My evaluation of businesses can get pretty deep into the psychology of influence and persuasion. I really enjoy the SCIENCE of marketing and advertising (Hopkins, Cialdini, Schwartz). Taking apart & fixing core business problems makes me feel alive. Big shout out to this guy!

Excited about some new branding, internal sales, operations, and team components for MannPower Consulting are finally coming together.

I feel like I'm really on my way to fully emerging from this cocoon or self-reflective cave ready show the world what I've been working on and perfecting in our deliverables.

When you see it can get better, but it requires even more of YOU in every area, it is a journey of growth and metamorphosis to not only deliver, but to ARRIVE.

Every great plan requires carefully time-tested and improved strategy as well as a hardening and growing of your inner self to new heights.

That's because in every conflict you will almost inevitably meet the unexpected, but also you will at some point meet other determined and battle-hardened friends and foes, and you have to be ready to go a bit farther and hit a bit harder to stand above the crowd.

This is kind of cheeky, but, I still have to say, case in point, Jake Paul... But don't let his "King Hippo" looks fool you, this large and in charge father of three is a stone-cold killer - or at least he was. I think at this age he's probably looking for a payday that should probably go to Tyson, but you shouldn't count Butterbean out.

Tyson, on the other hand, is in probably the best possible physical shape for his age, and still incredibly dangerous with his technique and power. It's cool that the Paul brothers are keeping people interested in the sport who might not otherwise be.

There's a lesson there as well from a lead-gen perspective.

For me this article headline could just as easily have been,
"The perfect Christmastime boxing event for Eric does not exi..."

"PRINT IT." Sometimes you're second-guessing and need to just move on...and sometimes...it's worth the 2nd pass. 😅

Inflation reached levels we haven't seen since the 70's and 80's in August, despite attempts by the FED to more aggressively raise interest rates. This is putting ENORMOUS pressure on individuals, families, and newer small businesses especially.

I wonder what this month will bring?

I'm interested to hear from you all. What are you going to do about it to offset the effects in your business and personal finances?

The thing that I see working the best so far (besides faith and supporting one another - which is more about how to best EXIST in and through a downturn) is to aggressively grow your own stack in the face of the shrinking economy.

Mix up your offers, hit new channels, and everything with higher conversion focus + more frequency, increasing your chance of a close.

What will you change for yourself and/or your clients and do better this month than last month? What will you take a chance on? The race is on!
