🎧"I’m getting a bit discouraged with my marketing efforts not getting responses. I’m on a tight budget and can’t spend much. I am emailing firms if they need extra outsourced help, posting in groups, asking current clients for any referrals and not much happening. I guess just need words of encouragement. Thanks!"

🔥 Discouraged by Crickets? You’re Not Alone.

On this episode of Bookkeepers on Fire, Debbie and Donna lit up the truth about slow marketing results and how to stay motivated when the inbox is empty and the budget is tight. 🎙️💼

🔹 Mindset Matters – Stop telling yourself you can’t afford to grow. Think abundance, not limitation. 🧠

🔸 Visibility is Currency – Speak at local clubs, write LinkedIn articles, volunteer, or just strike up conversations—every interaction is a potential lead. 📢

🔹 Show Up Everywhere – YouTube, forums, Upwork, and yes—even the tire shop. The more people you meet, the more magic happens. 🪄

 🔸 Referrals Come Later – Clients often come back years later after one helpful moment. Plant seeds now; the harvest will come. 🌾

🔹 Training ≠ “Small” Client – Even one-time training clients add credibility, referrals, and impact. Don’t overlook their value. 💡

🔸 Be Human – Clients remember how you made them feel, not just what you taught. That’s where the real loyalty lies. 🤝

🔥 Stay visible. Stay kind. Stay fiery.
   If you're in this stage too, you're not alone! You're building something amazing, one "no" at a time. 💼🔥
