Mountains are supposed to be climbed

What are you up against right now?  What mountain are you trying to climb?

If you've just overcome a small barrier in your life, and feel like the roadway is clear, that's awesome, but there is also another hurdle coming your way. 

Sometimes those hurdles aren't small things we can simply jump over, sometimes they are massive mountains that require us to work.  Along the way we'll sometimes stumble and fall short of what we were looking to achieve. 

And if this is you, I have some advice for you, smile, embrace it and keep moving forward regardless of the setback. 

This might sound like someone who lacks empathy or emotion, however, tell me what good would wallowing and feeling sorry for yourself do?  Yes you've had a setback, but if you still have air in your lungs then you can still keep moving forward. 

You can choose to continue to climb the mountain in front of you. 

Yes you're going to be labelled, but so what, some might consider it cold, but I would call it focused and determined.  The alternative is quitting and that isn't an option.  

Many of our the successful innovations of the 21st century didn't succeed on the first try.  

Multiple iterations of a product, service were created before the final product went to market, and if you believe during that process there weren't failures, then you are categorically wrong. 

Failures and setbacks are how we learn, grow, and come back stronger. 

There is nothing stopping you from climbing a mountain, figuratively or in reality.  Mountains are supposed to be climbed. 

So whatever mountain you're facing in your life today, keep going.  The peak is waiting and the view from the top is going to be worth every moment.

Robert Haylor on Email Marketing

Image
I wanted to give you all a tip this week, something that you can use in your own business, based on my own experience.  This year, I've started using my email marketing application more to reach out to both prospects and also keep in touch with my client base on a regular basis.  One of the most important and often overlooked tasks within the marketing mix is the constant growing of your email marketing list.   Growing your email marketing list isn't just something you should do as and when, but something that you make part of your everyday cycle.  So if you've recently been to a meeting with a prospective client, get their email address, if you've signed up a new client, ensure their email address is in your email marketing application or better yet had a phone call from a warm lead, get their email address.  If you don't have an email address capture form on your website for new enquiries or for people that find your content useful, then ensure you get that ad...

Become a student of life

In 2006 I became a student at the University of Central England in Birmingham, UK.  I studied Computer Science and became a professional in my craft.  However, learning shouldn't just be something we do when we're in an educational setting, in fact I am here to tell you that I've learned more after University than I ever did whilst in education.   The one major takeaway that I'd like to share with you today is to always be a student of life.  Life is a teacher and it can sometimes be one of the most brutal teachers we have.  In 2018, I weighed a colossal 220lbs and growing, I knew I was eating the wrong things and I also knew I wasn't active.   I had basic knowledge of how to get out of it, move more and quit eating like shit.  To get out of any kind of situation whether its business, in your relationship or in life then you're going to need to become a student of that particular subject.  You're going to need to learn about the subject and then a...
