I realize I am busy serving my customers, but am I missing something by cutting back so drastically on my marketing endeavors? Can I use excuse that I am too busy for that anymore? Should I be constantly churning out a percentage of promotional materials to ensure my future viability? No matter how busy I am, each and every day I have a conscious choice to spend my time focusing on activities that will result in additional sales for my business, which will result in vibrant future growth. It only makes sense that results and business I am enjoying now were only obtained by groundwork I laid back when I was brand new, and that to continue on this road I should continue marketing and promoting my business and my services.

Let's not lose conviction and drive we had when we were brand new. Let's not get so busy within our daily routines that we hesitate to reach out and expand ourselves, or get involved with additional activities that will grow our business. Let's purpose in our minds and in our hearts to continue on this path we have chosen. Let's do everything possible to continue to nurture and strengthen our business and future viability by choosing to do those things that will result in those additional sales that we once worked so hard for.

The last item that I have never forgotten is to never lose excitement and anticipation that accompanies gaining new clients and helping them succeed.
