I am struggling with "the perfect is the enemy of the good" but feel I need to ask one more question before getting on with the web show marketing.
My days of boring y'all with this are definitely coming to a middle.
No, I actually mean 'end.'
My current tagline is: A web show where we talk about the things you just don't want to talk about...but should.
I've been getting pushback on the word 'should' which I do understand.
I'm trying to be a bit controversial because my style is totally appreciative and supportive, BUT very proactive.
Anyway, I just haven't found the perfect words, despite understanding the objections.
This morning, I came up with: The web show where we talk about the things in life that are hard to face, and even harder to talk about.
That seems kind of long.
I have a web person producing a facebook fan page, so I need to make a decision quickly.
I'd appreciate any thoughts!
I make granola in my crock pot, too
GENIUS
Seriously, I must try this. Because I love granola, and it just never goes well when I try to make my own.
This was the recipe I used as my springboard (with granola, you can pretty much throw in whatever you want): [link] It's from a crockpot/slow cooker recipe site, so it's worth poking around for other recipes.
bonny, what about "...the things you don't want to talk about...but need to know"?
Ugh, I burned my boob pretty badly by spilling hot soup on my chest. Slept clutching freezer packs and this morning it's not as painful but has some blistering. I put on Lush Ultra Balm and a large bandaid over the blistery part to protect it from popping before it finishes healing.
Wah.
That's good Amy! I spend so much time thinking that people would be so much happier if they just knew a few things about themselves.
The frustrating thing about this exploration is that I don't know how to answer the question "Why should I come see you?" People struggle with old patterns and beliefs that make them miserable. I can help them overcome them quite quickly.
"Hey! You are miserable. I can help you achieve a state of mind that you can't even imagine right now" doesn't really work.
bonny, what about "...the things you don't want to talk about...but need to know"?
Along those lines, my suggestion is "...but still need to talk about."
Ouchies, Nora! Heal quickly!
IOworkN, I just got voluntold (thanks whoever came up with that word, sorry I cannot remember which spicy brain it came from) to accompany one of the individuals to Hooters for his birthday. For weeks he had been saying he wanted to go to a strip club, but his dad suggested Hooters for dinner instead. Good thinking, dad, cuz a strip club would be even more more awkward for the women who work the PM shift to pull off. Somebody else has a funeral to go to this week, can't I do that instead?
Andi, do you mean, "The web show about the things you still need to talk about"?
I have a confession. This marketing language is the thing that stops me every time I have an idea for how to move forward. Honestly, it is the thing that has blocked my success for the last 13 years.
It makes me want to curl up in a ball.
I've never gotten it right.
I have so much to do...I'm teetering on the ragged edge of disaster right now, on several levels...and THIS is what keeps me from...well, everything.
I'd love to put a cheerful face on it...but just don't have one.
