I'm Tired of What To Do Lists - How About You?

During this time of global crisis, how many ads, stories, posts and commercials to we ‘need’ to see before we just turn off the TV and/or computer and go read a book. Reading a book isn't all bad for I read a lot of books per year when things are going great. BUT REALLY...

It seems everybody wants to tell us ‘how to get through this crisis’ and are happy to give more lists than are realistic.

Let’s consider a different approach. What if people wrote some posts/stories about what they are doing for themselves, their families, friends AND their clients.

Let me start…

I’m reaching out to current and past clients to offer some ideas on what to do with their businesses while the front doors a locked…completely complimentary by the way…

They’ve built and conducted business using the effective principles of the 20th Century – yes 20th…

Effective today, business in the 21st Century has begun. What are you changing right now to position yourself and your company for post-CORVID19? Virtual offices are just as sophisticated as the 40th floor. Some days your workday is from 1 AM to 9 AM and others are 3 PM to 11 PM. If that’s what’s needed to conduct business – then set your alarms accordingly…

One of my very successful client/friends was reacting to the fact that he could not travel to his clients let alone speak from the stage and sell to new clients. The answer? Social Media Video in the form of short 3 to 5 minute “what I’m doing for you” type subjects where you gain industry recognition from the very people who are looking for you. Remember – you’re not selling to the person you’re talking to – you’re sending a message to the 10 people they know who are looking for “YOU.”

I’m the host of something called the Consortium Break which is simply a place to take a coffee/tea break on Monday’s at 3 PM and talk with others like yourself without agendas, sales pitches or giveaways. Follow #consortiumbreak here on LinkedIn. Each week’s link to the breakroom will posted 3 PM each Monday.
