Sometimes You Just Gotta Do The Next Thing

Sometimes You Just Gotta Do The Next Thing! Are you stuck today? Feel like the wind got sucked out of your sails?  Life happens, computers crash, projects get ruined on the hard drive and if you're a business owner, you might believe you just aren’t ‘cut out’ to do this sort of thing.

Actually, here it is: When I saw this, a thought popped into my head, “What if this deadline is just to produce scarcity? What if this just the best direct response marketing piece of all time?” Are you still asking yourself “What is the ROI on social media?” Do you really need to ask that anymore?
