My Thoughts, Ideas & Tidbits

This week I want you to start thinking about how your service or product is unique. Why do your customers choose you over your competition? How do you do it better that anyone else?

What makes a great product or service? How do you take that idea at 3am and turn it into a multi-million dollar company? How do you become successful and feel like you have lived a life full of ‘everything’?

So you completed the business wheel and you found out that your business wheel is not a 'wheel' but a weird triangle - hexagon, with one round-ish side. That is ok, we are all there with you and sometimes we never have a complete round wheel hauling butt down the road. If your wheel is a perfectly round, then you do not have a business...you have a hobby.

I started my 2018 planning in October but I did not know that the cold/flu I caught was going to knock me out for two very important weeks. The last two weeks of the year...I had everything planned out, webinars and podcasts to record, newsletters to write, social media to post...you get the idea.

This week I got inspiration from Eminem...yes, Eminem. We grew up in very similar situations...

If you’re looking for career inspiration and professional development, what you don’t need is another presentation, book, or seminar planned months ahead of time. As coaches, what we really want out of an event is to experience community, connection and personal value.

Remember last week when I asked you to figure out what that perfect person for your product or service is by drawing a stick figure? Well this week I am asking you to do something sacrilegious in the marketing community...

One of my favorite part and not-so-favorite part of my business is marketing. And you are probably like, but Annie you owned a marketing firm for over 11 years, why do you loathe it so much?

This week I would like you to start thinking about your personal budget. Do you budget your personal finances like your business finances?
