I totally agree with your comments. Reminds me of that saying “you get what you focus on”.

Hi Jim

I so agree with you here. I’ve found it invaluable to watch and learn from successful businesses in my sector.

I’ve gained so much from doing this – it’s been such a rich source of inspiration and ideas.

Though of course it’s also important to remember to capture the gems from what you learn and use your own style and thoughts to make them work in your business. There’s a risk of getting hung up on how successful other people are and losing sight of how much you personally have to offer.

Thanks for this post
Karen

Until you know EXACTLY who your target, prospective clients are, you are not ready to start marketing.

I strongly recommend focusing on a niche and being 100% relevant to that niche.

If you sound totally relevant to a section of the marketplace, they will find your words resonating with them, in as way that’s not possible when targeting everyone.

Define your niche and focus everything on serving that niche as well as you possibly can.

Write every word of your marketing exclusively for that niche.

It’s what I do and it works.

Absolutely Tom. Life is just too short to learn exclusively from our own mistakes.
