Market Your Biz Better

There's something strange about The Pause.

I define 'The Pause' as a period of time (could be a few days or a few weeks) where ideas are brewing, thoughts are being mulled over even offers are being dreamed up but NOTHING is being implemented and no action is being taken.
Like a Sit and wait period of time.

Some call it integration, but I felt broken with a capital B.

I've finally learned to respect this time, enjoy it even and after successfully surviving  a 4-week long pause this past month I may officially pause every January! (someone hold me to this please!)

While you are listening…I’d love if you’d take a screen shot and tag me on IG or FB  and let me know your experience with your own PAUSE and how you came out on the other side.

Just off a quick walk in the woods I've recorded a quick episode to help you identify what inspires you?
Inspiration is just one of the elements in my LoveYourBiz Map, you need it - and it helps you Market Better!!!

In this shortie I share with you 4 of my sources for inspiration and I'd LOVE to hear what you do for inspiration!

It's become a trend to host some of my favorite people on my podcast - business owners who are using the internet to reach their dream clients. I hope you enjoy listening to this one! Recently (during a class at his gym) Justin said the words: "Not a Rest, Not a Sprint " to explain the pace he wanted the members to stay at. When I heard this a light-bulb immediately went off in my brain and I grabbed my workout journal and wrote it down. This is an approach we can all practice - in the gym and in our marketing...Not a Rest, Not a Sprint. Listen in to hear what Justin believes is the way to reach your dream client in his online marketing. Learn more about Justin's gym here: http://woodshedstrength.com/ The books Justin mentioned are: Blue Ocean, https://www.blueoceanstrategy.com/ and The War of Art, https://stevenpressfield.com/the-war-of-art/ You can also follow Justin's Gym here: FB @ WoodshedStrengthandConditioning IG: @ WoodshedStrong
