Is It Really That Rare To Give A Sh*t In Business?
You’re trying to run a business, spinning lots of plates AND people expect you to engage with your audience? Nobody has time for that, right? Actually, I reckon we do, and it doesn’t need to be that hard!
A FUNNY thing happened on LinkedIn this week. I’d shared my daily post and was popping back in to respond to comments when one of my followers said this: “It always amazes me how you answer everyone’s comments, Taz.”
Needless to say, I responded, asking why it was so surprising for me to reply.
Her answer was this: “You are clearly very busy and I’m sure you’ll never meet many followers — still it’s hooked me in!!”
Here’s the thing: I don’t respond to people to ‘hook them in’, though that is, I guess, an added bonus.
She’s right — I am very busy and I do have lots of followers I’ll probably never meet — but that doesn’t mean I don’t care.
For me, it’s a simple case of manners. If people are taking the time to engage with my content — watch my videos, listen to my audios, read my words — the least I can do is take the time to respond to their comments.
