Are you being efficient in your business?  If you are just starting out, this can actually be harmful to the growth of your business.

Before you can become efficient, you need to be effective.  

To be effective, you need to know your clients well; what their needs, wants and desires are and how you can best serve them.  So, you need to actually work with people and see how they respond to your products and services and marketing before you bring in automations.  

Maybe you are just doing what is sufficient, to tick the box that you've done it?

Promoting is a bit like asking someone to marry you; have you even gone on a first date yet? 

How many of you are sick of being promoted to? 

Commerce is where you engage with your clients, where you are interested in them and how you can be a contribution by asking questions like, "Who can I engage with?  How can I be interested and not interesting?"  It means you engage with people because you actually want to know.  It creates a different energy.

Watch this video for more on that difference.

Are you willing to add different energies to your business or is your point of view keeping you stuck in someway?  Are you willing to be the one who takes chances and experiments; to be on the creative edge, looking at both the current times and the trends in your business?

In this video, Lauren Marie asks you to look at what ways can you change your business that would allow your business to transform in a week, and allow your business to grow.  If you have been doing your business the same way for years, what possibilities are now available to you that you haven't considered before?  You need to be willing to grow and change your business to stay current now and in the future.
