

Yes I have said this is much better than FaceBook.

I love the positivity of this group!

Yes FaceBook is merely a tool I use to get what I need.


Pete

Let me click the dislike button. Dislike Facebook for that reason. That site is full of hate and even persecution of people, lots of drama and bullying. I am disgusted with that. That is why I am not on it. I have my personal profile there but it is rare that I check in. Only check in with family events. That's it. The rants are horrific. I stay off of it.

Thank you

I agree with you, I do use it but only to connect with family, friends and business.

Pete

I used to really enjoy FB. Catching up with old friends, family etc. But I have to echo what you have written here. Especially with the current political climate, I've seen otherwise rational people, on both sides, lose their way.

I'm glad you are making a go of it from a business perspective, but those are dark waters it will take me awhile to dip my feet in again. Love this post. Well done!

Thank you!

Yes they are dark waters, so I wade shallow in them, I use it and then move on.

And it is really sad because it used to be a more positive environment now it's a cistern of social refuse sadly to put it that way.
