I mentioned in my last post that I am skill-building in Marketing and Sales.
Because I am doing this skill-building in activities I’m not naturally talented at, I have to do more than just watch a couple online tutorials, listen to Zig Ziglar tapes and presto! Sales and Marketing Genius!
Furthermore, there is a LOT of noise in this particular space.
Check your Facebook feed – how many ads do you see promising that you can make tons of money for less than 1 hour a week? Most of these folks are selling marketing solutions.
Nope, I have to use everything I’ve learned about learning and make a plan.
Treat mastery in uncomfortable topics as the project that it is.
I take a 6 prong approach.
Prong 1 – Collect information – get the lay of the land.
Prong 2 – Find a mentor – for feedback and accountability
Prong 3 – Develop a schedule of deliverables – making sure I actually DO something with what I am learning
Prong 4 – Create a safe space for experiments – to minimize risk
Prong 5 – Cultivate an experimental mindset – to minimize procrastination
Prong 6 – Share what I’ve done into the big scary world.
Through these 6 prongs, I am gaining knowledge, applying what I learn, and practicing for mastery.
I’ll talk about details in the next few posts.
I am offering a free 45-minute Masterclass.
