Do one thing that never stops.

Busyness is the enemy of marketing — Kelford Labs Daily

It is, though, isn’t it?

Marketing’s easy when you’ve got time on your hands. When you’re looking at a sparse pipeline and you suddenly get the motivation to post, to write, to promote.

But once things get busy again... goodbye marketing.

I know this happens because it happens to everyone, including me.

I haven’t really posted on LinkedIn for weeks now. Yes, a link to a newsletter here and there, the occasional Like of a friend or client’s content, but nothing truly substantial.

Why? Because we’re busy and it felt easy to skip.

But you may have noticed one thing:

This newsletter is still going.

Despite the busyness, despite the stress and fatigue that comes with having a lot on the go, this element of our marketing keeps going, too.

Why? How?

Because it’s a habit. Because it feels bad not to.

That’s my secret, and that’s the secret of sticking with your marketing even when you’re busy with other things:

Focus on doing one thing and make it a habit.

So that when you get caught up with other things, you don’t skip that one.

And when things slow down a bit, or you suddenly find yourself with motivation, you’re not starting from scratch.

Because you never stopped.
