Think Outside the Window

Why not? We are always encouraged to think outside the box, but who says there isn't a window you've been looking through for some time and wish you were outside? In that area where the grass is always greener. Where if you had just _____, and you can fill in the blank here, your business, your staff, your association, your Board, your family, etc. would truly be better, happier, wealthier, more in tune, in touch, productive, happy, all of that. This is it! Open the window. The box you are in has a window! Who knew? All this time you really thought you couldn't get out without a great deal of thinking. You have a free ticket. This is the point in time you make the decision to change it all up. To be in the moment, be creative, look for alternative ways, set your staff free to think with you, brainstorm with your partner, talk with your family, and meet with a focus group of your association to really make a difference. Today is so much further removed from 6 months ago, and, definitely, a year ago, you don't have the luxury of not making the change, opening the window and taking your business, your life, your challenges and setting the plan in motion. What does it really take? There is profit by process. Next time, more.

Customer Service

Fortunately or unfortunately I needed customer service this week for my Web site and design needs. Let me say, I was amazed. GoDaddy has great service, over the top, couldn't help enough, looked for more ways to save money and ensure I was getting all I needed. Someone use them as a model!!! If more companies realized your marketing starts internally before it really can be the best externally, profitability would prevail. I'll be back GoDaddy. I'll spread the word, I'll talk about the lady that was incredibly helpful, and further, I will provide free marketing for you as I talk about your services to my friends. Everyone, look at your companies. Starts with staff, training, leadership, accountability, bringing your whole self to work.

Why Not You?

If you could make a difference, would you? If you could change your life so much that you also positive affected other people's lives, would you? Have you lost the energy to keep yourself motivated to be the best you can be? If all that is true, what are your excuses? The businesses that will make it through this economy are the ones that are infused with the energy of the owner, the entreprenuer, the small business that is a part of the fabric of this nation. It starts with each of us caring enough about ourselves to stay on track and be the best we can be. Then share that. It is never too late. Find a business or personal coach to help you get on track whether it is me or someone else. Do it! Be the energy, you CAN make life successful. Email me. let's get going on the economic stimulus for all of us.

No Time Outs

Its usable in sports, acceptable as one of the rules, and also in tag when you were a kid. Time out. Don't you wish you could get some time out to think, be creative, chill for awhile, have everything in the world stop and give you some moments to gather your thoughts and energy? Really? Why wouldn't we? In the middle of thinking through a huge decision that means using your resources to market, to spend time on Social Media, to use a chunk of change to upgrade the technology for your company ~ you name it ~ wouldn't you really like a time out? Not today. Not tomorrow. Decisions at the speed of sight. Snooze you lose. All those euphemisms. My advice? Stay on it. Use your time wisely. Work smarter, not harder. Work to keep marketing and part of all that you do, but also teach everyone in your company they are part of the sales staff, the marketing department and the customer service. Today you are being branded every nano second by your customers and your st...
