Posts Tagged ‘appreciation marketing’

Saturday, I heard an excellent speaker, Ines Kinchen, who speaks about the same thing that I do, Appreciation Marketing. What made her unique was that she spoke with her new baby strapped on the front of her during the entire speech and most of the day. When the baby woke up, she took it in stride and introduced Marquise to the audience. I even got one of his business cards, which are about one-half the size of a regular card and has his picture on the front!

I plan to keep Marquise’s card to remind me to stop making excuses. Ines could have easily passed on the speech with the excuse that she had a young baby. Yet she is a go getter and even though she never mentioned it in her speech, she demonstrated to the audience (and me) that you can do anything despite the obstacles that are thrown in your path.

Too young (Marquise is a baby.) Too old? I can prove that won’t fly. Just had a baby? Ines proved that excuse won’t work. Let’s try something. Reply to this post with an excuse and I’ll bet I can prove someone has gone ahead and beat the odds!
