The Only Person You are Destined to be is the Person You Decide to Be- Ralph Waldo EmersonYes, a phrase originally heard on each of my wonderful visits to England.

"Anyone who lives within their means suffersfrom a lack of imagination."– OSCAR WILDEPaid advertising has generated sales for many years. It’s been television, radio, newspapers, magazines, movie theaters, billboards, buses, plastic-wrapped coupons, online, skywriting - you name it. Each costs Money, frequently a lot of it.Then there’s the publicity and editorial route to reach and attract potential buyers. Interviews at different times of day and night, voice, video, print, speaking on podcasts or at summits. This takes time and sometimes money, once the audience is identified and which…

“Good marketing makes the company look smart. Great marketing makes the customer feel smart.”– Joe ChernovA typical first thought you and many Subject Matter Experts have is to post your tips on your website and your social media platforms. After all, it’s good marketing - made even better when adding an invitation that drives people back to your website.Yes, that’s true.Another frequent thought is to distribute a format of your tips free to workshop attendees or audiences when being interviewed, providing handouts in live or virtual settings. Better yet, add an invitation to your ti…

Are you compelled to jump on the bandwagon, right along with thousands of other people who also think that new bright shiny object is a fantastic idea?Or does it occur to you that you may very well get swallowed up in a sea of sameness by taking that route, following a plan, a design, a roadmap of coloring between the lines, painting by numbers?

“The meaning of life is to find your gift.The purpose of life is to give it away.”- Pablo PicassoAs a consultant, speaker, coach, author, or other subject matter expert, a concern you may have is ways to be generous with your knowledge “without giving away the farm.”It’s pretty impossible to ever tell your reader or listener everything you know on your topic. Think of how many years you’ve been in your business, even if you are a newcomer. There is really no way you could tell anyone everything you know.Even if you give them a LOT of information, they are not you. They process what…
