The Importance of Building an Email List
Many people see email lists as old-fashioned and outdated, but the truth is that it’s one of the most valuable assets available to any business. Building an email list is an excellent way to keep in touch with customers or potential clients, build brand loyalty, and reach new prospects. If you’re looking for more information on how to create your list, this blog post will give you some great tips! One of the most important things to remember when building an email list is to make sure that it’s opt-in. This means that people have to explicitly agree to receive your emails, either by signing up on your website or by clicking a link in an email you’ve sent them. Another essential thing to keep in mind is to provide value to your subscribers. If all you do is send them sales pitches, they’ll quickly unsubscribe or mark your email as spam. Instead, try sending them helpful tips, articles, or other content that’s relevant to their interests. This will help

A Successful Week Starts With A Plan
Do you plan your week out for family and work? I do now! 🙋♀️ It’s one of my changes in 2022. I like to plan my week out on Sunday so I don’t have to think about it on Monday. Here’s my order of importance on my plan: ✅ Family Dinner Night (I have to schedule this during the week since they are all gone on the weekends!) ✅ Weekly Lunch Date with Pat! ✅ Read 15-30 minutes per day ✅ Exercise daily ✅ PVT – Prime Vision Time set for every morning when I wake up.

Mornings are the easiest times for me to focus! ✅ Essential Daily Work Tasks – ie: email, social media messages, calls, etc. My weekly plan is a perfect example of mental fitness. Want to see more?

Are You Using Social Media Or Is It Using You?
I use social media as “business media”. Here’s how: 1. Get in. 2. Create something with the purpose of moving your business ahead. 3. Deliver value with respect to the viewer’s time. 4. Provide a strong “next step”. 5. Get out! Make it worth the 10 minutes to create or do something else. Don’t get caught gawking at someone’s breakfast or you will end up burning time that could be used for something more important. Some of the smartest people in the entire world work for Facebook and Instagram and they do nothing but figure out how to get you to stay on their platforms for as long as possible. (even when they say they don’t). Those platforms get paid each time someone scrolls 4 posts. There is a sponsored post every 4th post and that advertiser pays whether you click it or not. Now you know why they want you to spend hours scrolling. Use it to your advantage. Get in. Post. Get out! No one laying on

It all seems so simple but there is so much online marketing information out there that we all get overwhelmed and don’t do enough. Instead of answering like most marketers and saying “it depends”, or “let’s book a call”, or “pay us first”, we just thought we’d share our foundation of our entire business. No tricks. Just living by our motto of Keep It Stupid Simple (K.I.S.S.) and forget the rest! 80/20 rule in effect. Pillar 1: “Grab Leads” – We call this filling your funnel aka lead generation. But, before you can fill your funnel you must first have a funnel. It can be simply a way for people to opt in to get your free information whatever that is. i.e. Website, Landing page, form, texting you, phone calls, messenger… #buildyourlist Pillar 2: “Get Attention” – Otherwise known as the marketing. You start filling the top of your funnel
