TIME AND EXECUTION

Last week, I met two service providers and had a chat about business. Both of them have admittedly, that their businesses were not doing particularly well. 

One cited the lack of clients, while the other one cited the lack of time for the delivery.

Obvious to their situation, it doesn't take time to figure out that both of these professionals lack the awareness of their own marketing effectiveness or just plain effectiveness. 

Time is also a silly excuse considering that this is not an avocation but a fully operational business. Lack of time to market and get in front of your customers means that you have decided that doing other activities are important than that. Period. 

Lack of client means one thing: you are lacking the activity that will attract, convert, and retain those clients that are precious for your business to grow. 

You can control these variables:  time, talent, and available resources.

If you are, not then either you have given up, have inadequate strategies, or you are not executing those things that you know you should be doing. 

Check yourself in the mirror.
