Lemonade Marketing

Guest post by: Craig Jennings

Article Overview: If you're loaded with lemons, one solution is to make Lemonade. And a lot of entrepreneurs have been doing that lately. Here are some ideas on turning panic into profit, and on a mind-set which will serve you well in any circumstances. Don't laugh - that mindset of yours has carried you through when freinds and family have given you negative advice.

Lemonade Marketing

Lemonade Marketing!

Entrepreneurs these days are living with lemons, and making lemonade! And many are looking for new ideas, prospects, and sources of assistance.

Or, to be brief, saving time and saving money.

If you think it's time for a new look, I'd be happy to have a look with you. I'll do it without cost to you.

Most businesses find these times difficult - demand is suppressed, credit is hard to find, cash flows in the wrong direction, doubt and fear abound. Yet there are big opportunities for those who look, who expand their marketing, who get their websites to pay them back. And I work with 25 successful coaching clients who are marketing more, getting more clients, enjoying the lemonade.

Lemonade Marketing involves:

1. An entrepreneur assessment.

2. A marketing review and re-commitment

3. A set of new goals and objectives.

4. Action! Action! Action!

To begin, email me, - see my profile at Evean Carfmchael .

On the subject line: Lemonade Marketing.

When you register, you'll receive an entrepreneur assessment. It will give you a brief overview of where you are, and suggest where you might want to go.

Depending on your interests, I'll point you at some of the articles I've written. They're on Evan Carmichael, and on my website. They contain ideas and actions designed for immediate use by entrepreneurs: How do you manage time (or does it manage you?) how do you market, manage others, manage yourself! Then there's the R.O.I. dilemma! We'd like the return before we make the investment, right? And sales.

No business survives without it.

These articles follow the ROI model. The time you invest (in reading them) is small. The payoff can be huge.

Here's an example:

One of my clients, Reena, was having trouble "getting things done." We had a quick conversation. Here's her response. "Craig - the best thing I ever did - "Reena time!" I got so much done in a couple of days that I haven't been able to do in a long time. I wrote things down and I feel I have a plan for now."

Another example:

Steve had bought a music school, showed me a wonky balance sheet, thought he might be losing money. (He was!) He complained that he was working 24/7, didn't get to play and perform much anymore, really not happy at all.

Three years later, Steve is clearly the CEO. He understands every number on his balance sheet now, including the positive net income and equity numbers, has hired 3 managers, is playing and performing, and has decided to go after a long-deferred PhD in his spare time!

Putting it bluntly, a business coach is only successful when his customers are successful.

Register now, and I'll send you the assessment and free marketing newsletters.

To receive them, register here for Lemonade Marketing:

This also entitles you to a free "Strategy Session" where we review your assessment,

Here's my intention: to put money in your pocket either way.
