Are you in the flower-holding stage of your business yet? If you're not there yet, the day will come when— You'll hold on to the stalk of a flower with one hand. With the other hand, you'll pull the petals. And you'll slowly repeat the words, "To niche". "To niche not." (Can you tell that I made that up? 'Flower-holding stage,' I mean.) Everyone, including your gardener, would have told you the same thing: "Niching down is one of the best ways to scale your business." But you'll pull at the petals nonetheless. You'll want a sign. And guess what? The last petal would fall on 'To niche.' Do you know why? In Flowerworld, they?are taught?that niching down is?good?for: - Building expertise. - Standing out from the nicheless crowd. - Better targeted marketing. - And lots more. (Don't ask me how I know. ?? ) That said, listen to your gardener and your flowers. LOL.

How I rescued my lost sword from the freezing forest river will give you the greatest marketing perspective that will help you gain the upper hand in your niche. ?? I was just exploring new territory with my antique sword, and everything was going as smoothly as butter. ?? Until I had to cross the freezing river on a narrow, slippery tree, as this was the only way to keep exploring. The first time I was totally fine, but the second time, oh boy. On the way back, I slipped and fell, and the water was so deep that I dove to my hair. I quickly jumped out of the river, but my sword was missing. I had dropped it in the water. ??? I instantly jumped back in, and for 10 minutes straight, I searched for it in the freezing water with no success. I blamed the forest, my shoes, and the climate, but until I started to blame myself, I didn't find my sword. See, until we start seeing our problems, including marketing problems, as ours and ours alone, we will never solve them. What I am trying to say is that there is a marketing problem in your business, and you are either too blind to see it for yourself or too scared to admit it is yours to fix! #MarketingMetaphor #SwordStoryMarketing #StrategicApproach #SharpMarketingStrategies #CraftingSuccess #BladeOfBranding #CuttingEdgeMarketing #SwordOfStrategy #MarketingMastery #ForgeYourBrand #SharperAdvertising #BattleOfBrands #MarketingWeaponry #SwordAndStrategy #VictoriousMarketing #EdgeInAdvertising #CraftingCampaigns #StorytellingInMarketing #BrandWarriors #SwordSymbolism

This picture from Samantha Marshall, MBA, M.Photog.Cr., CPP, CBC shows me with my FAVORITE time of year in the vineyard: VERASION. ?? It's when the grapes are going from liiiiiittle green babies (called fruit set) to being full, ripening juice-producing grapes. They don't just jump from pea sized green buds to big ol' purple grapes- they go through a process and need time to adapt to the environment around them to complete the process- weather, vineyard conditions, and other exterior factors. ?? BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. The roots have to DIG DEEP to get to the nutrients that are CRUCIAL to this growth. All the sun, water, pruning, love and care from the outside mean NOTHING if the vines themSELVES aren't also working toward that success. You can't rely on JUST ads, friends, or even reputation to sustain and scale your business. You need healthy roots WITHIN for sustained growth and success. Many of those roots start with your community... ? How strong are they? ?How deep do they run? ?How do you show up digitally to attract the people who can contribute to your success, AND give you an opportunity enhance THEIR lives and businesses as well?
