The Post-It note on my laptop

The day you plant the seed is NOT the day you harvest the fruit! Have you ever heard that?

This week, I want to gently remind you that there is a sales cycle for every business. And oftentimes, people become self-critical about where they are in business. The reality is it’s YOUR job every day to just keep going out and planting more seeds!

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” – Robert Louis Stevenson.

Today I want to remind you that your job is to keep the “Funnel Full.” Several years ago, I had stopped networking for a while and also stopped sending out my monthly “warm letters.” I had hit a plateau in my business and wasn’t sure what to do next. But as I went back to my list of potential clients, (the Love ‘Em Up List), I realized my list was VERY Skinny! There weren’t many people on that list that hadn’t already become a client or decided I wasn’t the right person for them or even moved out of the state. I quickly started to spiral out of control – out of fear.

HOW was I going to grow when there weren’t many people to even follow up with? As I sat and stared at my computer screen, I heard 3-words in my mind:

“Fill the Funnel”

I quickly grabbed a post-it and wrote those words on it: “Fill the Funnel” and put it on my computer screen.

THIS became my daily reminder that the only thing I was to spend my time and focus on was FILLING the Funnel!

And I knew that the reason my funnel had dried up was that I had STOPPED doing all the things that in the past had filled the funnel. It was a great time to become recommitted to my marketing. I also knew that I needed to fill the funnel quickly because the day you plant the seeds is NOT the day you eat the fruit.

With this knowledge, how will you proactively Fill your Funnel over the next few weeks??

Want more clients and $$ in September, October, or November? Then you need to be filling the funnel NOW ?

I wanted to also personally invite you to an upcoming FREE Masterclass I’m holding on August 10th at 2 PM (ET)!!
