Do Not Let Envy of the Competition Crush Your Progress

Do Not Let Envy of the Competition Crush Your Progress

Random Chats
Have you heard the adage, "don't compare your beginning to another person's middle." It goes something like that... The point of this adage, the reason we have to take heed, especially us entrepreneurs, is that we often see where is a person is today and we play the comparison game. The problem is that we don't know how long that person has been in the game. How many hours they work every week, grinding, sacrificing, investing time and money, etc. We don't know their story or their struggle. All we see is the glory, we don't see the guts.  This breeds that hungry green eyed monster, E-N-V-Y. Envy of the Competition When you’re resentful that your competition has what you’d like to have, or accomplishes what you’d like to do,…

Complacency Will Keep You Broke

You’ve heard the story about how if you put a frog in a pot of boiling water, he’ll jump right out. But if you put a frog in water and slowly turn up the heat, he’ll boil to death. While this is a myth, it’s also a metaphor for life and shines the light on how you need to take charge to prevent complacency from setting in. What is Complacency? Complacency means that you’re content with where you’re at in life and with what you’re doing. You’ve found your comfort zone and you’re sticking with it. Being complacent is not a good thing because what it does is keep you stuck exactly where you are. When you’re complacent, you don’t try to learn and improve your skills or your business.…

Why Email Marketing Is Not Working for You (Infographic)

Email Marketing
The foundation of email marketing lies in the ease by which you can communicate with people who have invited you into their inbox. So often, we concern ourselves the logistical aspects of email marketing, things like Finding the best tool for creating landing pages Crafting the perfect call to action The difference between autoresponders and broadcast emails How to increase optin and open rates Striking the perfect balance of sales and informational emails, etc. We’re so focused on the technical side and sales funnels that we lose sight of the needs of the subscriber. When we lose touch with the reason that coveted subscriber invited us into their inbox in the first place, our rates of performance start to diminish. Each subscriber becomes a number, and the strength of our…

What is a Joint Venture Partnership? (and Why You Need a Few)

Marketing Strategy
Every business has a goal: to sell something. We all have products and services to sell. Part of running a business requires us to find some folks to buy our stuff. In order to find customers we have to do some marketing. Our goal with marketing is pretty simple: get as many eyeballs on our products and services as we can so that people can hit the buy button. There are many ways we can go about getting these eyeballs. We can do it the loooong way, by building our own brand, spending our own money on ads, and investing time and countless resources into our business. We can build affiliate programs in the hopes that other people will help promote our products.  Of course the challenge with this is that many…

There is No Technical Task You Cannot Conquer

It’s easy to get frustrated when you come across a technical task that you don’t know how to do. When you’re ready to move forward and get stuck by a lack of know-how, it can start that negative chatter running through your head again:  I'm no good at this? What was I thinking? Why am I even trying to do this anyway? I want some french fries... During times like this we have to keep in mind that no one has all of the knowledge they need to do everything. None of us are born knowing what we need to do.  None of us. We learn as we grow and the same holds true when it comes to being an entrepreneur. We all start at ZERO. I’ll say it again,…
