I think most people just dont have success in them …

Gary Vaynerchuk recently posted a video straight from the hip, heart, and head. In it he talks about DNA and how he’s successful not only because of hustle, but because he doesn’t know how to be anything except successful.

You?

You don’t have it.

You don’t have that DNA.

You’ve never hustled.

You didn’t grow up with the right opportunities.

You think growing up with opportunities matters.

You don’t know how to take currently available opportunities.

You complain a lot.

You don’t see the big picture.

You might have a map, but you’re really bad with directions.

You expect handholding. “Oh if only someone would show me how …”

You think you’re entitled to rewards.

You place blame on others instead of taking control and figuring out what went wrong.

You half ass projects and say they’re failures.

You rarely, if at all, launch projects in the first place.

You’ve never failed.

You don’t seek specified knowledge.

You buy a lot of information – courses, webinars, seminars, conferences – and let it all go in one ear and out the other.

You haven’t learned the very basics of doing work online.

You think “I’m not a techie” is a good excuse.

You haven’t learned the slightest bit about how a real business works.

You don’t enjoy producing content.

You’ve never studied classic marketing or sales literature.

You’ve never written an advertisement.

You’ve never made a sales call and expect to make thousands of dollars insales overnight.

You waste a lot of time on things that don’t matter and then whine that you don’t have enough time to do the things that do.

You spend your free time thinking about doing something.

You tell anyone who will listen what you’re going to do.

You never do anything.

If you hate me now, it’s only because that was true.

Make it false.

Champion senior business manIn 2010 I began to write a book on marketing, but I never got it published in the book I gave 100+ ideas on where and how to market your business.

Now since I did not publish and I will not be publishing it I will publish on this blog. Although I am giving the introduction today I will deliver another piece every Monday.

Hopefully you get something out of that you can use … but please if you find something y0u can use do take action that is what has help so many people behind in their marketing.

Introduction

As a business owner, you know the importance of having other people know about your business. Marketing and advertising is rarely an option. Even those huge companies that you know well continue to marketing and advertise. They ensure a big deal of their profits is reinvested back into their marketing and advertisement campaigns.

 

As a small business owner online or offline marketing your business should be the first order of business without it your business just don’t fly. Don’t be mislead that your business is not big enough to be marketing and the reason probably its not big enough because you are not doing any marketing. Now I don’t mean just throwing anything against the wall marketing when you craft your message it should communicate  the right in order to attract the most ideal prospective clients or customer.

 

One of the biggest concerns a business has is getting their potential clients to know about them. You know you have a great service or product. You are confident that you can WOW the customer with your abilities.

Yet, they do not call nor do they come in to your store. They do not visit your website. The only way to help this process is by spreading the word about your business and letting everyone know what it is and what it can do for them and how you can help them with their needs or wants.

Do you have a strong advertising or marketing background? Most small business owners (offline and online) do not. Yet, you do not need to have this type of advertising or marketing background to find success through advertising means.

The more creative and direct you are, the more successful you will be. Keep in mind some things you do not want to do such as promising more than you can offer. However, be as creative as you can be if you hope to attract new customers to your business and keep your old customers.

In this blog post I will outlines the tips and strategies your business needs to do well in this internet age,  which promises to offer new opportunities, new insight and plenty of profit for those businesses that can provide they can advertise well.

However, this is an area of business that is changing. If you are to find success in your business, you need to stand out from the crowd and approach advertising in new and interesting ways.

If you follow these blog post you will be armed  with the knowledge you will need to build an effective marketing &  advertising plan.

To your success ….

 

 

 

 

marketingI am asked over and over by clients that I do marketing consulting work for is what is the key thing that all business online and offline need to master and I tell them list building.

It seems that no one is building a list accept the big companies.  If you own a business online and offline and you have people that are buying your product and services but you do not have a list then you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Building a list for small business is really simple when someone buy something just asked them would they like to be on your list to find out about new deals and discounts more than likely they would say YES.

In this economy most people are looking to stretch their dollar so of course they are looking to get discounts.

Now once they are on your list make sure you keep in contact with them, just don’t  take their information and never use it.

That reminds me of something a young lady told me years ago when I asked for her number she said “Dial it don’t file it” of course this was before mobile cell phone if it sounds outdated.

I said that to say USE the information that is why they gave it to you but don’t abusive it. Make sure you tell them about changes in your business and specials.

Don’t forget to make  sure it is useful  information.

So whatever you do you should be building your list.

 

Okay this is a little different from what I normally blog about on this site.  Normally it is about something technical or marketing.

A couple of days ago I started to take a No Bread Challenge, well this challenge is a little different as it is not a strict as some challenges. The problem that I found about most challenges is that it is very hard to live up to because it takes away to much from you.

Presently about 6 of my Facebook friends have decided to join me in this challenge . I will keep you updated as how things evolved.

Look forward to more on my No Bread Challenge!!!

I decided to start studying for my SharePoint 2013 Administration certification but I wanted to get up to speed with the enviorment on the best way to do it is to build a Sharepoint 2013 lab.

I opted to build my lab in the cloud … and I was building the lab on Windows Azure. If you need to find step by step guide  to building a lab using Window Azure I recommend you follow the article name  Step-by-Step: Build a FREE SharePoint 2013 Lab in the Cloud with Windows Azure.

Being new to Windows Azure I was working very slowly and I wanted to delete the enviorment that I had built as it  was not fully built and I would have been using my free lab time for on a incomplete lab….

So I decided to delete the lab …. everything went well until I decided to delete the storage I kept getting errors that said Can’t delete storage account..

This went on and on … until I realized that I could not delete the storage until I delete the virtual disk  that I created in the Step By Step tutorial …

So if you run into the same problem make sure that you delete any virtual disk that you have created.
