Have you ever been asked at the end of the week, “How was your week?  What did you do?”  And as you paused to respond, did you recall only how busy you were; not a single thing you actually did?  YOU ARE NOT ALONE!  This happens to many of us.  We’re 100 percent “taking care of business,” but are we being proactive or reactive?

Too often we’re being reactive; just handling what comes at us and then getting to the other important stuff as we have time for it.  The key is to be proactive.  By tracking your time and deliberately addressing the most critical tasks first, you’ll see how much more productive you can be, and also how much you can hand off to others on your team.

And the best part is, you’ll become more organized and better prepared for those reactive situations that tend to come up, because you’ll have systems in place.

Too many of us are hesitant to spend money implementing email marketing or designing a great business website.  Or maybe we don’t have time to do it all ourselves.

Instead of constantly avoiding these potentially huge advancements for your business because “you’ve never done it before,” why not just dive in, and see how much your business can grow along with your customer loyalty.

Learn what a sales funnel is, why email marketing is important, and why you shouldn’t be afraid of any of it.  In this episode I get to chat with Brian Hermansen, whose company BrandStack helps businesses develop their e-commerce footprint.

You may not want to listen to this episode.  I tell a story that even my own mother doesn’t know.  It’s a near death experience I had in Zimbabwe when I was serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  I relate this story to making decisions in our lives, not being scared to take action, and allowing our first attempts to not be perfect.

It’s time to not listen to the negative people around us and just take action.  They aren’t the ones who we’re doing it for anyways.  We all have that higher reason WHY we are doing what we do.
