What One Thing Can You Do To Improve Your Marketing?

I don’t know about you, but as much as I love the ease and convenience of online research, the risk of information overload drives me crazy.

Sure it’s great to have the ability to quickly research a generic term such as “marketing professional services”. But apart from the advertisers, who really needs or wants those sponsored links that appear at the beginning of a Google search?

These sponsored links are little more than rabbit holes in waiting.

Should we yield to temptation and follow the links, more often than not we are distracted by solutions that we didn’t know we had. Included in this distraction is the promotion of benefits that typically deliver benefits to professional service firms dramatically different from our own one or two person service businesses.

Unfortunately, these rabbit holes in waiting are not the only sources of distractibility and TMI, also known as too much information or information overload.

Given the widespread ease and convenient access to information, many well-intentioned people can, and often do, offer opinions on what we should or shouldn’t be doing with our lives and businesses.

As helpful as these potentially supportive folks may be, like the rabbit holes in waiting, they achieve little more than adding to the distraction of information overload instead of helping us address issues.

Your One Thing

A better approach to trying to sort through too much information is to focus on one thing…the one thing that you can do to resolve specific issues.

As much as I would love to take credit for the concept behind this phrase Your One Thing, it’s not mine to own.

The ONE Thing is a self-help book by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. The book emphasizes the importance of focusing on one goal at a time.

The simple truth is that to achieve success in any area of life, it is necessary to identify and focus on the one most important task or goal at a time.

By focusing on “one thing” we can minimize distractions and achieve greater results in less time.

When it comes to improving your marketing efforts, there are a few steps you can take to help increase your success.

One of the most effective tactics is to focus on one particular goal at a time. This will allow you to narrow down your efforts and ensure that all of your energy is directed toward achieving that specific goal.

Your to-do list is the ideal tool to maintain this focus. For best results, prioritize the tasks on your list in order the value of the contribution to your marketing; the greater the contribution the higher the priority.

Additionally, it's important to be mindful of the information you consume on?a daily basis. Try limiting yourself to only the most relevant information, as too much information can lead to overwhelm and confusion.

Finally, it’s important to stay organized and create a plan of action that you can refer back to as needed. This will help you stay on track and ensure that all of your efforts are in line with your overarching goal.

Just Do It
