Marketing: Taking the first step

Some days a marketing/branding program can seem overwhelming -- especially when you're trying to focus on the strategy for the next 3 years, budget for the coming year, analyze the current year, tweak the last 3 months of the year. (You get the picture!) And you're trying to fit that all into running a business where marketing for your business is a fraction of all your responsibilities/duties.

A friend recently forwarded an email with some quotes that help me get back into the groove:

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. - Mark Twain
The world can only be grasped by action, not contemplation. -Diane Arbus
The man who removes a mountain, begins by carrying away small stones.- William Faulkner
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.-Jim Rohn
Keep on Keeping on. - Curtis Mayfield
Like most quotes that come from an email forward, I'm never sure of the accuracy of the quote or the person it's attributed to -- feel free to post a correction if they aren't right and I'll fix it.

Meanwhile, it's 7 am and time to take that first step on a Monday!!

Great tips for making a start in marketing, very inspiring. I found this really cool women's community that helps women get together and share ideas. It seems they are Inspiring Women to get to the next level in their lives. They also just launched a revolutionary system to help Entrepreneurial Women become more Successful and Savvy.
