Get Ourselves Back to the Garden
Last week at my High Output Networking event (www.highoutputnetworking.com), Nancy Eagles from Inanna Herbal Remedies (www.inannaherbs.com) ended her 90-second plug with the slogan “We’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.”
“We’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden” is a line from Joni Mitchell’s song “Woodstock”.
Nancy recognized how this line fits so well with what she does. She creates natural products using natural herbs hand-picked from wild gardens around B.C.
When I heard this slogan, I asked myself: “How does this apply to me and all the other business professionals at this networking meeting?” The first thing that entered my mind was the importance of “walking the talk”. All of us at the meeting are experts in at least one specific area. How are we getting ourselves back to our gardens? In my mind, that means asking myself this crucial question: “How I am living and applying the advice I deliver to my clients on a regular basis?”
Am I following the 5-Step LIFFT® Process I expect my clients to implement? Am I actively marketing my business? Do I use the layer approach? Am I committed to following up? Do I track results? Is my core message in line with the type of clients I want to continue working with?
I can proudly say; “Yes”. My question to you is: Are you applying the advice you give your clients to your own business?
If not, take one step today towards getting yourself and your business back to the garden.
