No matter what month it is, you have the opportunity to make your business better and stronger every day. You know it’s in your own hands, right? Yes, it is totally your responsibility. This is not something you can blame on others. I know because I tried to do that! It didn’t work. The bottom line is that it’s up to you. So what can you do, right now, to make your business better and more financially stable?

I don’t know where you are in your business right now, but let me give you some ideas of things you may not have done before, or maybe you have, but they didn’t go as well as you planned, so you gave up. in them. Sometimes it’s just the timing, so it may be worth doing it again.

Yes, this list could go on and on. My point is that there are many ways to grow your business and serve others with your gifts and experience. Don’t deny people what you have to offer.

I think that’s the most important message of all.

Do you understand that? I know that none of us, or most of us, don’t like marketing. But in all honesty, if you don’t market, you won’t have a business.

It’s not like the old days where you could ‘hang your shingle’ and people would flock to you. I have to say that when I had my therapy business for 23 years, I never, ever marketed myself. But I didn’t have to. I was in a medical building.

But now it is different. You ‘should’ be doing some form of marketing every day. Even if it’s just a Facebook post telling people what you do. So for this day, this month, this year, please put yourself out there. Let people know that you exist and what you offer. Let them know how you can serve them. They love you and need you.

If this makes you feel better, consider it “service-based marketing.” This really is what you are doing. You are letting people know what your gifts are, what your strengths are, and how you can give them the results they want and want. Simple as that.
