Do It My Way Podcast

Something I have struggled with over the years is progress over perfection. If it doesn't feel "perfect" I don't like putting it out there whether it's on my social media or on a podcast episode. I had a goal to write a book by the time I was 50 and guess what? I'm 51 and my book is launching in a couple of weeks. I struggled getting it out on time because I wanted it to be perfect. Guess what would have happened if I waited until I thought it was perfect? I would have never launched it! Perfectionism often holds back female CEOs and entrepreneurs. We are too worried what we look like, what other people will say vs. thinking of the person on the other side that you are helping. So, if you have a project you have been holding onto until it's perfect, it's time to get it out into the world! Someone needs what you have to succeed!

As I was driving home this past weekend, I noticed there were phonebooks placed at every mailbox in my neighborhood. I had to laugh as I thought to myself, "Is there really still a phonebook?" and better yet, "Are people really still advertising in the phonebook?" Sure enough, it was a full blown phonebook with ads throughout. I took it to work because all of the advertisers in it are GREAT candidates to be educated on the power of digital marketing. And, honestly I would love to hire the salesperson who was able to get all of those people to buy something everyone throws away! That's one heck of a seller! That's what brought me to talk about today's episode which focuses on the power of digital marketing, tracking a lead and following up with your lead. If you are out there and aren't sure how digital marketing works, I would love to set up a free consultation with you. Just go to D2Branding.com and click on Get a Quote!

I was reminded of why it is so important to give more than you receive yesterday when I got a call from an attorney out of L.A. that I talked to back in 2020. He saw something I posted on LinkedIn when we were in the thick of Covid and things weren't looking so good for business owners. I felt helpless myself, but decided that I had knowledge that others could learn from in a time where people really needed it. I started posting marketing tips and ways to market without spending money to help those that put a hold on their marketing because they were trying to keep paying their team. This meant I was giving advice on ways for my own clients to quit and try to do it on their own.
