@Kathrynclang Well, how's about yourself?

@conpsweeney Doing good - almost have the house back in order after our DIY project.

Q1: In the nature of wildcard talks, what do you do when someone/something gets in the way of what you had planned?

@Kathrynclang A1) Go with it, see what happens!

A1: As a writer, I've always been a pantser (which means I fly by the seat of my pants). I have found that in life (as a home school mom of three boys) this is a good backup plan.
#SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)
@conpsweeney I feel the same. Find a way to make the detour work for you instead of letting it work against you.

Q2: Have you taken time to make a plan for your #SocialMedia investment? If you don't have a plan, how will you know if something gets in your way?
#SocialCafe
@conpsweeney Survived? Sometimes I think it was the constant barriers and detours that helped me find my creative nature. #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)
A1 Go with the flow ... it could get interesting #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @conpsweeney It's "this close." We have a few more pieces of furniture to move around - because when you do a major DIY project you should also re-arrange the house, right?
#SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)
@socialwebcafe Having a #positive spin on the adjustments will help insure that it not only gets interesting but that it works for you (instead of working against you).
#SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)
@Kathrynclang @conpsweeney You all have such retweetable, quotable response! 100% agree! I've found some of my best articles have been the ones that I didn't plan and were the result of those detours #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @conpsweeney I like to think of a detour as a site seeing adventure and not an adversity.
The way we look at things makes a different in how much control those things have over us.
#SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang)
@Kathrynclang A2) What's your definition of a plan?

A2 Yes, I am a planner - almost too much but those detours do tend to mix it up a bit ;) #SocialCafe

— Con Sweeney(@conpsweeney)
@conpsweeney For me, a plan can be a list of things to accomplish, or it can be a #WhiteBoardofWorldDomination. It depends on the task, goal, or sometimes the time of year. :D

@Kathrynclang Ok, you got me there, Con! I think I detoured (and detoured and detoured) to that quantity! Can't say that was the original plan.. lol #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe)
A3: Now that I've asked, I have to think about it. I know what my focus is, but I need to define how I will turn that focus into my success (and what it will look like).
#SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe Detours can be good, as long as they don't lead to a sign that says: pavement ends
And what it means is that the road ends and the bay begins right NOW!

@Kathrynclang Good point! But, another thing that has helped is to understand the definition of if/when/how pavement could end... topic for another time... along with intrinsic motivation #SocialCafe #overthinking

How are you investing in growing your #socialmedia relationships?
Or do you expect to have results without investment?

A1: As a marketer it depends on the thing. Can I spin it to be part of something my audience cares about? If yes, Roll with it! No? Then it is my job to get things back on track for the good of my audience #SocialCafe

A2: Have a plan and have processes for any repeatable task (industry event, product launch, thought leadership campaign). Don't waste time reinventing the wheel. Always measure to make sure the best practice didn't change #SocialCafe

A3: When I create a solid engagement the makes a lightbulb go on. The way I see it my job is to help my audience "get it". That might be through an infographic or a DM but when they say "ah ha, I get it" That's success #socialcafe
