ProBlogger: Influence vs Fame

---

Influence vs Fame Posted: 07 Jul 2010 06:33 AM PDT “Can you help me to become more Influential?“ This was the question I was asked by someone at a recent networking event. I replied: “Why do you want to be influential?” He responded: “I want more people to know about me.” I said: “Why?” He answered: “Because I’d be more successful if more people knew who I was.” I asked: “What would you do next if more people knew who you were?” He stared at me blankly: “I’m not sure…. does it matter?” I responded: “I don’t think you really want to have influence…. I think you want fame.” He responded, with a beaming smile: “Can you help me become famous?” Influence – it’s not just about the size of your network or how many people hear what you say – it’s about your capacity to impact the actions and and opinions of others. Fame – the state of being widely known or recognized; renown; celebrity. Fame or Influence – which would you prefer? Post from: Blog Tips at ProBlogger. Influence vs Fame Share This
