HI Eric!
For me, it would be less time spent on marketing. Why? Because I don't like it! I hope my clientele will all be word-of-mouth referral based, and that is what most of it is. However, until I get a bit more established, I must market. I just started my business in Sept, so am not well known.
I am new to marketing, so have taken courses and am doing the "homework". This is a lot of writing and planning, and trying to decide what is good, what is me etc. I know in the long run it will pay off, so am okay with doing it. But right now it is time spent on paper when I could be talking to people. I prefer person-to-person over email- I love people contact! (as long as I'm not trying to sell my services, lol!) If I had less marketing I would have more people contact. I need to do the marketing to get the people!
If I could spend more time on one business activity, it would be providing workshops and speeches. I am new to this, so it's a challenge, and I really enjoy it. I would love to do group coaching (haven't done any yet). Why do I enjoy it? I enjoy the synergy of a group. If I do it successfully, I think my business will take off. To do more talks/workshops/group coaching, I would need to figure out what I'm going to do it on, write an outline, develop it, practise it, find a place, advertise and do it. What's stopping me is I'm busy doing other marketing things- perhaps I should concentrate on this marketing strategy! And of course my old tapes that I don't have anything important to say, noone will listen, I'll bomb etc.
Thanks Eric for helping me gain clarity on my marketing plan!
