subject: Are You Paralyzed By Too Much Information About Online Marketing? [print this page] As many of you may know, I am a huge music fan. Lyrics often
grab me and have me thinking about things in new ways, ways that
I can apply to my online business and marketing strategies,
believe it or not. Yes inspiration comes in many forms. This is
why I take time everyday to open my ears and listen. Two ears
and one mouth means listen twice as much as you speak.
Yesterday I was listening to an old CD from a band not too many
people have every heard of but they were amazing. (They broke
up in the early 90s but, the lead singer still is performing.)
The song is called "Tell Me Like You Know." One of the lines in
the lyric really struck me as it rang true for much of the
struggle I put on myself as I make my way through this online
marketing maze that is constantly changing. The line is "So much
wisdom, clouds your road to freedomah, before you fall apart -
tell me like you know.
Now that line REALLY got me thinking more about my business and
what I could do. So much wisdom, clouds your road to freedom!"
Is that what happens to me and so many of us out there trying to
traverse this ever-changing online marketing journey? Some days
I wake up and hear this sick drone voice in my head, "yes I know
how to do that, yes I know how to do that, blah blah blah.
Then comes the blinding flash of the obvious SO WHAT! So what
if you know all this information? This "wisdom" of knowing "how"
to do whatever marketing tactic I'm thinking of at the moment
means NOTHING unless I actually DO IT! And those with lessor
"wisdom" are meanwhile kicking butt because they are actually
implementing the marketing strategies they've learned into their
business and making money! So ask yourself is your "wisdom"
clouding your road to "freedom"? I've been in that trap and I
say no more. Time to BE, DO & ACT. Take what you have learned
and implement. One marketing strategy implemented is worth 100
left undone.
Don't get me wrong, you must know how to do the
marketing strategies, but learning that stuff is not the issue
anymore. There are many good avenues to get up and running with
enough to make your mark now. We are truly in the information
age, and to those who can read a little and learn from those
who've been down the path before them, it's not difficult.
Bottom line, get yourself educated and get into ACTION, and DO
NOT let "wisdom" ie, knowing every little thing about every
little thing cloud your road to freedom. It's there for the
taking. Yes there are people out there who want to give back,
and who remember what it was like when they started on their
marketing journey, myself being one of them. Oh and thanks Sun60
