Twitter Punking for the "Average Joe"

This past Thursday, I did a personal project on Twitter.  It was a day long project and I enjoyed doing it with the few people that follow my "tweets".  To get everyone up to speed, here is what I wrote:

"Good morning.  And in case I don't see you:  Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight". - Jim Carey in the Truman Show movie

In Kentucky meeting with the folks from the largest healthcare linen supplier in the state. Important mtg. w/ Jen, Jordon, and Ronnie.

Great mtg.  Next on the agenda is a mtg. to coach and consult with a small group of business ppl. to help nail down $500,000 of new business.

Just had lunch with a well-know top service guru in KY.  Thanks Steve (Mo).  Great discussion!

Heading back to TN to meet with possible 2016 Olympian, member of a popular rock band, and 1 of the most successful/beautiful women in the USA!

An incredible day.  So much progress and promise.  Thanks to all who were a part of it.  So good to be back home.

So here is the premise for my "project".  I have recently started to follow famous athletes, pastors, business people, artists, actors, and a variety of others.  We all seem to be so very interested in following these people.  Their days are filled with important meetings, big deals, busy schedules, and tidbits of information and wisdom.  But, in my opinion, their days are not any more important than ours, the "average Joe". 

So here is the explanation of my "tweets" and my day:

"Good morning.  And in case I don't see you:  Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight". - Jim Carey in the Truman Show movie  This tweet was a subtle hint that I had something planned for the day.  The premise of the Truman Show is that the main character lives in a world that is not real, fake, designed by someone else.  

In Kentucky meeting with the folks from the largest healthcare linen supplier in the state. Important mtg. w/ Jen, Jordon, and Ronnie. True.  I just happen to work at the largest healthcare linen supplier in the state.  And I had a meeting with the CEO to work out some details for commission and future meetings.

Great mtg.  Next on the agenda is a mtg. to coach and consult with a small group of business ppl. to help nail down $500,000 of new business. Yep, true again.  I helped my sales team secure half a million dollars in new business this quarter and we had to wrap everything up for the end of the quarter.  I know this doesn't sound like a large amount of business, but it sure helps.

Just had lunch with a well-know top service guru in KY.  Thanks Steve (Mo).  Great discussion!  Yeah, you are probably starting to catch on.  Steve works for the same company that I work for.  He truly is a top service person in Kentucky and knows so many people in Kentucky that he seems to run into people that he knows whenever we make business calls together.

Heading back to TN to meet with possible 2016 Olympian, member of a popular rock band, and 1 of the most successful/beautiful women in the USA!  I know you got it now.  My son, Joshie, is the possible 2016 Olympian, the member of the popular rock band is my other son, Spencer.  The successful/beautiful women that I met was my wife.  Statistically speaking, the income that she earns is in the top 10% of women in the U.S.

An incredible day.  So much progress and promise.  Thanks to all who were a part of it.  So good to be back home.  Just another way to look at the day.  I always see the tweets of these famous people that end the day like this.  Truly it was an incredible day.

So my point is this; you and I (the average Joe) are no different than all of these famous people that everyone looks up to.  As a matter of fact, I believe it is the "average Joe" that makes our economy (and our nation as a whole) work.  You and I can have lives that are just as satisfying and fulfilled as the people that we see on in the public eye.

Your life's worth depends in part on your attitude, your outlook, and your perspective. 

Here's to the "average Joes" of this country!
