For decades, I wanted to send birthday and anniversary cards to my extended family. And every year, I didn’t do it. For some reason, I just couldn’t get my act together. I was stuck.
Until this year when I made a remarkable discovery that I would categorize under “Blinding Flash of the Obvious.”
Focusing on actually sending cards kept me stuck, because there was actually a critical step I needed to take BEFORE sending the cards. The step I was missing? Putting together a list of names, birthdays and addresses. (forehead smack!)
You see, I was stuck for decades because I didn’t realize my success hinged on a critical, simple missing step.
Can you relate? Here are some examples I see in business
You want: More clients
Missing step: Marketing Action Plan
You want: More income
Missing step: Making paid offers to prospects
You want: Prospects to remember you
Missing step: Follow up systems
