Email Blast 8/17/2009

Hi _______,

First I want to say yes I know it has been a couple of weeks since I sent out a good old fashion marketing email. I have been working on my blog as a personal goal and what can I say that would not sound like a lame excuse? So I will not bother you with an excuse cause we all know, no excuse is a good excuse. If you have a moment I would love some feedback about My Blog.

Clip of “My life my story”

So some of you know my daughter started first grade. Well I would like to share the night prior to her first day. Yes she was so excited maybe even more so than x-mas eve. She had her cloths set out and her new shoes ready to go. Giving her hug and kiss good night I could feel her little heart just pounding. She finally got to sleep but crawled in bed with mom and dad somewhere around 3am. I woke up at 4:30 and turned over and just seen the brightest smile and these wide awake eyes. She says “I am excited” and I tell her to get some sleep. So 5:30 I wake up and again see that big grin and wide awake eyes. She gave me the BIGGEST hug and just said again “I am just so excited and cannot wait!” That hug was so great and one of those moments I am sure I will cherish for life. The rest of the morning went smooth.

Thinking about you and your business

What keeps you awake at night? Excitement or worries?

As I typed the piece about my daughters first day of school, I sort of changed my mind on what I would share with you as I am thinking about you and your business. I wanted to talk about that excitement we feel when something new in our business is happening. Maybe it is a new client or new office, what gets you so excited you cannot sleep at night. It seems many people speak about what worries keep you awake at night. Two totally different feelings on opposite ends of the satisfaction scale but both leave you awake in your bed. They both get your heart rate up and leave you thinking and wondering. These sleepless nights can really benefit you both personally and professionally. Think about how crazy your days are and now you are lying in bed and it is peaceful. Take advantage of these moments by setting a pen and notebook next to your bed. As you lay there thinking start writing those thoughts and ideas down. There is an entire psychological aspect to this but that is more a conversation than an email. Do not rely on remembering it in the morning (It will not happen). Now considering you are tired you will want to review your ideas when your mind is fresh. Use those sleepless nights to either solve problems keeping you awake or as a way to capture the moment.

Note: Handwriting does not count, write big and where you think you will be able to read it the next day.

Sincerely,
