Spent much of the day writing the draft for an email sequence for one client and started getting feedback on another email sequence that is in testing. Had a call with a business consultant I met on LinkedIn. The call was good and got into problems she is having marketing her business. We scheduled a … Read more
I woke up pretty tired despite sleeping well, I thought. I think some days are just more draggy than others. Chris felt the same for equally unexplainable reasons. I’m finding I can just plow through these feelings and I end up having an ok day. I had a couple calls, I got work and writing … Read more
I had a call where I started to map out the idea of a virtual conference on effective sales communication. This is inspired by a conversation I had with my daughters as well as what I’m barely starting to learn about how to have conversations without a hidden agenda.

So many things it’s probably best I don’t put on social media… I finished up some rush fixes to a Jazz website I started maintenance on last week. This is a non-profit with … Read more
Today I did my email coaching session with my client from Oregon as well as marketing coaching for my client in Wisconsin. I find I’ve been really intimidated coaching the guy in Oregon. Probably because his business is so relatively successful vs most of my clients. It’s been interesting to watch that. I finally concluded … Read more
I’ve been doing LinkedIn prospecting as a favor to one of the guys in my mastermind group and that is basically over. I ran through a final list of Real Estate Agents and he is still asking how he is supposed to start conversations. And maybe his idea of pre-made marketing videos for agents isn’t … Read more
There is a sense of loss of not being able to go out. A sense of loss for everything that has changed.
