We haven’t failed.
We now know a thousand things
that won’t work,
so we’re that much closer
to finding what will.
~ Thomas Edison
Running your business sometimes feels like you are always climbing a mountain and never reaching the top. Then all of a sudden you are taking the right steps and getting closer to the peak of the mountain.
Like Thomas Edison said, we are not failing when are new advertising program is not working we are discovering what techniques to change.
I decided my new niche would be working with the Unemployed to find work. Created a website, ordered business cards and started advertising this new service. As time went on I realized that the unemployed were afraid to spend money and hire Love Yourself Coaching. My saving grace was that the clients I did work with each one of them found a job.
At first I kept trying with very little success to find new clients. It finally hit me that I needed to change my focus. Reading Thomas Edison’s quote, realized I did not fail and was closer to finding what will work.
Please share your experiences as a business owner so we can all work together in finding what will work instead of just climbing that mountain with little success.
I look forward to hearing from you.
