]]> Comment on The Authentic Woman’s Guide to Marketing by Eydie http://www.katytafoya.com/2010/02/the-authentic-womans-guide-to-marketing/comment-page-1/#comment-37 Eydie Thu, 04 Feb 2010 23:32:59 +0000 http://www.katytafoya.com/?p=849#comment-37 Thanks, Katy, for sharing this article.  I, too, took away a lot from what Christine said.  Getting over the fear of being an expert is one of them. Now, I'm not the guru of new media - and I really don't consider myself an EXPERT! However, I do know more than most and in the eyes of some, I AM the expert - and I once read that an expert is not a person who knows everything - but the person who knows how to find the answers!  And that's me! Follow up is huge. I have a friend who hosted a workshop. She had 15 people who said they would attend. So, my friend prepared folders with handouts for 15. The day of the workshop - only 2 showed up. Why?  She didn't follow up. No reminder calls or emails - nothing. Well, she won't let that happen again!

I just posted a great video that can walk you through most of this on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SuccessForSolopreneurs" rel="nofollow">Success for Solopreneurs Fan Page</a> and I'll be reposting it here in a couple of minutes. Seems their subtlety or <em>not so subtlety</em> encouraging people to be more open in the transparent, social vein of social networking. Not everyone is happy about this.

But though we do not need more time to decide (in the absence of getting additional inf), we often need more time to create. Blog posts, books, vlogs, etc. Time WILL help us in that case.
