Why Social Media Could End Up Killing Your BusinessLearn to dive deeper than 140 characters when working on your company.

ByBen Angel

It's easy to scroll through your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram feed and look at a dozen posts in under a minute. We've trained our minds to flit between topics, ideas and sources quickly to keep up with the constant stream of news and social media we now have at our fingertips. That's a powerful tool.

But, if you're using that same mindset to try and solve complex problems in your business, there's a good chance you're just going to end up making things worse.

Don't try to find a quick fix or skim over the problem at hand. Instead, try to remove as many distractions as possible -- especially your social media feed -- so you can dive deep into a problem and really examine it with a strategy, not just your emotions.

Click play to learn more about solving problems in your business and how a social media mindset can get you in trouble.
