"Something can be smart and still be wrong." πŸ‘ And something can be aligned for one business vision, personality type and lifestyle and be a fast-ttack to burnout city for another. No one right way to be in business. Gotta courageously take your way.

My 'smartest' business decision cost me years of progress and thousands of dollars. Because it wasn't right FOR ME. When I started my business, I loved working directly with founders. Together, we'd launch big strategic projects that delivered rapid results. - Helping them grow faster - Helping them generate leads - Helping them increase revenue But quickly, they wanted me to support their marketing teams. - Executing my strategies - Writing blogs & emails - Producing webinars - Creating content - Planning events Everyone said, "If you want to scale, build an agency." So I did. It seemed smart! - Good money - Consistent work - Long-term contracts But I hated it. All the bad of an internal marketing role: - Ongoing execution of low-impact activities - Siloed from the rest of the company - Rarely working with the founder - No strategic seat at the table - Little room for innovation But with none of the good: - Mentorship - Team camaraderie - Ability to rise through the ranks - Knowing you're growing as a team - Feeling connected to the company vision Plus, I kind of sucked at it. - Bad at managing - Worse at hiring - Always bored Within 18 months, I was severely burned out. Unhealthy, unhappy, and completely lost. I built a business I hated. - Because they said I would scale. - Because they told me it was smart. - Because they had made a lot of money. Instead of building one I freaking loved. - Because I trusted my intuition. - Because I knew what I loved doing. - Because I had a vision for my future. The danger of entrepreneurial advice is assuming it's right for you. Something can be smart and still be wrong. The challenge is learning the difference. - Having the courage to believe in yourself - Increasing your self-awareness - Trusting your inner wisdom Do the work to know what you really want. Or do what I did, and learn the hard way πŸ˜‰ ♻️ Repost if this helped or inspired πŸ”” Follow me, @ABetterJones for more πŸ‘‡ Become your industry's go-to expert

Holy cow! πŸ„ I just stumbled upon a Twitter Chat from today. On my first Twitter account from more than 10 years ago I hosted some Twitter Chats and they were so fun! I'd forgotten entirely. Tell me... are these still happening? If I host,would you join me?!?!

Moving past procrastinating on your marketing is a lot like parenting: At some point you have to realize that you're going to screw up, and it'll be ok. Probably why entrepreneurship teaches you so much about yourself, too.

90% of showing up to your marketing is really just: β€’ Getting honest β€’ Lowering the risk β€’ Feeling connected The little stuff that makes all the difference.

Stop trying to: β€’ Create a marketing plan β€’ Have a crystalized message β€’ Gain a buttload of followers Instead, just focus each day on connecting with the person you can help. The rest will take care of itself.

How I used to create content: β€’ Wait for inspiration β€’ Perfect every word β€’ Save it for when I have more followers How I create content now: β€’ See inspiration everywhere β€’ Start with something and iterate β€’ Share it with those who will benefit today

Most Reluctant Marketers focus on learning more about marketing. This gets them nowhere. Instead, focus 100% of your attention on reversing the risk of marketing.

A benefit of moving past procrastinating on your marketing: β€’ The trust you build ripples through your life. Because your actions match your words.

Scenario: You pick a platform Result: It doesn't create the outcome you wanted Typical Response: "That was a waste of time" Better Response: Nothing I do is a waste. It all becomes compost to enrich my next experience."

The mistake I was making in my marketing was: β€’ asking "what if I pick the wrong place to market?" It took me a long time to understand the reason was: I was making failure personal and final.

Good question to ask if you procrastinated on your marketing task: πŸ€”I wonder if I have a realistic expectation of the time this will take?

Where in your marketing or business are you currently pursuing comfort... when what's called for is a little discomfort?

The way you define marketing can β€’ create pressure πŸ’₯ β€’ or reverse pressure πŸͺ· Is your definition built on β€’ the need to sell πŸ€‘ β€’ or the need to serve 🎁 It all comes through in your message.

"Act despite how you feel" is dangerous advice. It separates you from yourself. It makes you doubt your body and your senses. If you don't trust yourself, then you have to trust.... the person giving the advice. Your feelings aren't flawed.
