Usually, what holds back marketing is *not* that it “isn’t working.”

It’s that *we’re* not working *it*.

What I mean is, how often have you put something out into the market (like a LinkedIn post, a newsletter, an ad, or a TikTok) and had it “not work”?

Versus:

How often have you simply *not posted it* because you were worried it wouldn’t?

**The secret to marketing success is recognizing it as a** [**performance**](https://kelfordinc.com/commentary-secret-marketing-performance/)**.**

You might read that and think, “Great, that’s what I’m worried about. People watching and judging me.”

But no, that’s not what I mean. What I mean is, like any performance, it takes [*practice*](https://kelfordinc.com/practice-before-you-perform-kelford-labs-daily/).

That’s where quality, consistency, and efficacy come from.

Not from avoiding our marketing for so long that it eventually works despite us.

**But practicing our marketing for so long that it eventually works for us.**
