==>
People are always
asking me for advice...
about things like:
internet marketing,
blogging, creating
products, starting
a coaching program
or membership site,
do Facebook ads,
run a Twitter account,
buy solo ads or PPC,
etc....
I know why they're
asking me these
things, and I'm
almost always right.
It's because all
these thing serve
as distractions.
They allow people
procrastinate.
Instead of rolling
up their sleeves
and getting down
to running a
business.. they
keep looking for
a "miracle"...
a silver bullet,
a 4-leaf clover.
But I think you
know the difference.
I think you know
that buying every
known training and
every new slick
software can really
throw you backwards,
even though people
do these things to
improve their business.
Now, here's the thing.
I sell those things.
You see me offering
courses, trainings
and software.
Often, it's my own
courses, masterminds
and coaching.
Sometimes, they're
affiliate offers.
But I TRY to always
remind you to please,
please don't be buying
anything from me or
anyone else unless it
fits your business
model.
I don't... I really
don't want you buying
anything at all unless
it's something that
can really help your
business.
I offer lots of things.
I don't offer anything
unless I absolutely
believe it is good and
valuable.
But if you don't need
it, then don't buy it
because you think it
will be a magic pill
of some sort.
It won't be.
Nothing will be.
Buy it if it can be
of help to you, though.
I buy things all the
time.
And I never return it
if it doesn't meet my
expectations.
That's because I always
find value in the things
I buy.
That's because I know
the people selling it,
and I know it's something
I can use.
In other words, know
your business.
Know that there are
things you will need
to learn and invest
in to run a successful
business.
But other things will
just distract you.
When I, or anyone else,
offers you things, it
may be great stuff,
but it may or may not
be something you need.
Only you can decide
that.
It's just as foolish
to refuse to buy
anything b/c you're
being "careful" or
"prudent."
You need to have
an arsenal of training
and tools to put your
business together.
Did you ever have a
doctor who refused
to "waste" money by
going to medical school?
I hope not :)
So, again, here's the
thing... don't just
be asking me about
Facebook ads because
you're frustrated with
what you're currently
doing to get traffic
or buyers.
Ask first, what you
might be doing wrong
in your business before
just trashing your entire
game plan and going off
in a whole new direction.
You can do that once in
a while, but if you find
yourself repeating that
pattern of behavior,
don't asking me why you're
not getting the results
you want.
I just told you why.
Keep your head high, keep
working your plan and
make it happen.
If you're having trouble,
shoot me an email about
it before throwing out
"the baby with the
bath water."
Often, you don't need
new stuff, you don't
need to jump ship...
You just need a minor
tweak here and there
to what you're doing
right now.
I'm happy to help you
figure that out.
Drop me a note anytime.
That should be one of
the values you get by
being a subscriber to
this newsletter.
Sorry this is kind of
late in the mail, but
I had a dental thing...
very funny story...
but a story for another
time.
It's nearly 9pm EST
so I'd better get this
out for all you folks
who head to bed early.
Talk soon,
Donna
