If you are starting a business or are in the process of investing further into your existing business in order to take it to the next level, it is important that you keep the faith and keep moving forward until you have created enough momentum to keep your business moving into the black. If you have a viable product, a large enough targeted customer base identified that needs your product, you know where to find and market to these customers, and you have the correct marketing message for these customers; then if you and your sales team have the proper sales skills, it is usually a matter of time, effort, and persistence until your hard work pays off.

How are you doing today? I hope you are having a very prosperous day. If you own an ezine or mailing list, you know how important it is to get subscribers, especially if you want to tell them about your products and services, or you just want to inform people in your mailing list about information that could help them. It could be very frustrating if it seems like your mailing list is not responding, right? "

Our world of selling is closed off from other areas of business that continue to adopt and embrace new, efficient ideas. I was reminded of this recently while re-reading Seth Godin's "Permission Marketing." Here's a book that was intended for business owners and marketing executives, yet it provides a much-needed dose of common sense that would be of great benefit to sales organizations, especially sales managers, who continue to cling to very old, and, in their minds, very right, ideas. Unfortunately, our brave new world has made these old ideas very wrong."

*If we have little idea of what we really want from our lives, or what a soulful approach might mean, then often the only entrance we have into soul comes from the ability to say a firm no to those things we intuit lead to a loss of vitality....But in the continuous utterance of the no is a profound faith that the yes will appear....One way to come to yes is to say no to everything that does not nourish and entice our secret inner life out into the world.* David Whyte, *The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America.* If you're longing for something to say yes to other than another pile of paperwork, this book will help keep your heart in your work- or get you out of work that doesn't have heart. Order it at: http://www.amazon.com. Keep in mind what you're trying to accomplish when you're marketing yourself so you can use your inner and outer resources most effectively."
