Where's Melissa? Enjoying an Extended Birthday! |
|
Dear
Celebrating MORE Wisdom! This last Sunday marked my 48th birthday, I can't believe I just said that outloud. Friends in Atlanta threw me a last minute celebration and I had a grand time catching up with many I hadn't seen since my last birthday. I've a new commitment to see everyone more often as a year is simply too long between good friends. When was the last time you caught up with friends near and far? Give one a call today, you'll be glad you reconnected.
Birthdays Online! I have to say it was so much fun to have my birthday remembered by friends on Facebook. While I am well aware that many have VA's who handle the birthday wishing, it still means a lot. I long ago gave up counting presents, but always count the presence of friends who share best wishes. I'm a sucker for cards and will leave them up on display for months following such an auspicious occasion!
Heading to Highpoint, NC! Next week I'm going to head out to Highpoint for Furniture Market. I'm speaking on October 19 at a luncheon for designers, Low Cost and No Cost Marketing Tools for Finding Perfect Prospects and Profit. Love to have you join me if you are going to be in the area. Lots of great events planned with big names to meet!
Together we all go farther,

Melissa

*You are A CREATIVEPRENUER when you are an entrepreneur or small business owner who derives your income from your creative talents, gifts, skills, and experience whether service based (designers, marketers, coaches, artists, speakers, image consultants and more) or product based (inventors, retailers, authors and more.) You tend to do too much and are often caught in BSOS (Bright Shiny Object Syndrome).

5 Sure Ways to Your Prosperity Mindset
Regularly sharing Strategy Sessions with Creativepreneurs I have found that the single greatest challenge to your success is your mindset. Success is as much a choice as it is anything else. You can work hard, you can put in long hours, you can be tremendously talented, but if you don't have the right mindset you won't get far. There are 5 simple and sure ways to create and maintain Your Prosperity Mindset:
#1 Create a Gratitude Habit
Every day at least once a day, jot down on an index card just 5 things you are grateful for. Now you can certainly write down 25 but often it is tough to come up with even 5! Consider some obvious one's: a place to live (it doesn't matter how nice, or if you own it), your health (or a single aspect of it, like good eyesight or hearing), reliable transportation (whether it is your car, the local metro, or a friend), family and friends (and if you don't have one, I bet you have the other!), a pet (always a blessing). It is all too easy to forget that there are many who are homeless, handicapped, ill, illiterate, hungry, and without even the basics. You have them (and likely a whole lot more.) Get thankful.
#2 Visualize Your New Reality
Okay, so you aren't too crazy about the reality you are in the middle of and you want to change it. Visualizing is an essential step to getting there. You can go anywhere in your mind, you can be anyone in your mind. And when you take these steps every day, forming a habit, these desires and dreams become part of your essential fabric. This becomes an integral part of the energy you live and breath every day and will bring the help you know what steps to take to forward your dream. This isn't about idly dreaming, that won't get you far. This is about active visualizing, even just once a day for 10 minutes, but every day. No skipping, no missing, no haphazard effort. Make this a success habit.

The Trust Me Strategy
This is one of the most effective strategies to build a successful social media presence and can be easily translated into offline success as well. The Trust Me Strategy is all about increasing your credibility by providing value content in a consistent and persistent manner. Remember that social media is the BRAN in your marketing plan!
Value content means sharing your expertise and experience widely through nuggets on Twitter, posts on Facebook, comments and discussion posts on LinkedIN, and of course, your blog. You want to establish yourself as a trusted resource and a GoTo Guru. The good news is that you don't have to know it all, you simply need to know who does and be willing to share both your information as well as theirs to become a one stop resource.

ABOUT MELISSA |
|
Hi! I'm Melissa Galt and as a successful business creativepreneur and business owner of the last 15+ years I learned that the key to a profitable business is all in the marketing. I was spoiled at the start because corporate America had done it for me so when I jumped into the wild blue yonder of owning my own business I had a lot to learn, and learn it I did! And I've gone from wasting thousands on advertising, direct response mail, expos and more to creating a finally honed marketing machine that regularly delivers perfect prospects whom I convert to ideal clients for lifetime demand. Can I show you how to do the same?
As entrepreneurs we all have the dream of designing a business that is both profitable, passionate, purposeful, and gives us the lifestyle we deserve and want. That means:
- Time for our family and friends
- Great health without stress or difficult clients
- Rewarding relationships
- Real and regular vacations to the town next door or around the world
- Full pipeline of perfect prospects who appreciate our talent and gifts
But too often that dream gets buried in 15 hour days, 6 days a week, years without vacation and missing friends and family. Marketing makes the difference and from mindset to strategy, Twitter to Facebook, blogging to article marketing, passive revenue products to your own teleseminars I've got the solutions.
Please consider me your marketing success resource to move your business forward and become the thriving profitable opportunity you dreamed of! I welcome and invite your emails, Tweets, Facebook posts, LinkedIN connections, and even phone calls. I'm old fashioned but learned how to harness today's marketing tools for real success. You can too! |
