Marketing with a View from 35,000 Feet

Got a tune up on our bicycles for spring!

Invested the balance of the day in Marketing from 35,000 feet. The 35,000 foot perspective literally changes everything because it causes me to ask myself “Is what I am doing right now coming from the Big Picture”.

The speaking presentation really inspired me to expand on “Being” an Advisor versus “Doing” Sales following through with a book or e-book, speaking presentation and program.

Off to Global TV on Thursday to tape the 30 second TV spots for the nightly news.
