They say that no news is good news, but that was back in the days when just a few powerful people held the strings to the entire global media. That was then, this is now… today we live in a world where over 200Million people control the media that gets published daily – An army of Bloggers, Vlogger (Video Log), Twitter Posters and the like get to have more say these days than Rupert Murdoch.

So why does it need to be negative anymore. Social Media doesn’t require you to be sensationalist in order to sell papers or airtime. You can be truthful, authentic and if that means you share the good news as well as the bad then lets bring it on.

IN my recent video I decided to cover the stories of four business owners I know of who are doing things that inspire me. You can tell from my face that I was having a stressful day (which was compounded when I heard about another negative news story). When I made the video, I felt more balanced and was pleased to have focused my attention onto the people who really do deserve our attention … small scale entrepreneurs all over the world who ARE doing amazing things.

If you feel like sharing the stories of people who inspire you, I strongly recommend it.
