Working Harder Is Not The Answer!! by Gbosh(m): 12:05pm On Feb 22, 2013
Do you sometimes feel like a dog chasing its tail -- going round and round, and never getting anywhere? At the end of the week you're exhausted and you have little to show for all your work.

That feeling comes from working hard -- on the wrong things.

You can't keep doing the same things over and over again, and hope to get different results. You have to learn better techniques, if you ever hope to get more out of your business and your life.

Let me give you an example.

Lydia owned a small business, and was struggling to keep it going. She spent hours and hours every month trying to create promotional ads, flyers and letters in an effort to generate more sales. She also attended networking meetings, and volunteered on business committees.

But even with all of this exhaustive effort, her sales were stagnant, her results each week were minimal. She was struggling just to get by.

Her poor results were not because she wasn't working hard enough -- she was working plenty hard, probably too hard. They were because she was doing the wrong things. She didn't understand exactly how marketing worked -- so she guessed at what she should be doing.

She saw many of her business peers doing the same types of things, so she assumed that they must be the right things to do.

Luckily, Lydia, discovered our Give to Get Marketing Solution and finally stopped running in circles. She started focusing on the right things in her business -- the things that attract customers and sales like a magnet -- and her business and her sales turned around overnight.

Lydia's business finally started providing her with what she wanted all along -- a more prosperous, more secure and more enjoyable life.

You can have the same thing Lydia found.

Regards,

Kessington Emede
