Setting Realistic Expectations: Keys to Achieving Your Big Dreams in Business and Marketing


Listen Later

Text Emily!

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've set myself up for disappointment by painting unrealistic expectations for my marketing and business.  I've gotten all hyped up and excited thinking: THIS is the moment. It's all about to blow up, go gangbusters, etc. And it pretty much never ends up like that or works that way. 

Instead, it takes lots of consistent hard work, daily time, effort, attention, and making sure I’m laser-focused on which direction I want to be going in and what I want for my life and business. 

In this week's episode, we're going to talk about big, bold, audacious goals, and setting REALISTIC expectations around our marketing and visibility. 

What's inside: 

  • Three questions to ask yourself to spur big dreaming 
  • How the online space can set us up for disappointment
  • Four things to consider when setting realistic expectations around your marketing and visibility efforts 
  • Considering your marketing on the whole 
  • Perfection right out of the gate is unrealistic 
  • One-side-doesn't-fit-all 
  • If you build it, they'll come IF...
  • And more!

Questions For Your Reflection:

  3. What’s realistic this year for YOU to achieve right now? What steps do you need to get there? Can you nudge yourself just a bit further and dream a smidge bigger? How can you stretch your goals just a little bit more? Make your dream a little bolder and edgier.
