In this conversation from our archive, Andrea Butcher of <a href='https://hrdleadership.com/'>HRD  - A Leadership Development Company </a>shares why she  believes you should live life by design, not by default.  Taking control of your daily activities starts with a long term vision - where do you want to be in ten years. 
Once you have the vision, you can begin to think about what you can do this week to move closer to that goal.  And on  a daily basis, defining what is the most important thing for you to do today.  
Although the conversation is four years old. Her suggestions are as relevant today as they were the day we first recorded the conversation.

More than a Few Words - A Marketing Conversation is a smart, down-to-earth show about what’s really working in marketing and what isn’t.  All in about 10 minutes. 

Every week, Lorraine Ball sits down with marketers, entrepreneurs, and the occasional mischief-maker.  Some are seasoned pros. Others are figuring it out as they go. But all of them share tips you can use. And stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

No fluff, no jargon, just real-world lessons, actionable ideas, and a peek behind the curtain of what actually works.

What You’ll Hear:
• Real talk with real experts—marketers, creatives, business owners who’ve been in the trenches.
• Marketing strategies you can actually use—no jargon, no gatekeeping.
• Encouragement without the ego—especially for women building bold businesses on their own terms.
• A mix of wit, wisdom, and the occasional marketing metaphor—because learning should feel like a good conversation, not a lecture.

We’ll unpack what’s working, what’s not, and what’s changing in the digital marketing world so you can spend less time guessing and more time growing.

Whether you’re growing a brand from your kitchen table or the corner office, you’ll find ideas, inspiration, and a few laughs along the way.
