Success & Your Social Life

Finding the balance you need to “feel” successful

Don’t worry, this is not going to be one of those unrealistic screeds about trying to find balance between your work, and your social life. You are young, full of energy, enthusiasm, and ideas. Now is EXACTLY the time to harness that, and set yourself up for a lifetime of success.

Then again, I’m not saying a personal life is unimportant. Even if you work for yourself, if ALL you do is work, you will quickly become nothing more than a cog in your very own machine. Being your own boss may be demanding, but there’s no need for your boss to be a total jerk.

So, understand, Ronn Torossian is no philosopher or psychologist, and I’ll never pretend to be one. What I am is a person who understands exactly what it takes to achieve success. I also understand the importance of maintaining who you are, and what (or who) you love in the process.

I know PR, and that means I have a pretty fair understanding of people, too. But I’m not going to bore you with platitudes, and self-help nonsense. I’m going to help you learn how to manage your success, and your life from a public relations perspective.
Develop messages that keep working

While some targeted messages should be temporary, and very specifically pointed, most of your communication should have an element of timelessness. This will help you keep from having to remake, or renovate your content every time the world moves on. This will allow you to fit more “me” time into your week.
Develop TransMedia connections that perpetually build your brand

TransMedia offers an excellent opportunity for you to keep your ideas, brands, or products fresh without the additional effort of developing completely new ideas for various platforms. Extend your message via additional platforms without reinventing the wheel for every possible communication medium.
Staying on message

One of the fringe benefits of remembering your message is the inherent focus this activity brings. Enthusiasm can bleed into a lot of areas, and confuse your direction. Some CEOs, and business pros sink themselves by allowing too many directions to limit their effectiveness in any one venue. Staying on message will help you avoid this mistake.
