Do you remember how many times Thomas Edison failed at making the light bulb? Most likely not but I bet you can remember that it only took one time for him to get it right for it to be considered a success. If you feel like you have failed at developing your social media plan, don’t worry because you can continue trying until you figure out a combination of tasks that work for you.

Let’s continue to look at the example of Edison to see what we can learn from him that could help you go from failure to success in your social media efforts. I’ve used the acronym P.E.A.K. to help you remember these four easy step to go from failure to success with your social media efforts.

• Persistence. Don’t give up. Just keep trying until you find a formula or process that works for you and your business.
• Enjoy. Don’t let worry get you down. Enjoy your trip from failue to success as you determine what works for you.
• Appreciate. Look at what you have accomplished and appreciate how far you have come along and then press forward towards success.
• Knowledge. Determine that you will research and find ways that you can try which could lead to your success with social media.

As you strive for your P.E.A.K. in developing your social media strategy, keep in mind that being different in your approach or trying something new is OK. Watch the video below and allow it to encourage you as you go from failure to success with your social media efforts.
