If you’ve ever made excuses that have cost you, and have caused you deep regret

Facebook Fan Page under-developed marketing
How do we feel when we are asked to do something and the only reason is because it will benefit someone else?

 

under-developed marketing often is the only standard many know (and use)
Would even a small amount of backstory, or description help us understand why we should act?

 

If you’ve ever made excuses that have cost you, and have caused you deep regret, and yet you still hold onto hope that it’s not over yet, and if you have been searching for a long time for the permission to change – to act differently than in your past life…

PS. Excuses, regrets, opportunity, and permission? Story of my life.

Midlife Celebration’s jeff noel Often Pushes Humility Aside Because He’s VP Of Marketing

Jesus was the ultimate humble marketer

Midlife Celebration’s jeff noel often pushes humility aside because he’s VP of marketing. Marketing is designed to sell more stuff, to more people, more often. It’s that simple. And Google loves “more”. It’s how Google factors page rank. Who doesn’t want to be on Google’s front page?

Note: Posts like this one, full of my name and other important keywords, will be fading away. Just part of experimentation and the desire to continuously improve.

Smart Bomb

Smart Bomb?
Smart Bomb?

The silver bullet, and we’re not talking Coors Light here. Don’t we dream of finding the silver bullet?

The silver bullet for leadership, for customer service, for brand recognition, marketing, market share, sales, etc.

Maybe we are searching for the wrong solution.

Maybe we should be in search of the …. smart bomb.

Smart bomb?  Yes. I just discovered it. (it was right next to the fountain of youth)

My son and his friend are playing video games.

I’m eating some cold, left-over Pasitano’s Pizza for lunch.

Watching them play, with their nine-year old competitive juices flowing, they just got excited about a smart bomb.  I watched the bomb grow in size, until it was a giant bubble on the TV, and then it exploded.

All I could think to do was groan for them, in their apparent loss.  Because, like most bombs, a big explosion does serious damage.

They corrected me, the way nine-year olds do when adults reveal their complete incompetence about stuff they didn’t grow up with.

A smart bomb, when it explodes, makes everyone near it – smarter, more effective.   Better.

Smart bomb.  Has a nice ring to it. Imagine if you worked on something important and then it sort of exploded in your face. Youch.

Or, “EUREKA!”  As in – “Used to express triumph upon finding or discovering something.”

You know, the silver bullet.
