“Be so busy giving recognition to others that you don’t really need it for yourself” - Jim RohnI think that often times those of us that do a lot of work for others very rarely get any recognition for the work that we do. Unless we do something about it, or we understand how to behave like a great leader, this can in turn result in feeling demotivated, bitter and frustrated. We get pissed off because it feels like no one cares about the work we’re doing. It might also be the case that people around you are getting recognition for the work that you do for them, and you sit in the background. This isn’t a good feeling to have, unless you can turn the tables on it. And my starting point for you is to embrace the advice from Jim Rohn - get busy giving people recognition for their work. Instead of looking for it yourself, give it to others. Trust me, this will replace your need for recognition. What will start to happen, is that when you start to give, you will receive. But, it all starts with giving.In this podcast I share some of the examples of where recognition has worked for me, what the outcomes can look like, and where you can get started. Enjoy the show and DFTBA!Chris.

One of the major excuses we get for why people don’t do content marketing is that they don’t have the time. So how is it that some people find the time and others don’t? We all have the same amount of time, it’s how we choose to use it that’s the most important factor. This is what people say: “I hear what you are saying, but I’ve already got a tonne of work to do, and you’re are saying I have more work to do. How willI fit it all in?”Or“I don’t have the time to write blog articles” Or “I’d really love to do more content marketing but I just don’t have the time” So, what can we do about it? How can we make a few changes now, so that next year you are doing more of the right things, you feel like you’ve got control of your time, and you and your business grows as a result?Let's get in to it.

I do a few hundred coaching calls a year, and often times people will say “We’re doing content marketing but we aren’t getting any customers” or “we’ve tried content marketing, but it doesn’t work” or “our website isn’t generating any traffic, leads or sales”.Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that probably means you aren’t really doing content marketing.So what's the gap? The gap is understanding that SEO is the 'marketing' part of 'content marketing' - they are one and the same thing.So if you want to improve your results with your content, SEO is where you should be focussing your attention.
