Most of the stuff on the web about Marketing sounds like it could have been written by a corporate wonk with an MBA. It's stuffed full of terms that sound tedious even before you start working through the detail and trying to construct a plan.

And imagine how hard it's going to be after that - to suddenly generate exciting & innovative marketing ideas.

So even if you want to wade through that stuff you'll need some fresh ideas so you don't end up  thinking and sounding like everyone else.

As a taster .. challenge yourself with the following questions ?

• If your main way of finding new customers were destroyed - what fallback options have you prepared ?

• Are the marketing steps you're taking small or large - & who would agree with this view ?

• What's the rhythm of your marketing process sound like? Fast or irregular with long rests ?

That's just a few of dozens of ideas that we can send to challenge you as you work on your marketing..... Appetizing ideas to stimulate and release the creative instincts pent up inside you.

These ideas are blended into a series with real marketing insights from gurus across the World. And in case you wondering we learnt our marketing in the trenches - in the small business world - not in some corporate marketing department with a fat budget.

Obviously you can put them into a templated document, marketing plan or something like that if you want... Or just into your notebook.
