(Especially When You’re Just Starting Out!)
You’re definitely serious about being or becoming a successful entrepreneur, right? This being the case. You simply have to be prepared mentally. Because struggle is a major part of what’s happening to you/us.
Especially when you’re initially starting out. Anybody disagree with that statement? I sincerely hope not. But you may be wondering. So when does the constant struggle finally come to an end? That’s a great question.
But are you prepared to strategically play the long game or not?
This Is Why Most Creative Marketing Strategies And Tactics Are Usually More Than Enough To Effectively Move You Off Center!
Entrepreneur before you boldly proclaim you simply don’t have direct or indirect access to the types of traditional ad or promotional budgets. The fortune 500 types do. (News flash; neither do 99% of the rest of us. Just saying. 😎
But you most definitely have all the direct or indirect access you want to some form of creative marketing thinking. Do you not? The $64,000 dollar burning question is. Why aren’t you both strategically and systematically utilizing it?
Sadly most profit seeking small business owners and or service providers. (Especially those primarily bricks & mortar types.) They/you’re literally sitting on a previously untapped goldmine of long term marketing possibilities.
Of course your built in skeptical meter is off the charts right about now. Am I correct? Are you willing to put your money where your skepticism is?
Like It Or Not Entrepreneur! (You’re Definitely Gonna Need To Add Some Type Of Marketing Flexibility To The Mix!)
Let me share a rather graphic example of what I mean by adding some type of creative marketing flexibility to your long term marketing mix.
Think about your typical local, non franchised car wash dealership. And think about “what” type of local consumer frequents this type of service business. Local residents who own or lease all types of transportation, correct? So this includes, cars, trucks, vans and SUV’s correct?
And some high end vehicles too, right? But guess what else entrepreneur? These local men and women also spend money in their local economy on other goods and services, correct?
Things like what you so skeptically ask? Things like nice tires, periodic tune ups, transmission repair. Tinted windows. Car detailing, car stereos. Investment advice, upscale restaurants, fancy computer systems, professional landscaping. For both their residential, investment or commercial properties etc.
Having decks built for their primary residence. All types of appliances or furniture etc. Are you starting to at least partially smell, some of the previously untapped marketing possibilities ladies & gentlemen? 😀
It would or will only take a few successful JV (Joint Venture) revenue share arrangements. For these non franchised local car washer dealership owners.
To start generating a nice, steady side income. Which they could? Pretty much do whatever they wish to do. To create some long term wealth, correct?
It Really Doesn’t Take A Ton Of Steady Income To Create A Whole New Lifestyle Of Possibilities!
People are going to be consumers no matter “what” their particular income level is, right? The key is for you and I as aspiring entrepreneurs. To get creative. And leverage these different potential customer bases.
Without going broke first. 😀 Otherwise you and I have a tendency to struggle. That’s why until or unless you add some type of long term creative marketing to the mix ladies & gentlemen. Be prepared to struggle. (Both emotionally and financially.) Especially in the very beginning stages of your entrepreneurial journey.
Entrepreneur are you up for the challenge?
