Are your marketing efforts actually killing your sales?

Social Media Stress - how much of it is really productive, or is it just another long list of 'ToDo's that are getting you no where?
Guess what?!!… LinkedIn launched streaming video a few weeks ago. One of the last major social media players to do so. Now you can add the LinkedIn Vlog to your list of todo’s to be able to be seen in all the right places.
So now… do you have the following?:
  • Website
  • Google Analytics
  • Landing pages
  • Blog / Vlog
  • Email list with regular mailings
  • Facebook business Page
  • Facebook interest group
  • Twitter account
  • Instagram profile
  • YouTube channel
  • LinkedIn profile
  • LinkedIn Group

… and probably at least a dozen more that didn’t make it into my memory banks with prepared videos for each different platform

Hmmm, does that feel like a full time job? Honestly I get stressed just looking at that list. ​​

The Real reason some decision are so hard...

I have seen it so many times, in my own life and those who are close to me. You have a decision to make and you are 'umming' and 'ahhing' over it for days, weeks, sometimes months. You go over the pros and cons in your mind and just can not find a way to answer definitively what it is you are going to do.

I propose that often the real reason is because not only is there emotion involved but, and this is the sucker punch, because you know that if you really follow your heart of hearts someone you care about is going to get hurt. You are a good person, you don't want to cause any pain or suffering, you don't want to disappoint, you don't want to back out of a promise or cost someone money or time that they have invested in you or because of you. Perhaps it is you that you are trying to keep safe and you are scared of the risk.

Why SMART Goals Suck

Picture
​You know the ones, Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely (or similar variations). So why do they suck when 'everyone' is telling us it is a great tool to get things done, to put them on the achieved pile?

Well it has been a while since I posted a blog and since it is that funny time of year between Christmas and New Year I thought now would be a good time to get some of my plans for 2017 underway. I hope you all had and are still to have a lovely festive season spending some quality time with not just your friends and family but with yourself.
