Without judgment or blame - so you can find real clarity in your progress
There won’t be a bunch of charts and a waterfall of numbers. Because what I want to address (and what really matters) is how we relate to each other when we’re looking at those charts and numbers … the way each person feels, and how they’re equipped to build with equal impact on their successes and their failures.
Something so crucial, you won’t believe you haven’t considered it.
We’ve been conditioned to think that everything should be an overnight success and that anyone can make a million dollars in a weekend, right?
But that’s generally not the case. Which means that, for the rest of us? There will be angles to test, messages to refine, structure to alter and sometimes products to ditch, before you hit those goals.
For a bit of consolation, think of how Elon Musk knew they needed to blow up a few rockets first, before they could build something that would do the job. They cut it so fine, almost running out of funds. But how far has he come since?
I’m not suggesting you need to run things so close to the wire (or literally blow things up), but to produce something great they needed to push past what they knew.
It’s useful to keep Brian Roemmele’s words in mind:
“We can only see what we think is possible. This reminds us that not only do we not know the outcome ahead of time, we must continually train our minds to cast the most imaginative vision of what we want, or we’ll miss a bunch of good ideas!”
So, if you want to dissect your marketing results to bring the most “oomph” to your next steps? Here’s what you need to think about:
Marketing moves fast.
Platforms update policies and algorithms, it seems, on the daily.
What worked last month may curl up and run out of air this month.
Yet, as the quirky human beasties we are, we don’t change much. The way we want to get things, try to avoid other things, and the way we see ourselves … those things are timeless. These human aspects are the dependable principles on which to build your campaigns.
It’s crucial to train your team so that they can review and analyze your data and the campaign decisions without fear of blame or judgment, so that they can think clearly and allow fresh inspiration to flow. Fear contracts; love expands.
