Wake Up Calls

I think the best present you can give anyone is a wake- up call. Often the person who gives it has no idea what they have done or how much value even a passing comment can make.

I found a message on my Instagram account the other day. It was short and sweet and it hit home hard. This was the message -"I was reading your blog and I noticed that you don't have any opt-in pages on any of the posts. Just curious - How do you get your leads?". My reply was even shorter "Good Question". I had actually written over 350 posts on that blog and I hadn't even stopped to consider something that should have been so blatantly obvious to me.

Two other people mentioned that I had a lot of content, but all of it is promoting other people. Third wake up call which I was told some time ago was that my Facebook page is full of animal photos and videos. Since I am not promoting any animal products - it probably seems pretty pointless to people who don't share my obsession with animals'

Don't get me wrong I know all about setting intentions and having a purpose for every piece of content. I just haven't been doing it. So it's all systems change and all systems go for me in 2016. The last few years I have spent a lot of time learning and sharing that knowledge but now it's time to monetize it - wish me luck!

Best wishes to everyone at WA for a Happy Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

A good wake up call. Thanks.

Wow I bet you are happy they made that comment. Great content is important but leads are the reason for your work. I know that 2016 is going to be a good one for you!!

All the best, Hilary. We are hearing you.

Good heads up. Agree with Izpo. Happy 2016 Hillary

that is something we all need from time to time.

You know, when we become aware is maybe not as important as what we do about it.

Good insight Hilary. i hope the changes you make prove to be successful for you in 2016. The best of luck. Ken

Good luck Hilary,wishing you well for 2016.

Hi Hillary thanks so much for your very honest post, no candy floss. Think quiet a few of us are in the same boat as you. The thing is after a while we can see where we are going wrong, and do something about fixing it. Awesome. Best wishes for 2016 it will be an exceptional year for you I am sure.
