The field of marketing and promotions is a science. Or even better labeled a craft. There are so many directions to head in.
The perfect part about the vast and wide possibilities is that it gives the marketer every oppurtunity and freedom to go in any direction the individual chooses, and create some incredible results.
The unfortunate part is that it can lead down many paths of frustration if the marketer is not aware of what they are motivated by. There appears to be categories of motivation, and each are important. It takes time for someone to decide what is at the heart of their pursutes similar to taking time for the student in college to decide what they want to study.
The most important question to tease the motives out when working in marketing is to ask the questions why? what is the most important thing in my life? or if I could remove all restraints on my capacity to do something what would I do? When I have been the happiest in life what was I doing?
Luckily we live in the country we do that truely allows an individual to decide what is important, what they enjoy doing and then go and find an oppurtunity to do it over and over, becoming over time a master and getting paid very well.
When working with someone to uncover their optimum potential always remember that the same is true for them in business as well, ask telling questions to get to the heart, and I do mean heart of what motivates them. Then utilize this motivation to help them produce incredible results.
We live in a free-enterprise environment which leaves many possibilities, this is great but can leave a person stumped similiar to the writer with the drive to write and no direction to take.
And we live in a Country that pays and recognizes greatness. Greatness comes from repitition of skilled activities countless times over a long period of time. This will only occur with passion if the individual loves what they do.
Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, Robert and Kim Kiyosaki, Venus and Serena Williams, Michael Jordan, all these and many more understand this and went to work over and over and over again creating great results that led to greatness.
The formula has always been there, its time for you to step into it. Find a coach who can uncover your motivation, and then work together with you to inspire you.
