Each of us has a special aim in life. Some people recognize their aim in early years, some recognize it very late and some recognize it never.
What is the best “engine” in business? Our own passion and motivation! Our own energy!
Where does passion come from, where do we get energy and motivation from? From our inner self. This passion must come from the heart not from the brain. We have to stand with our feelings behind our deeds, behind our actions. A rational thinking steered by the head delivers you not the essential power for reaching something special. We have to follow our heart and not too much our head.
The head tries to prevent us from taking too many risks in life, from making mistakes, from following an unkown path in life. And this keeps us from the best things in life, from our dreams, from visions, from the best possibilities in life that may make life so exciting. The best chances will never reach us when trusting our head too much.
The greatest leaders in history always followed their visions and inner self, not their head and mind. They had spontaneous ideas and turned them immediately into reality. They never reflected if a decision would cause a mistake – they never thought about failing in life. And they never thought about the need of getting wealthy and having lots of money. Money played no role for them. Only the fulfillment of their dreams had been important.
Donald Trump said once:
“Without passion, you don’t have energy; without energy, you have nothing. Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion.”
Even Oprah Winfrey said:
“You’ve got to follow your passion. You’ve got to figure out what it is you love — who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.”
Great leaders are always fascinated by new chances, by new possibilities in life. They are able to visualize new chances in front of their eyes and to begin to live them. They don’t cling their heart to old habits and well-tried things. They SEE new paths and follow these paths inspirationally, only steered by their hearts.
And the emotions behind this procedure cause to being able to grow beyond ourselves.
FOLLOW YOUR HEART – BUT DON’T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR BRAIN WITH YOU.
Mary Lou Retton said once::
“Each of us has a fire in our hearts for something … Find it and keep it lit!”

A good leader has to show special qualities for being able to lead people and to motivate people.
Different positive traits of character have come together to complete this perfect leader profile.
A leader has to “step down” onto the step of his followers and has to feel what the followers need.
He has to care and support them willingly.
There are four essential points that he has to keep in the eye:
1.) Integrity
2.) Responsibility
3.) Forgiveness
4.) Compassion

Do you believe in Santa #Klout?
Do you believe in this tool who measures people’s influence online?
You certainly know that there exists another new tool that measures our influence online – Kred.
One may easily think that both of them value the same things, but they jugde people and activities very differently.
Klout measures influence
…………………………………. = how PEOPLE respond to YOUR activity.
Kred measures influence + outreach
…………………………………… plus how YOU respond to OTHER PEOPLE’ S activities.
I think this is a very decisive difference between the two tools.
In simple words:
Klout values the engagement OF OTHERS with YOU.
Kred values the engagement OF OTHERS with YOU, but also YOUR engagement with OTHERS.
What speaks also for Kred is the fact that it is more transparent and that it directly identifies influencers.
Here you see an infographic which compares both tools – Klout and Kred:

Kred is the new tool for measuring people’s influence online.
We all have Kred somewhere.
The measurable influence in Kred is based on two metrics: influence and outreach.
Here the Kred Scoring Guide:

Today I tried to test if creating a list in Kred is already possible. Kred is still in the BETA phase.
I used the Ecademy score as incentive.
And I could recognize that it is possible to create a list but you are not able to sort this list.
Here my unsorted #Ecademy Kred list:

Beside each profile you see the belonging Twitter name and the Kred sign to open the Kred profile.
If you like you may give people some Kred via this list.
You only have to type in the belonging Twitter name into the search field in the header of the site.
Be social – give some Kred to people.
Here the slideshare presentation to Kred:
