Advertisement Ideas: Be Bold!!!

As I arrived at IMG Strong ARM to be interviewed by Reggie Mathis for The Ask Mathis Radio Show I noticed the production truck and the parking spaces marked for Flo Rida. I went into t he office and introduced myself. I was very early so I asked if there was a place to eat close by and they told me about Franky’s. As I walked over to Franky’s one of the coaches had a trophy from The MLK Basketball Tournament and I asked if I could see it he said yestand I went into show mode and did a quick presentation. Another  coach saw it and said do it again I want to get it on video. By being bold and putting myself out there I was able to use my talents and  create opportunities that can be monetized in the future.

I found Franky’s and was very pleased that I did. Again I was able to be bold and put myself out there. I was eating a sandwich when I overheard a group of people discussing their business and I went over and asked if it would be okay to give them my business card because I thought I could be of service or value to them. This opened up the door to discuss the subject of deflate gate, the situation of The Patriots deflating footballs during the AFC Championship Game. As they left they said thank you and wished me the best of luck. As I finished what I found to be a great a sandwich I thought I would offer to do a testimonial for Franky’s. They said yes and I did a testimonial. Franky the owner then handed me a card for a FREE Small Sub. I walked back to the studio and I decided to pay it forward by giving Shanika the card for the sub she was grateful. By being bold and putting myself out there I was able to forge what will become opportunities to monetize my craft.

One way to be bold is to take pictures and make videos of that which pertains to your business. This is a photo of me with Jessica Childers, QB for The Miami Fury, the team that I am The PA Announcer for. I have been doing Miami Fury Up Close Videos to help promote the team. The reason is because in today’s market place a digital footprint is very important. The idea is when you have the opportunity to put yourself out there to do that and be bold. In my profession the more people who see my work the better the chances to secure more paying gigs.

 I have been told that going business to business and sharing Relay For Life is a pretty bold move.  I would agree because most people are afraid to step out of the comfort zone and ask for help.  My thought is what is the worse they will tell you, no. In the 15 years that I have been doing Relay For Life I have used my bold attitude to ask people for support and it has paid off as I have personal raised over $30,000 to help cancer patients, their friends and their families.

 Some would say it was pretty bold to call these two teams and offer my services as a public address announcer, well I did and guess what I secured a job with each. I worked with The Caliente of The Legends Football League for 2 years until they folded all because I made a phone call and did an audition over the phone. When I heard about The South Florida Gold Of The American Basketball League I immediately contacted them and did an audition on the phone and was hired. I am now in my second season with The Gold and have had some excellent experiences. This all resulted because I took a bold move to make a phone call and offer my services.

 It was  a Saturday afternoon about 4 years ago when I drove by the park and something told me to make the turn into the park so I did.  I saw a youth football game going on. I did not hear an announcer so I went to the press box to offer my services. The gentleman in the press box said he could not approve that  but the VP of the league downstairs could. I went downstairs and offered my services. I was told okay.I have been announcing the games ever since. Some would say it was a bold move because not many people would have done what I did. That is why I encourage you today to be bold and different and see where being bold may lead you.

 Some will not understand your boldness and think you are over the top because they do not understand that by being bold and standing out you create a buzz and attract those needed to help you in your quest for success. In being bold and allowing your heart to lead you and doing what you love to do you will find success.

Take bold actions and  you will experience  improvement in your  life.  It is when you are bold and confident that you find success.
