Why creative marketing should be well rehearsed

January 11, 2010

Have you ever watched an acting company prepare for a show? It’s a fascinating experience.

First, the actors, director and stage managers sit down for a read-through—just the people and the script—to get a feel for the play. Then rehearsals begin. The director works out the blocking—where he wants the actors to enter and exit, where they should stand and move on the set to convey the right message to the audience.

There are more rehearsals.

The set is built, the lights are hung, the sound guys do their work, the actors adapt to their new environment.

The power of commitment

December 7, 2009

The following quote is a Stickie on my desktop:

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans—the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.”

There are people who would have you believe that positive thinking will make all your dreams come true. There are enough self-help books pushing that message to sink a container ship.

Burning questions about motivation

November 13, 2009

Are you one of those people who procrastinates? Do you wait until a deadline is way too close before kicking into high gear? How many people do you know who do the same thing?

Do you approach business that way, too?
