What does that even mean to you? For me, it means I’m looking forward to taking a break and enjoying some conversations that aren’t about link development and well-written words on a page.
A change of pace is good for all of us, and it gives us a chance to reflect. These last two years have been crazy busy with the best clients in the world. I’m thankful for Jesus, friends and family. I’m thankful for my husband and my seriously great life, too, which would not be possible without the support and encouragement of all of the above! I’m also very grateful and thankful for you.
I don’t get a whole lot of comments on here, but unlike many in the marketing world, I’m not worried about that at all. I’m not the biggest social media user in the world, either. That ought to give you some encouragement! I’m constantly busy producing, constantly in-demand, and it’s because we’re on the right track. The bottom line is that when our clients are successful, we’re successful. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
We’ve been through some big changes here at Susan Hamilton Copywriting, all because we believe in what we’re doing. My writing assistant, Bridget, has helped me manage our accounts, freeing me up to get more involved with my team at Zero To Sixty Marketing LLC.
Last September, Shari asked me to join her as a partner and I accepted. It’s a wild ride already! So much to do, so much to figure out when you’re growing. We now have a Dallas office and I’m bouncing off the walls thrilled!
My advice to any of you who wonder if the timing for growth is right for your business today, is to listen to Warren Buffet. He says he’s never made buying decisions based on changeable factors, like interest rates. An intelligent business decision is based on provable constants.
I’m excited to be a part of the American economic recovery, and you should be too. That clarity charges my batteries and makes everything I do valuable. I urge you to fire yourself up this week.
Get with your families, support small and local businesses, and instead of talking about how it’s all falling to hell, start the discussions that bring progress and change. We all matter in times like this. We all have something to offer to help or encourage another business.
Our words matter. Encouragement comes in word form. Hearing those words from mouths on faces that express, on eyes that respond or light up … is truly the priceless thing to be thankful for. Ask a soldier. Go to a nursing home. It’s a provable truth, a constant.
Put your phones down this week. Get away from your laptop. Go find out what people are really thinking and plug yourself in. Truly, if evolution existed, where are the extra thumbs and ears we should have by now?
I love you all, and wish you a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving feast. Go Cowboys! ~Susan
