How many hours have you lost to “quick” calls that go nowhere, proposals that get ghosted, pitches you never had a real shot at?

Remember This? I Pulled this out of the archives yesterday. I put together this workbook in 2011 to help small businesses get clear about their USP and how to stand out. I went through it yesterday and everything in there still holds today. It’s even more noisy out there, and very few products or services stand out. I’ve made this available as a digital download. If you’d like to learn how to interview your key stakeholders for strategic insights, if you’d like to learn how to do brand strategy and offer it as a service or if you’d like to get clarity on your target audience there are exercises here that are super helpful. If you'd like the digital download here's a link: https://rhonda-s-site-7647.thinkific.com/products/digital_downloads/know-your-difference-workbook

I've started a Substack called "The way we do things" where I'm going to write articles about observations of how things are done and what we can do to make them better in the world. I believe that positive changes begins with questioning what's going on. My first article was called "Wasn't the Milkman the same as the Circular Economy" Why we trying to reinvent the wheel when the wheel has already been invented. https://thewaythingsaredone.substack.com/p/was-the-milkman-the-same-as-the-circular?r=7i8k5
