Learning by Doing Marketing

It’s great and it stinks at the same time.

Slightly intimidating.

There are times when I have to push against my own procrastination. When you are a kid you never consider failure, it doesn’t cross your mind. Your intent is to do something and you just do it. How many great things have been accomplished by those too stupid to know it was something they couldn’t do?

As we get older we raise our expectations of results so high this creates the stress that causes us to hold back. Then we lose a lot. Like the joy of discovery.

Great Things Can Happen

Think about when you write, how many times a great phrase just poured out as you wrote? Then you remembered some story that fit right in and added punch to the idea? Then think about how you may sit sometimes and pre suppose the idea you have to write about is not a good one or it is just not going to have enough content to really have it work? Well you are wrong because you only really know when you are writing what is really going to come out.

Life is like that. Marketing can be an adventure. There will be problems and obstacles..duh. Nobody can anticipate many of these problems and what’s more you cannot anticipate many of the solutions. You have to trust in your own abilities and resourcefulness.

Realize your ideas of the negative outcome are not based in reality. You do not have all the information until your are involved in the process.
