In case you missed any of the valuable info during the 12 Days of DemGen, you can find it all here at The Entrepreneurial Way!
We hope the following list will help you stay on track for 2012 and beyond!
1) Focus on Your Unique Skills
We all have special gifts. What are yours? There are things you can do that no one else can.
Take the time to take full account of your unique abilities!
Knowing the gift you have to share with the world will help your career – if you work for a company – and your business if you’re an entrepreneur.
The current state of the economy calls to each of us to operate at our full capacity in order to succeed. You need to know where you’re coming from to know where you’re going.
Virtual business development teams are the way of the future.
We don’t often like to brag, but this knowledge is worth sharing. We’ve been helping businesses grow for over six years now. Our team has the experience and skills to know what they’re doing, in any field entrepreneurs need.
We recommend that you investigate and evaluate all of your options. We’re confident that our value will be revealed and you will find our virtual business development services are second to none! (And that’s not our opinion – just ask our clients!)
1) Know Your Ideal Clients
There is no substitute to knowing your ideal clients. Who are they? What do they want? What do they need?
You have unique skills and services that only you can provide and your target market requires. That should be the prime focus.
Before you begin with any marketing campaigns, email or otherwise, it’s essential to know everything you can about your ideal client.
Craft your email messaging (and marketing in general) specifically to your target market. Beyond helping you achieve your goals faster, it will save you time by not having to respond to unqualified leads.
1) The Power of Less by Leo Babauta
The old saying is true. Less is really more!
These days we’re all exceptionally busy. The Power of Less provides six essential productivity principles that will change your life.
1. Truly Know Yourself and Your Business
Be sure you’re running your business and it’s not running you.
It seems like it goes without saying, but many entrepreneurs that contact us have lost sight of their overall purpose and master plan in focusing on day-to-day business operations.
What was your original vision when you started your business? Who are your ideal clients? Are you focusing on the big picture or getting lost in operating activities?
When Walter Bick, Bick Pickle’s co-founder passed away just over a week ago, I thought to myself, what a legacy! If only all business owners and entrepreneurs could contribute to history and the happiness of others in this way.
All of us have a talent, a deep love of doing something, which distinguishes us from others – some distinct skill, something that we love to do. We don’t think of as special. It comes naturally to us. Immersing ourselves in this activity doesn’t seem like hard work, we enjoy it!
Our accomplishments that result from this natural talent far surpass the amount of effort we have to put in. Someone else may come along and point out to us the unique aspect of something we do and then we notice this as our natural aptitude.
Seeing as this is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada I wanted to give thanks to the things I most appreciate about working from home:
We are saturated with emails, blogs and RSS feeds offering us tips on managing our time, advice for improving our social media efforts, tidbits and tips on every aspect of our business. There are webinars on managing a team, how to work effectively from home … the list goes on!
