More Celebration

Celebration

Celebration of the big moments.

Celebration of the little moments.

Celebration of the good and the bad.

Celebration of completion.

Celebration of starting.

It’s easy to find ways to celebrate all that’s around us if we only take the moment to do so.

Bringing Them Together

People At A Concert

Often advertising is about bringing one in or getting in front of many so that one-by-one purchases are made. It’s an email to a large group, but only received by one at a time. It’s all 1-1 marketing.

Consider a better form of marketing. The 1-n marketing. The marketing that brings people together.

Invite the board game group in to play together. Start a BIF contest where the winner of a quiz receives a gift and then needs to start a new contest with another gift for all to participate in.

Consider hosting a book club or renting a space to bring passionate social media users together to learn from one another.

What does it look like to go on tour for your profession?

1-1 communications certainly has its place, but if you’re longing for impact and fulfillment, you will have to find ways to bring people together.

Prompt The Listen

Person Performing

You know when you ask someone a question and they run with it?

That’s most people, actually. Especially if you ask the right question.

And while you may feel like they are rambling; they feel like they’re connecting, like you’re empathizing, like they finally have someone to talk to who wants to listen.

It’s a gift of feeling good that we have the ability to provide simply by prompting them.

Is this your first time here?

What did you think of the meal?

Any other plans for this evening?

Who did you bring with you today?

Stay Positive & What’s Next?

Filling A Water Bottle

Water Bottle In The Woods

It doesn’t make sense to keep an empty water bottle and only fill it up when we want/need water.

It doesn’t make sense to have an empty water bottle that we only fill a tiny bit throughout the day.

It doesn’t make sense to go a full day with an empty water bottle, thinking “I’ll fill it tomorrow.”

It doesn’t make sense to keep the empty water bottle out of sight or on the other end of the building.

Far better to fill the bottle in the morning, keep it close, and continue to top it off throughout the day.

We’re no different.

Cleanliness Is Next To…

Clean Streets

A clean space makes room for bright ideas.

Cleanliness adds positive energy to an area.

If it’s clean, it’s likely more organized. If it’s more organized, there’s likely more time to do valuable work.

A clean area makes one feel calm upon arrival.

And if that’s all just how you feel when your home, bed, workspace, journal, computer, email is clean. Imagine the impact you can make when you help others (whether you’re visible to take credit for it or not).

Step 1: Make and keep your home clean

Step 2: Make home wherever you are

You’ll thank yourself. And others will thank you, too.

Stay Positive & Welcome To Godliness

The Gentle Journey

Marathon View

Drip drip drip.

One step by on step.

Inch by inch.

One after the other.

They all feel far more enjoyable than:

Everything at once.

All right this second.

Sprint.

Stay Positive & You’re Supposed To Enjoy The Journey

Attention Or Invite

Event Gathering

Someone waving at you is much different than someone waving you over.

Someone putting an ad in front of you is different than someone sharing a ticket for an event.

Posture matters when marketing. Hands down inviting people to an experience is far better than interrupting their lives to get some attention.
