Do You Need A “Kick-In-The-Butt”
How often do you need a “kick-in-the-butt” to get moving?
It’s a recognized fact that most people get much more done when they have someone motivating them, than they will on their own (sometimes a LOT more).
This is very true with marketing. I have to keep calling and bug ging some of my clients to get them to do anything. They get hung up on the daily tasks of running their business. They are constantly putting out fires, and so their marketing efforts end up on the back burner.
A trick to keeping on track is to set aside one-hour per day to work on your marketing (and nothing else). Use this time to look for “cost effective” ways to generate new prospects or to develop strategies for increasing sales to your existing customers. If you have trouble doing this on your own, then find someone who will hold you accountable.
Most of the time, a little external “push” or “kick-in the-butt” from somebody who is close to a business owner does wonders to get the ball rolling.

“Don’t fall before you’re pushed.”Failing to allocate specific time for marketing (i.e. the daily grind of running a business) seems to prevent many business owners I know from taking the actionsthat are necessary to market and grow their business in a consistent way.

“Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A word of optimism and hope. A “you can do it” when things are tough.”An outside expert can motivate, persuade, urge, and inspire you to levels that you may have never known before. This is very important, because once you get the energy flow ing, you will find that new ideas come from many differ ent places.
