If you answered yes, let me first congratulate you. A decision is a goal that has been made. Next, let me ask you what clear action steps are you
 taking right now to get your goal?

I am sure you have heard the old adage attributed to Albert Einstein: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Now is the time to take new, innovative, and consistent action in order to attract new leads, clients and revenue.

If you are like many small business owners, you are looking to upgrade your sales and marketing efforts, but you are not sure what to do or how to start. Often other more immediate things get in the way and your good intentions never come to fruition.

I am sure you have lots of great reasons for not getting to your sales and marketing, including your social media activities. The truth is, however, without consistent action over time, whatever you do in any of these areas will not grow your business in any significant way.

I understand. I know it can be frustrating.

That is why I am determined to do everything I can to provide affordable and practical business development programs that will quickly and easily grow your business, including an easy solution that will provide a strong boost for your business and give you a solid foundation from which to grow and flourish.

To find out more, just go here. This is a brand new offering that I have designed with two goals in mind: quick results and making the most of your valuable time. This four week program starts this Monday, so you need to move quickly.

P.S. There is a bonus at the bottom of the page that is invaluable and worth three times the cost of the program—if you register in the next two days. Visit http://www.attractclientswithease.com/bbintensive.htm now.

I hope so.

I was speaking today with the head of a communications firm who has been growing her business every year for the past several years and now her revenue has plummeted. Here is why: all her clients were in the real estate development industry: that industry that has also plummeted. The question is clear- I ask it of you: Are you serving only one industry?  Is that industry suffering? Is it time to diversify your client portfolio?

I do agree with the idea of going deep in a niche, or becoming a big expert in a small pond. However, perhaps it is time to rethink the basic premise of creating a niche and instead ask if it is time to start a second niche or a second specialty. For example, if your firm provides high- end catering perhaps it is time to build a box lunch business, if your firm specializes in professional organizing for people working from home, perhaps it is time to add professional organizing for small offices.

Here is one of my big secrets- I have 3 business cards- the business is the same, business coaching, consulting and speaking, however the niches are different. It may be time for you to get a second or third card. Is it more work? Yes. Does it cost more to market to two niches? Yes.  Is it more profitable? Absolutely, and more importantly, it makes your business less vulnerable. Our world is changing ever faster, business is changing ever faster. One of the ways to ensure your business remains stable is to diversify. Let me know your thoughts.

Here’s one example: http://www.jackhumphrey.com/fridaytrafficreport/

If you already have a regular website, look at adding a blog.  However, if you are just starting to have a web presence, you can take a look at using the blog format instead of a standard website format. They can both be value-based.

One last thing about using a blog format for your website—I have heard that search engines really like blogs, since you are always adding new content and it is easy for those robots to find.
