1. Start with a six-month plan. If you are not doing very much marketing or if you are unhappy with your marketing efforts, a six month marketing plan is a good place to start. Schedule some time in your agenda to create a marketing plan. Anticipate marketing opportunities related to holidays or special events like mental health week or national depression screening day.2. Set monthly and weekly marketing goals. Once you’ve developed a six month plan, the next step is to include marketing time in your monthly and weekly agenda. How much time is enough time? If you are seeing less than 10 clients per week a good guideline is to spend at least one day per week on marketing

Personally, I grew up with the philosophy that you needed to work hard to succeed. This doesn't really serve me today.
What I've done for you in this article is identify seven key sources of struggle. For each of these struggles, I'm sharing a remedy. Finally, we'll look at what the rewards are for squelching these struggles!
URGENCY
Struggle: When there is urgency, there is hurry. There is strong emphasis on what is "in your face" and the important things tend to be ignored. A decision made in this mode of thinking can often be one that is not grounded.
Remedy: Take a moment to breathe. Remind yourself that some of those things don't need immediate attention. Just that little pause can give you great perspective.
Reward: Satisfaction in being able to move forward in a purposeful, directed way.
SCARCITY
Struggle: When we feel there isn't enough, we tighten up. We may feel as though there is no support available. Perhaps the financial base isn't what we feel is necessary. How will we get all that we need?
Remedy: Remember that there is always enough. It may be that you just need to do the project in phases as the support comes to you. As you relax into the challenge, more solutions will come to you as to how to get the results you want.

Customers would rather not lose something than save something. If offered the choice to not lose $100, or to save $100, the customer will choose the not lose option. This is an important marketing understanding. Always communicate the consequences to the customer of going without your product. The fear of loss is a much stronger buying motive than the potential to save.For example, take the storm window manufacturer who claims its double-paned windows "Will save you $2.00 a day in reduced energy consumption." It is more effective, more memorable, and more compelling to say, "You are losing $720 a year with your old single-pane windows. Try ABC Double-panes." The gauge and controls company that

When the stock market crashed in 1929, there were a lot of people who lost everything they had. You would think that the result of that event would be complete and utter despair. And, in fact, there were those who reacted that way. There were numerous cases of people who committed suicide because they lost their life savings on that fateful day. They simply went into a depression and just couldn’t bring themselves to go on with life.But there was another group of people who reacted differently. These, too, lost everything and there is no doubt that they were just as devastated at their loss as were the others. It is just that they seemed to have better coping mechanisms. These folks were

I love those timid trainers that try to convince sales novices that there are good, better, and best times to make sales calls.Baloney!There are several reasons this advice is utterly bogus:(1) Are you a mind reader? Can you always psychically detect when the best moment has arrived to call a particular prospect? If you’re this clairvoyant, better take your gift to the racetrack, place some timely bets, and retire while you’re young.(2) There are top executives that arrive at their offices at 6:30 in the morning and don’t leave until 8 at night. When is the best time to reach them? There’s just no way to know.(3) You’re never going to be in a better mood to make cal

Let's say you have a client that agrees to pay for your product or services within two or three months. A promissory note is a legal and binding document that states your client acknowledges they owe the debt and will pay you within a specific amount of time. It may be a contractor that expects to be paid upon completion of a job they are currently working on. You may have a client that is in the process of opening a new restaurant and has ordered a large sum of menus, but cant pay until they open and begin making sales.In essence a client that has requested to pay over an extended period of time is asking you for a loan. They are requesting that you carry their account until they can pay you.
Remedy: Remember that there is always enough. It may be that you just need to do the project in phases as the support comes to you. As you relax into the challenge, more solutions will come to you as to how to get the results you want.
Reward: Your attitude will have a positive effect on those around you. What a great legacy to spread to those who are learning from you!
LACK OF FOCUS
Struggle: Who hasn't found themselves going in circles trying to decide what needs to be done first?
Remedy: List your items and prioritize. Use the Covey quadrants relating to importance and urgency. Once you have decided on those items that are both urgent and important, you know where to start. Work down your priority list from there.
Reward: What a wonderful thing! You may have moved yourself so fluidly through the most pressing, important items that you have the freedom for more personal time. Once you realize you are able to do this, you'll feel more confident scheduling your free days ahead of time, knowing that you'll be in the position to enjoy them!
SELF-IMPOSED DEADLINES
Struggle: Have you ever over promised and then found that you are getting lots of pressure for the finished product at the last minute? Sometimes in the interest of pleasing others and showing how good we are, we say that we can do th
