Social Media Tip of the Day: Don’t value yourself based on social media.

A recent article in Forbes reveals that one of the by-products of social media is that how you (and others) perceive yourself through social media can seem more important than your reality.

So individuals begin to see themselves as successful if they get 1,000 followers on Twitter and not necessarily because they are a lawyer.  People create themselves as experts through the power of social medial whilst real experts may have no social media presence.

The article also shows us 7 ways how we can value ourselves in real life – here are a few:

1. If you have low self-esteem you will compare yourself to others.  DON’T! Focus on yourself and what your strengths are.
2. Align yourself with the right people, those people who are happy for you and encourage you to grow your potential.
3. It’s important to be your own brand manager.
