If you said yes you are not alone. 
From a number of emails I have received lately this is the common theme.
Some have given up.
Some are wondering what to do next to grow their business.
And have a life.
There are no one size fits all solution, however there is a way to fix the marketing overwhelm problem.
And it is what I learnt many years ago in business:
Marketing simplicity = greater results.
Plus you can save a massive amount of time and/or money.
Today we know there is information overload for you, your business and your customers.
It is easy to say just shut out the noise.
But when you want to be successful with your business you are always looking for something to help you grow.
Marketing is part of doing business. So you can’t afford not to do anything.
So this means the overwhelm needs to stop and get rid of the marketing clutter.
The first thing to do is to see if you are overwhelmed and are in need of simplicity with your marketing.
So here are some questions and just answer yes or no:
- You struggle to write 1 blog post per week and feel a little guilty
- Your blog looks like a ghost town because you haven’t had time to think of any topics
- You have decided to forgo any involvement in social media to get your life back
- Your to do list is longer than a Chinese take away menu
- You haven’t started your newsletter that was on last year’s to do list
- You haven’t had time to work out how to increase your prices
- You want to outsource but you need to be organised first
- You stop any promotion or activities when you get busy but know you shouldn’t
- You know there are things you should do to grow but think give me a break
- You use post it notes to record customer conversations
- You are sick of being told to do one thing one day and the next day told not to
- You lose the post it notes in all the other papers on your desk
- You have many ideas but little action
- You try different things as you think they may work this time but really not sure if they are right
- You like the idea of content but shudder at the thought of something else to do
- You think one day I will be organised and save time
- You want to outsource but you need to be organised first
- You want to develop a product from your service but it is still a dream
- You put your fingers in your ears when you hear of another marketing tactic
I already do an exercise with my current programs but sometimes all you need to do is be shown how to get onto the marketing simplicity track.
So let me know in the comments how you went with the questions.
Also if you have any simplicity and productivity tips please share them.
