Nugget: Stop, Listen and Keep an Open Mind
January 19, 2023
One of the key pieces of being successful in marketing is having an open mind. Now, I know a lot of us think we have an open mind, but when we're presented with a new idea, a new challenge, just something new that's in our business, our natural tendency is to say wait, stop, I don't know, that's not going to work for me. All these different things, all these beliefs that we have about our business and why it won't work or why that strategy is not the best for us without even really looking at it from an open mind and open perspective. You know, the best marketers in the world and the best people in business are adaptable. They adapt to changes that happen in their business. They have an open mind, they try things out, they test things out, they give it a really good go and then make the determination there if it's best for their business. So when you're approaching your business and anything new that you encounter in your marketing comes up, I want you just to stop and listen and have that open mind. Listen first before you make any judgment, before you put the hands up and say, this won't work for me. Listen with an open mind first and then from there, try it out, put yourself out there, take those steps, you know, find a mentor that's going to help you along the way to really give it a good try before you make that determination. But have that open mind first, that's the first key step because an open mind can lead to so many opportunities in your business, but you have to be open to listen. So keep that open mind.

You know, the best marketers in the world and the best people in business are adaptable.

They adapt to changes that happen in their business. They have an open mind, they try things out, they test things out, they give it a really good go and then make the determination there if it's best for their business.

So when you're approaching your business and anything new that you encounter in your marketing comes up, I want you just to stop and listen and have that open mind.
