It started this morning, I got up early as the sun is in full bloom by 5.30 ( summer in Australia) so I had pleny of time to do all I wanted.
The funny thing about time is that You think you can control it but no, it has its own way.
Because I was not in a rush I did those few extra bits and dilly dalied around until I was again running late.
Now I had to be in my normal hussel to meet some deadlines that don't move.
I work better under pressure, get it done and no messing around makes an hour into half that time.
But one thing I did this morning was take a bit more time with my emails and read one from Jan Pedrew
about story telling.
This has become a critical element in todays blogs, showing you're different to AI and pulling the readers in.
Everyone loves a good story and it keeps those eyes on your page and builds that trust bond we all want.
You can look for stories everywhere and as long as you spin them a bit you will get attention and that will win you a touch of Google love.
So take the time to add a good story to what ever marketing you are doing and see the difference.
Now I know many of you will be agast at a 5.30 am start but It really extends the day.
Start with a few exercises before reviewing my emails and daily stats and making a cup of tea for my wife and watching the news.
A quick breakfast and the off to the beach for a dip in the ocean, cup of coffee with the swimmers and home to tidy up before some Baby sitting duties.
At my desk at 8.30 ready for a big day ahead.
Did I keep you until the end of the page? Mission accomplished
Remember stories count, they are the new In thing in all marketing.
