Speaker Feature: Doug Cone

Check out what internet entrepreneur and Director of Business Development for Nullvariable Web Consulting has to say about his upcoming participation in Clemson NetworkBash:

How has social media benefited you personally in your professional endeavors?
Social media has allowed me to make many connections that might have otherwise been difficult to make or taken many years. In addition I’ve been able to participate in many fun events because of being connected through social media. Social media has helped drive word of mouth for my business and helped sell out a recent seminar I presented.

What are you looking forward to most about the NetworkBash! event on November 4th?

The opportunity to meet students and discover how they’re using social media. To hear first hand their challenges and goals for the future.

What is the best advice you can give to current students about getting a jump start on their career goals?

Remember your goals. Break them down into much smaller more achievable steps. Go for them. The path that is presented to you isn’t always the best path. There are no shortcuts that are worth taking, hard honest work will always produce the best long term, sustainable results.

Doug Cone will be speaking on the value of networking through Twitter at NetworkBash on November 4^th from 2:15-2:45pm in the Hendrix Center.  Sign up for Doug’s workshop session here and check out the other great events NetworkBash has in store for the day!  You can learn more about Doug at his website, http://dougcone.com/ or follow him on Twitter at http://twitter.com/nullvariable
