Marketing Ideas are Everywhere

Marketing ideas can be the most powerful force in your business.

The beginning of a good marketing idea is usually found in simply paying attention to the cross-discipline marketing efforts going on all around you. In fact, getting life it'self is enhanced by the Art of Paying Attention.

After 50 years of being an instinctive automatic marketing guy - I found myself going through a soul searching experience to determine what direction I should take with my 7th career incarnation.

11 years as a professional rock and roll musician and singer, salesperson, business owner, financial services, (oh yeah, I was the pastor of a church in Texas for a year and 3 years in seminary, too!) then professional speaker and author which I retired from in May of 2005. Now I happily wake each day here in Denver, Colorado, USA and work on my Internet marketing business.

But, what did I want to be when I grew up?

Like a knock up side of the head I had an epiphany last week - that the thing that people around me know is that I am a marketing idea generation machine.

It's uncanny - and I'm not bragging - just reporting - that if someone gives me practically any situation in business - I just cannot help but blurt out some creative unusual way to market it better and make more money - expand the business, cut costs, and increase profits.

I don't know where it comes from - but it goes OUT of my mouth and brain.

So that is what I am going to focus on here in this, my home page blog.

This is going to be (as Tommy Boy said when the deer woke up in the back seat and trashed his buddy's cherry convertible classic Chevy" "That was - - - - AWE-SOME!"
