Advertisement Ideas; Are You Playing At Business Or Doing Business??
I ask this question today as I have realized that there are talkers and there are doers when it comes to business. I recently had a life coach who was teaching marketing skills to his clients in the wrpbitv studios for an interview for my Internet TV Show, the Anything Bucket, which airs on Wednesday Night at 8:00 PM EDT at www.wrpbitv.com. I offered the opportunity for him to purchase a fully edited clip with his contact information for $100 and he said he couldn’t afford to do it at this time. I chalked this up to another chump professing to know marketing and fooling those who believe his shtick. If someone is supposed to be teaching marketing and doesn’t market themselves how good can they truly be? I asked the man are you playing at business or are you serious about doing business? He proceeded to make every excuse why he wasn’t going to buy the clip. It was at that point that I determined that I am only going to seek qualified people who are serious about maximizing their message and who understand the value of having a clip and realize that when you spend money you make money. If you are under capitalized think of a way to find capital and then invest it wisely.
It is all about The Benjamins as with more money you can do more things like give back to the community and thus build your brand by gaining a reputation for being a civic advocate. Each year I seek donations for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton and I support those who donate products, services. and money to the cause. If you are serious about doing business you should visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg1 and make a donation or call 954-254-8227 to donate a product or service. The publicity you receive from this type of support will strengthen your brand and in the long run help you to create additional revenue.
If you are playing at business and you do not have a strategic plan or you are under-capitalized you will be in the same place a month from now as you are today. If you continue to make excuses as why you can not buy a clip from an Internet TV Show or why you can not advertise you will eventually close your doors because you played at business instead of doing business. The time is now to stop playing and doing!!!!

I have heard it so many times about what people were thinking about doing and they never did. Words are cheap action is what is important. Once you speak about it be prepared to take action and bring it to fruition. The key is in the preparation If you want to take a workshop and are ready to apply what you learned in the workshop find a way to pay for the workshop. I know a woman she has been speaking about writing a book for six years. I suggested she begin by writing a chapter and be a contributing author to a book she gave me every excuse not to do this. I left by saying when you are done playing and ready to do to call me.
While many have talked about having a radio show I launched Get Motivated With Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, which is heard on www.blogtalkradio.com/hrafstongradio on Monday at 7:00 PM EDT. The show is now 3 years old.
While others were speaking about blogging I launched this blog and www.the-spiritualawakening.com.
It is in your actions that you will speak volumes. If people see you promoting your business and doing business rather than playing at business they will support your business.
Instead of talking about what you are going to do go do it.

In life you can wait for things to happen or you can make them happen. I was listening to WQAM radio one day and heard about The Lingerie Football League now Legends Football League so I decided to contact them about being the PA Announcer for The Miami Caliente. By taking action I did a phone audition and was hired. I did The Caliente Games For 2 season and did The Playoff Games and Lingerie Bowl 7. Unfortunately The Caliente disbanded. Instead of making excuses I began to put myself out there and as a result I have landed many more gigs.
I have been successful by doing business and being business oriented in everything I do. I developed a seminar called ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK, which has been presented to Jaycees Chapters, Kiwanis Clubs, Lions Clubs, PTAs, and many other organizations. If you are serious about doing business you must have the will to ask and to look for business.
5% OF THOSE IN BUSINESS ARE DOING BUSINESS WHILE 95% ARE PLAYING AT BUSINESS!!! Which category are you in? If you are struggling ask yourself am I playing at business or am I doing business.
