Are You A Goal Getter?
2009/11/19 10:30 AM
As you have probably guessed by now, I subscribe to MANY Many Many (ok….way to many) blogs and newsletters where I learn a lot of the new stuff that I incorporate with my own knowledge and in turn, pass it on to you. I love learning, yet like you, I am sure you are often in information overload mode, or just sick of the tons of emails in your inbox – including mine too from time to time right?
I decided today that the reason we read all these emails, blogs etc.. is that we WANT to learn for one reason; because WE HAVE A GOAL and we want to get to it faster, smarter, better and with the latest technology.
But if you read all this great information out there, and don’t know what your ultimate goal is, then how do you apply it to make money and achieve your goal?
- Are you sitting on a goldmine of juicy tips regarding sales techniques but you don’t know who you want to sell to?
- Are you poised to write an interesting blog post about tanning leather but don’t know if you want to make things out of leather anymore.
Are you getting my drift?
What is your ultimate goal?
If you don’t know what it is, how will you get there?
If you don’t know what it is, how will you know when you DO get there?
Decide on YOUR ultimate goal, and then set the small goals that will get you to the end game.
I like to give you information you can use right away.
Are you ready to take bigger steps towards your goals right now?
I have put together a short list of places that I have discovered all in the past 48 hours through twitter. Just ONE social media site gave me connections to these fabulous resources that might change your lives and help you get closer to your goals.
Check them out and let me know if any of them worked for you.

Pitch holiday gift guides
The time is approaching to pitch holiday gift guides over the next 6-8 weeks.
I know, I know, it’s only June, but Holiday Gift Guide submissions are starting now…….so get on it sister, as it will end in July.
This can be a great way to get into magazines that might be more challenging for you in the “everyday” editorial world.
Gift guides often put in items that appeal to their audience, but might not have a good place in the monthly magazines.
Magazines try to appeal to a broad audience with the holiday gift guides, so I would suggest being bold about your choices. Here is what you’ll want to do…

Growing up in the eyewear business, he visited factories around the globe with his father from an early age and got to learn and understand the world of manufacturing. Chad and his partners started DIFF by selling sunglasses at music festivals to get a sense of their target market before doing the deep dive into creating and manufacturing their own unique brand.
Once they created their own designs, getting products to celebrities and the media was not too difficult and the brand quickly took off. Leveraging the media exposure, they were able to build an online business that has donated over 1 million pair of glasses to those in need.

How to know if you have a hero or a zero by testing your product before you invest heavily in producing it. Don't keep it a secret, show it to get feedback.Did I ever share that my Grandmother made this coat for JFK Jr.? Jackie was a frequent shopper in her store in New York City. This ended up on the cover of LIFE magazine. Her shop became famous.

Join me and Lisa Ascolese, The Inventress for an enlightening episode on how to think more broadly about your product line so that you can get into more stores and more magazines. In this episode we share ideas on how to think differently about your line. For example, if you make a skincare line and have a serum or oil based product, consider pitching to mountain resorts where the air is dryer and women need more moisture in the products they purchase.You can take this idea a step further by pitching to wellness magazines and local magazines (in the resort town) as they are always looking for products that solve a problem. Many creators think to narrowly and don’t see a bigger pitch for themselves. Take a look at your line and see how you can spin it into a new category, or a new sales channel.
