Solo Journey

After a conversation with Anthony a few days ago, what I’ve relearned is sometimes you’re in the journey by yourself. We’d had a conversation about him starting in business several years ago and how for the first year he did everything himself. No staff, no support, no employees. Exactly where I am today.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it once again for those you haven’t read any of my previous writings, “Experience is the best teacher and it doesn’t have to be my experience.”

I can learn from those further along the journey. Sometimes their experience offers wisdom, others encouragement, and others levity.

Today, Saturday, February 8, 2020, I am grateful that:

I may be by myself but I’m not alone. He has, and will continue to send others to assist in my journey. He knows what I need before I do and always makes sure my needs are well met.

Clarity has returned. After a test run with a manuscript from Herb and some feedback, what’s needed for F.T.P. Publishing is becoming clear. I’m starting to get a better vision for the company and the services we can provide.

I received more clarity about obtaining clients for my writing services. From long form sales copy within the Finance and Insurance industry to conducting investigative interviews(like a reporter) for ghostwriting services for subject matter expert branding and positioning. A better way to tell their story, market my services, and create a positive impact have begun to manifest.

Have you identified those you can learn from directly on your journey?

What specific lessons/experiences have you asked them to share?

How often do you speak with them?

Do you have targeted conversations?

How can you enhance, better market, yourself?

What additional product or service can you offer your employer/clients? How will that make their lives/work easier/better?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
