My suggested “deep dive” review (5 blog posts above) will take just 30 minutes out of your day, but the fresh new perspective you gain afterward may last you a lifetime!

Vote For The “Tagline” You Prefer Most

May 21, 2009 By Alex Mandossian 253 Comments

Recently I changed the “look and feel” of this blog.  Although I’m happy with the graphics, I think my tagline on the banner can be improved.

It currently promises this:

“Practical Marketing Tips for Information Publishers, Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurial CEOs”

leaning-to-rightThis morning I crafted four more tagline ideas which I feel better expresses the “promise” of this blog.   Take a moment and “comment” on which of these four choices (A, B, C or D) you like most.

A: “Proven Strategies for Entrepreneurs Who Want to Get More Done – Faster, Better and Easier”

B: “Tested Marketing Tips That Boost Your Profits and Productivity – Faster, Better, With Less Human Effort”

C: “Practical Ideas for Entrepreneurs to Get More Done – Faster Better, Easier”

D: “Principle-Centered Strategies that Boost Profits and Accelerate Productivity”

Feel free to add your own ideas if you got a better one.  Any suggestion will be most appreciated and I plan on changing the existing tagline by the end of this month.

Survey Results: Readers Want 2 Posts Per Week

January 7, 2009 By Alex Mandossian 8 Comments

nope-image.jpgOn December 30th, 2008 I posted a survey so my readers could decide if 3 posts per week would be better than 2 posts per week.

Over 320 readers voted and the final tally I took revealed 202 – NO votes compared to 119 – YES votes.  The Blog Dialogue survey result was a WIN-WIN for me because I get do less work and serve more of my readers.

Starts Immediately: So as of Thursday, January 8th, my blogging editorial calendar will 2 posts per week that show up every Thursday and Tuesday (every week in 2009) at precisely 8:44am Eastern.

One of my core premises is: “People support what they help to create.”  And thesimplest way to get support is to “Ask.” That sounds simple, but it’s not easy.

The”Ask Principle” is what the Greek Philosopher, Socrates discovered nearly 2,500 years ago, which is now known as the The Socratic Method.  It is what Gandhi insinuated when he said, “In order to G-E-T you must first A-S-K.”  

And it is what George Gallup did for most of his professional life - assessing public opinion on political, social, and economic issues, including the hopes and fears of people around the globe, their leisure-time activities, their morals, beliefs, etc.

What To Do Now: In 2009, I want you visit and revisit this blog on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  When you do, you’ll see a new blog post that appears at precisely 8:44am Eastern. 

It may seem silly to you, but for me, having that level of consistent precision (Tuesdays, Thursdays at 8:44am Eastern) makes me more predictable to you.  And predictability typically leads to Trust.

Breaking Through the Far Side of Disappointment

December 31, 2008 By Alex Mandossian 36 Comments

cliffs_110.jpgWikipedia has an interesting way of definining “disappointment.”  If you take a moment to look the word up, here’s what you’ll find:

“The feeling of dissatisfaction that follows a failure of expectations to manifest.  It differs from regret in that the individual feeling regret focuses primarily on personal choices contributing to a poor outcome, while the individual feeling disappointment focuses on the outcome.”

Looking back on my own marketing accomplishments, one of the things I’m certain of is that my disappointments inspire me to storm the gates that others gladly sneak past.

When you learn how to handle disapointments – miscommunications, violated expectations or thwarted intentions – as welcomed guests into your business life, you’ll have the mindset of cheerful expectancy of having a breakthrough not long after :-)

If you feel what I’m saying is just a bunch of [Read more...]
