Many times we arrive at a conversation with a strong notion of the direction we believe the conversation ought to take.
This blocks out the chance for magical marketing ideas and future practices to burst forth.
- Open your mind, allow space for surprises – and abundance – to take form.
- Instead of listening for a break in the conversation so that you may say what you have said many times before, give yourself room to contribute differently.
- Acquaint yourself with the power of using Beginner’s Mind: in doing so, you will learn to trust your intuition, become more creative and leave space for the genius who is waiting for the know-it-all within you to step aside.
How to practice this:
When you read something new, like this blog post, read a section and then take five minutes of quiet to allow the message to settle in without allowing your intellect to chase it around, to “understand what it means.”
When you are in a conversation with someone and they say something – especially if it triggers a specific thought in you – simply respond with, “Tell me more about that…”
Playfully experiment with this notion and then come back and let me know how it went. Then think how it may apply to your marketing.
What haven’t you thought of using in your marketing before that you will now?
Get ready because we are about to start done a really fun, fruitful path: storytelling for marketing with your one page marketing plan.
I’m so excited!
