I was looking at our perception of marketing last time, and I promised you some ideas: here you go!

One proven method to reach the people who are looking for you is to offer some sort of “try before you buy” …

When I started my own business I had no idea what marketing was. I had no idea what I should be doing to attract the people who were ALREADY looking for me!

I was talking previously about how you may feel - for all sorts of endless reasons! - that you’re not ready to follow your dream and embark on the life you really want for yourself.

The fact is - as I will show you! That you ARE ready! really and all you have to do is

When I started my business, I was desperate for clients!

You may relate to that. I tried this, and I tried that - and while I got enough clients to make my business viable I was always making concessions Kowtowing to them perhaps BEGGING them to sign up!

Having learnt all that it meant I was better able to focus on my client rather than be worrying about what to do next! Worrying whether I was good enough!

 These feelings of insufficiency are crippling and unnecessary!

Why waste so much time when you could be out there doing the thing you love?

Helping others with their problems by showing them how to solve them. Feeling satisfied with your life spending time with the thing you’re passionate about!

I want you to focus on your good points, Yes - you have good points! We all have good points. Sometimes they get a bit buried In the hustle and bustle of daily life but they are there and you want to be sure to give them expression as often as you can.

I have to confess that I used to sit waiting for inspiration.

I was busy all the time, doing this, doing that … and I expected the muse to appear, tap me on the shoulder, and say, “Excuse me, but were you wanting a shaft of light?”

ld make what I loved doing become the focus of my day (in my case it was that I’d be good at training others to train their dogs) I did what many people do.

I have a confession to make.

I was interested in training dogs for years.

I competed at a high level with my dogs for years.

I even made up a couple of Champions.

Is that True or False?

I floated this question in the my private group Creativity Central recently and got ZERO response.

Now either I worded it too obscurely for it to be understood or nobody agreed with me,Or could see any sense in the statement.
