All marketing starts with a problem. Do you agree?

Whether you are marketing your company’s latest venture or you are looking for your next career move, all marketing starts with a problem. Once you’ve identified what that problem is, you can begin to craft a plan for solving it.

Research shows that a person must see your message at least 5 times before it begins to register. In today’s world, where digital is queen, figuring out how to capture someone’s attention that many times is a challenge.

We spend more time on our phones that we do watching television today. The best way to get that message out now is by making yourself a part of the community. Be a resource. People want dialogue and relevance.

Think about what you have to offer. Would a live facebook event where you share your story and experience be right for you? What about a free PDF where you offer a sample marketing plan that exceeded your expectations? If you can find a way to become a resource – a way to help eliminate a “pain” in someone’s life or workday – you will be one step ahead of your competition.

I believe it’s vital for women to pay it forward and be supportive of each other and the work (both professional and personally) each other does. We need to share what we learn along the path and not hold it tight. We need to light the path for those younger women beginning their climb, so their voices and ideas can shine. Remember, we don’t have to be perfect at what we do. We just have to be perfectly us doing it.

Our scars and baggage show the world we have made it this far on the journey. We’ve coped with the sadness, disappointments, and failures and still managed to find moments to celebrate and grow along the way.

It’s time to set jealousy and competition aside and celebrate the accomplishments of each of us. We need to share the lessons we’ve learned along the way so others realize their struggles are not in vain. We need to celebrate what makes each of us unique and special.
