Shoot For The Milky Way

October 8, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

I'm happy to see you around. You may want to subscribe to my blog. Thanks for visiting!

Welcome back! I am so happy to see that you have come back for more.

Stars seem difficult to reach. It seems as if it takes a very long time before we can actually reach stardom. Some people see landing on the stars as difficult as taking a full court shot in a game of basketball.

Reaching stardom is only as difficult as you make it out to be. Some people need to take the full court shot to achieve stardom. Others think of it as making free throw. Most people think of it as the full court shot though.

I’m not saying that achieving stardom is as easy as taking the free throw. However, it’s not as difficult as taking a full court shot, or even a half court shot.

People are shooting for the stars because whether they think achieving stardom is easy or difficult, people recognize it as achievable. The star is reachable. Once you reach that star, you’re work is going to pay off in abundance.

What I don’t get is that many people stop at the star. How can you stop at shooting for the stars when it’s possible to shoot for the Milky Way? Why not shoot for the Milky Way from the very start? Are you settling for the stars, or are you going beyond?

The Marketing Bull’s Eye

October 7, 2013 by Marc Guberti 4 Comments

The ways of marketing constantly change. The bull’s eye changes in size, shape, and location. However, it’s always difficult to hit. TV advertising was the way to go. Now mobile advertising is the way to go. Marketing will always change. Before TV advertising, newspaper ads had more power. Social media has quickly become an effective way to market products, blog posts, and services.

The bull’s eye always changes because our interests change. Who remembers Kodak’s cameras? Who still uses them? Smartphones have replaced those Kodak cameras. Print books used to be very popular. eBooks are winning that competition by a landslide. The music industry has also changed by a lot as well.

The bull’s eye always moves around, and it always changes. So why aim for it? It’s a moving target. However, if you get the marketing bull’s eye, you’ll be able to benefit greatly until the bull’s eye moves. However, it’s much easier for you to hit the marketing bull’s eye for a second time since people know about you. People are already paying attention to what you have to offer. Thus, the marketing bull’s eye gets bigger and easier to hit.

It’s not uncommon for people to give up on marketing, especially when it is constantly changing, but if you hit the marketing bull’s eye once, and you keep on aiming for the bull’s eye, each bull’s eye will be easier to hit than the last.

Too Many People Care About The Competition

October 7, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

There are too many people who look at the competition. The practice of carefully watching the competition could have been given to us by sports. I’m sure all of the baseball fans were watching the NL Central and AL Wild Card as the regular season was coming to a conclusion. Football is on as well, and some teams aren’t having the good starts they were predicted to have.

There are more companies trying to be like others. Facebook is trying to be Twitter. Facebook won’t be able to out-Twitter Twitter because Twitter was first. If Facebook tries to out-Twitter Twitter, they will lose.

Beating the competition feels like an accomplishment. Getting more sales than Seller B just allows you to compete with Seller C. Competition is like a never-ending dog pile in which everyone is trying to end up on top.

Fighting to be on the top of the dog pile is going to take years of work. You might not even get there because there are already established companies with a good record for success. The competition is not as important as you being successful. The competition isn’t important. Your business and your ideas are important.

Create Something Worth Sharing

October 6, 2013 by Marc Guberti 2 Comments

People are focusing on getting their message out there. People want others to tell people about their products. Word of mouth is powerful, and the ability to share content on social media is just as powerful. However, word of mouth and social media don’t result in a product that gets shared a lot.

Instead of finding more ways for people to share your product, create a product that is worth sharing. The best products aren’t necessarily the ones that get all of the advertising slots on television or the ones where the seller has over 100,000 followers on multiple social networks.

The best products are the ones that are worth sharing. People won’t share a sub par product that they see in an advertisement. You’ve told one of your friends about a product. That was a product worth sharing because you told someone else about that product. The product worth sharing is the one that goes from the unknown to the next bestseller.

Don’t create the hype. Create something of value.

The Will And The Way

October 6, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

The way you are thinking of might be the right way to go. You might end up thriving by going that way.

You might also end up thinking about the wrong way. That business opportunity isn’t as good as it looks.

There are plenty of choices, but the will allows us to decide which way we go. We have to have a desire to head in a particular direction before we actually head in that direction. If there’s a lot of crossroads, but there’s no logic of which way to go, there’s no motivation. Without that motivation, people end up going away from that path and taking another route.

The desire to continue will allow you to take the right way so you can thrive and unlock your potential. However, you need the will to continue even through the toughest times (they will come).

The way is nice. We know what we want to become. Take steps of action that will allow you to get closer to your future. If you’re already taking steps of action, take more steps of action.

Escaping The Grind

October 5, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

What is the grind and what are you escaping from? Is there even a grind at all? If you don’t like what you do, you’re in the grind. Every day is another day of the grind.

If you’re thinking of escaping the grind, there’s no reason to continue with the grind. You don’t like the grind, and you won’t like it. The person who doesn’t like being a doctor and is a doctor is going through the grind. The person who doesn’t like being a car mechanic and is a car mechanic is going through the grind.

If you’re in the grind, you need to escape that grind. You don’t escape the grind by walking into another grind. If you don’t like being a doctor, and you’re a doctor, going into a profession you don’t like isn’t an escape from the grind.

The only way to escape from the grind is to do what you love. Everyone wants their own blog and social networks. If that’s a grind for you, it won’t work. If being a doctor is like going through the grind, it won’t work. If you love being a doctor, you’ve escaped the grind.

You can go from profession to profession but still be in the grind. When you stick with a profession, and you like it, you have escaped the grind. When you escape the grind, you will be able to achieve greatness.
