But if you cut it to the quick expect your business to drop along with it.  For all of you who are thinking of marketing as something that can be cut completely I strongly urge you to take a look at my post Follow the Advice of Douglas Adams.  [...] [...] A long time ago I heard someone say, “You can’t churn butter with a toothpick.” And it rings very true when it comes to marketing your business.  You can (and should) go through and trim the fat – take a look at why things did or didn’t work.

I arrived at the home that was to be placed on the market and the wife/mother met me at the door in tears. She went on to tell me that her husband walked out on her and the children. She continued to tell me that she has lost two jobs in the past year due to downsizing and now the home is fatherless and she doesn't have a paycheck coming in. As I walked back down the driveway after the appointment and turned the engine to my nice new car that I was driving to my wonderful, warm home and loving family, I thought about the statement, "you are only one paycheck from being homeless". I thank God everyday for the blessings He has bestowed upon my life. sharon Gerry:

With the Entrepreneur Expo just around the corner this is sage advice. I could even see people handing out little pads of post-its in lieu of business cards at their regular networking meetings. Ps - I love how you “expand my brain” and cause me think of marketing and promotion from a different angle every time I talk to you! Your scary smart. This is brilliant!
