Everyone hits slumps in their business at some time or another, and I would be shocked if you didn't. It's not only normal; it's to be expected. You can avoid having too many slumps in the future with good marketing and solid consistency, but what do you do if you're in the slump right now? If you're stuck in the mud and you can't see a rope to haul yourself out, you're not going to be thinking too much about how to avoid the slump in the future, no no no.. you just want out! So, let's pull you out of that slump … and… put measures in place to avoid falling back into the quagmire of business quicksand. In today's episode, you're going to get insight into how you got into the slump in the first place, and the reason is not at all what you probably think it is. Then, we will talk about quick ways to haul your cookies out of the depths of business stagnation. Finally, we wrap up with a five-question checklist (you can see it below in case you don't have time to listen to today's episode .. but you definitely should!). The Profit Lovers Podcast Intro The Profit Lovers Podcast OutroGET EVEN MORE PROFIT LOVIN' IN YOUR BUSINESS (AND LIFE)Download the FREE Profit Lovers One Page Plan + Track Come and say HI on the GRAMHappy Profit Lovin'!

Can you really market your business without using social media? Or, are the experts right? No social media marketing equals business death? More and more often I have clients asking me if they can market their businesses without using social media because they’re sick of it. It feels like a waste of time and effort and acts as nothing more than a distraction and burden. So, can you market without social media and if you do scrap it what do you do instead? That is what you will hear in today's episode.

Are you busting your butt trying to be unique in business? Flustering about to find distinctive features to set you aside from your competitors? Not easy right? In fact, your attempts at uniqueness might be working against you. What if instead of standing out by being unique you focused on being the most choosable! I was shooting the breeze with Belinda from Copywriter Matters when she talked about a project she was working on, writing a book about why we need to be choosable in business instead of unique. Well, slap me sideways and call me Charlie, I had never heard anyone say that before. I was intrigued and ready to hear more so we benched that conversation for a later day when I had my podcast gear ready to capture every word. Here are the holy schmucks moments that have changed my view of marketing:The importance of the 3 p’s Proof, Process and PersonalitySticky hooks and how to use them to attract the right customer or clientEmbracing the low-hanging fruit of marketing (the stuff that makes you choosable)Ditching shiny new things and embracing your inner lazy galWhy you need to stop looking sideways and focus on what your customers or clients care aboutLinks mentioned in today's episode:Belinda Weaver Copywrite MattersBelinda's Instagram ProfileHow to get AH-MAZING for your businessThe Profit Lovers Podcast Intro The Profit Lovers Podcast OutroGET EVEN MORE PROFIT LOVIN' IN YOUR BUSINESS (AND LIFE)Download the FREE Profit Lovers One Page Plan + Track Come and say HI on the GRAMHappy Profit Lovin'!

Running your business the same way you did when you started out? Wishing your business would scale but not sure what to change up, invest in or ditch to get you to your next set of goals? The good old saying is “what got you here won’t get you there” which is both true and false. Totally true if your business has stalled, and totally false if what you’re doing right now is working for you. If you’re hitting goals, increasing profits and feeling more confident and in control of your business then keep doing what you’re doing! Don’t change a thing. If that’s not you, then let’s talk about what to do now. Key PointsCustomers who got you here may not be the right people to get you to next levelTools you use today may be outdated, or too budget to help you scaleOffers need to evolve as your business evolves (example of wholesale clients, coaching etc)Marketing needs to evolve to match the evolution of offersImage, brand and voice needs to be developed to meet your new marketInvesting in scaling (better tax advice, group or one on one coaching)LINKS:Marshall Goldsmith The Profit Lovers Members ClubThe Profit Lovers WebsiteThe Profit Lovers Podcast Intro The Profit Lovers Podcast OutroGET EVEN MORE PROFIT LOVIN' IN YOUR BUSINESS (AND LIFE)Download the FREE Profit Lovers One Page Plan + Track Come and say HI on the GRAMHappy Profit Lovin'!
