Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
Oh how a marketer can focus on telling all the selling points.
And they focus on time spent on page and bounce rates.
Let’s not forget about sharing the backstory and the future innovations in motion.
Alas, many a marketer forgets to gauge their work by the joy one feels when reading/listening/consuming it.
Where there is joy, there are sales and time investments and loyalty.

With time you can get smarter and know more about a lot.
With time you can build up a true following.
With time you can write a book that changes the life of thousands.
With time you can achieve a lot.
Rather, with time and action.
Time can’t do much on its own.
It needs you to show up and put in the work, the reading, the connecting…

Giving something tangible is nice.
Giving your time and attention is even nicer.
But giving someone a connection with someone else that might change their life?
That’s real generosity.

Your project, copy, invention, website – you name it – will start to work at some point, but… is it interesting?
The real artists keep pushing the envelope until it is. The brands that are worth talking about do the same.
There’s no shortage of goods and services that work, but there is a shortage of goods and services that impress, wow and impact in a way that people can’t help but tell another about.

It’s not easy to tell you care by how you price something.
But it is easy to tell how you care by how you answer the phone.
It’s not easy to tell you care by where you are located.
But it is easy to tell how you care by how clean your bathrooms are.
All the fine points of running a business signal that you want to run a business, but all the other points that don’t necessarily drive revenue are what show you care.
Funny enough, people like buying from people who they know give a damn.
Is it clear you do?

You give a big sigh.
You grab your phone to open Facebook.
You start to feel frustrated.
You think about a task that’s easier to do and quickly.
All these are signs that are worth noticing because they’re proof that you’re doing meaningful work, vulnerable work, hard work.
You’re putting in the emotional labor and it shows by the presence of resistance; by the urge to hide; by the signs that are convincing you to do something else.

Reach out.
Reach out to an expert for some advice.
Reach out to a friend to chat.
Reach out to someone outside your industry to hear what they’re stuck with.
Reach out to someone on LinkedIn whom you share a connection with.
Life is a lot like business, the more you reach out, the better it gets.
