Emotionally Committed To Your Brand- The Grit Factor Commitment isn’t easy, but when we stay committed it has the ability to help us achieve goals we may have only once dreamed of. Commitment is the ability to stick with something long after the initial excitement is gone. Commitment is a decision to stick with a project, idea, relationship, or goal – even when it’s not easy. “There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” – Art Turock ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It4F-S5B9v8

Manage Your Online Reputation - The No. 1 Mistake Call me at 714-300-9566 or reach me at http://www.edwindearborn.com/contact/ Manage your online reputation - It begins with a search. And when I say "Google" yourself, I don't mean just use Google -- use every possible search engine, including people searches, social networks and forum searches to find out everything (good and bad) being said about you on the Internet. Search for your name, your nicknames, your maiden name, misspellings of your name -- heck, it's even a good idea to search for your first name coupled with a few keywords. (Keywords can include things like hometown, current city, the name of your college and your occupation.) If you're worried about what a specific person, such as a potential employer, might find, make sure you search for any identifiable info they might have access to, such as your email address, a frequently-used username, or a phone number. You should also comb through any social media accounts, blogs or forums that you frequent to make sure there are no damning posts or photos that you forgot about, and check the Wayback Machine to see if any of your deleted accounts are still living in cached form on the Internet. Bonus: Check the social media accounts, blogs, and forum posts of your friends, family members, and significant others, just to be sure you won't be blindsided by someone who doesn't take your online reputation quite as seriously. The best online reputation management strategy is a proactive one. Instead of trying to suppress your past, focus on building your future. By adding new content in the form of new social network accounts, blog posts, articles and forum posts, you can boost your professional identity and tamp down your "drunk college days" identity at the same time. This works because search algorithms like to see new content -- in Google's eyes, an up-to-date blog is far more relevant than a years-old Facebook picture, and therefore gets prime real estate near the top of the search results. Spiff up your social networks.Create a separate Facebook account for your professional identity. Add your boss, coworkers and professional colleagues, and post (work-safe but interesting) content to this account frequently. If you're not a member of many social networks, consider joining some under your professional identity; LinkedIn is an obvious choice, but I also like review sites Yelp and Amazon; alumni sites such as Classmates.com; and blogging sites like Tumblr. After all, you want to come across as a well-rounded, totally work-safe person, right? Be an expert.If you're an expert in your field, try to get your name placed in industry publications or magazines. The quickest way to the top is to ride someone else's coattails, and an industry pub ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeI_XklPVXM

Unless your role is to serve as a mindless cog in a wheel of predictable work, you will encounter setbacks – many of them – throughout your career. Even the biggest superstars at work experience impediments. Maybe a project doesn’t go as planned, or your star employee whom you have mentored for years resigns. Maybe you had to endure public criticism from your boss, or a promotion you were counting on just didn’t happen. Some setbacks are small, having a minimum impact on your ability to move forward. Others can make you feel like the world is crumbling. Most fall somewhere in between. Regardless of the personal setback, there are techniques that can help you shed the disappointment, prop yourself up and move forward with enthusiasm. Acknowledge it. Own it. Feel it. It’s OK to feel the negative emotions that come with the setback. In fact, it is essential. Pretending you aren’t disappointed, frustrated or angry won’t make it go away. Acknowledge how you feel, but steer clear from blaming yourself or others. Take the time you need to process. For some setbacks you will need more than just a brief pause to recover. Acting in haste may lead you to choices you soon regret, so resist the temptation to immediately send that blunt email or turn in your resignation. Change your mindset. Setbacks are actually progress in disguise. Think back to the most powerful things you learned in life, and I’ll bet many of those enlightenments are connected to a setback. In fact, you can likely connect a lot of your success and confidence to the growth that came from your most challenging experiences. Of course, hindsight makes those setbacks seem inconsequential – but they likely felt a lot heavier at the time. Remind yourself that the aftermath is temporary and will lead to valuable outcomes. ​ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNVGMGIXai0

Best Marketing Strategy Ever Call me at 714-300-9566 or visit https://premiereleadsystems.com/ Without spending a single dollar on “marketing,” you can inspire loyalty in your customers – and make them ambassadors for your brand – just by doing three simple things: genuinely caring about their needs, serving those needs efficiently, and exceeding their expectations. Welcome to my favorite subject: Marketing strategy. Part of the Marketing planning process, this topic is my favorite for two reasons: a well-developed strategy simplifies our everyday marketing job as it makes the implementation of different initiatives straight-forward. Secondly, that’s what I specialize in, and I love what I do. As defined in a previous article, the go to market strategy represents the generic direction to be followed in order to accomplish a specific business objective. It represents the “road map” to achieving greater results, such as sales growth, worldwide brand recognition, higher market penetration, etc. An effective Marketing strategy is realistic, easy to understand and practical to implement. It also makes communication initiatives easier to develop. In the next articles I will list the major topics to be addressed by an effective strategic document, as well as a well-written Marketing plan. Because one aspect of a marketing plan affects all of the others, coordinating your activities is critical to eliminating interference and maximizing your profits. A marketing strategy looks at all of the areas of your selling activities and helps each one support the next, making sure all of your departments are aware of what each is doing. Understanding how to create an integrated marketing strategy will help you make better individual decisions regarding specific marketing tactics. Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel.
