I am really good at telling others how to do marketing but won't do it for myself. What can I do to move forward?

Hi Victoria, You and Me Sister! I feel like I read then I share, I find out something new and then I share, most of my conversations started off like, "You know what you should do..." Then one day, I got called out on it. Someone said to me, isn't it funny how you have a lot of marketing advice that you're not even following. Ugh, that was the worst.

So I decided to sit down and write out in a google doc all the fab advice I would give to someone else, and I ended up creating a guide. So now I do it, I have a little help, but I still do the jist of it. I just created a document and thought, if I were to give someone advice on Video Marketing, what would I say? And I just wrote out all the things that I learned. From there I kinda reverse engineered a process. I have done it for just about everything that I want to market, and because of that when I am able to hand it off to an employee in the future, I can be assured that I do know what I'm talking about because I wrote it and did it.

I hope this helps, good luck!

Thank you so much Justiss. What a good idea. I will try it. Bottom line it could end up as a book.

Much appreciated.

Hey Victoria,

This is one of the most common (and biggest) challenges most of the entrepreneurs face. What works here is having a VA who takes care of the grunt work (funny but 80% of the work is grunt work). Considering focusing upon only business development such as networking with fellow entrepreneurs, business owners and clients, thinking of new content ideas and writing a quick brief, delivering best of your business services, picking up just one social network to begin with and posting awesome content (it is okay to just post twice a week as long as it's useful). Leave the marketing to marketers only :) they love doing it and you do what you love doing.

Hope this helps. Cheers! :) Sunita

This means your doing good in the progression of your business. Just keep thinking about it and also write your thoughts down. Either in a small notepad or on your phone. One day you will have a windfall of what you need to do to get your venture doing the things you suggest to others. Again, this is perfectly natural what your experiencing and no need to reply but thanks as well. Good Luck Victoria.
