I will be eternally grateful for your great gift of taking in to the fullest extent what it is that I
have to offer, living it, and then reflecting it back in terms of the potential experience of others.
You have given words to a process that defies words. And you’re constantly in a position to help
me continue to hone that, deeper and deeper and more and more resonantly, who I am and what I offer,
which is truly invaluable. — Jon Hansen, 
What you’ve sent me is so darn perfect it hurts! It’s a sheer pleasure to work with someone
who writes as beautifully as you do — and in “my” voice. — Ariane Goodwin, Ed.D,
You have a real gift for words. You’re really, really good at it. — Sherry Essig,
What IS marketing – really?
I have readers who subscribe to both my newsletter and this blog, so to avoid being redundant, I don’t post my newsletters here.
However, I’ve received some comments on my last newsletter that led me to think it would be fun to initiate some discussion here about, well, about what marketing really is.
Here’s the link to read the article: What’s marketing – really?
And then join the discussion. What do you think – or more realistically, what do you feel – about marketing? And how do those feelings either support what you’re doing, or make it difficult?

Jamie – Yes, exactly so!
And yet it’s so easy to lose this (been there, done that!) when we worry about how we’re being heard.
Know what you do AND know who you do it for. And then know WHY you do it.
That clarity helps make your message crystal clear, compelling, and – the best part! 
– easy to communicate.
Thanks for your comments!

This is spot on: I have information when I am teaching that students need in order to be successful; I have a product and information that will help my clients lead healthier lives. I have to remember I am a teacher first in both instances.
