So, are you in the groove when it comes to creating content for your marketing?
Hi, I’m Mark Bullock. I’m the co -founder of Videosocials.net and phoneBlogger.net.
Kind of a strange question, but we’ve talked many times about being in the habit of whatever we want to accomplish. If it’s something that requires repetition, the more repetition that we do, the the more habit… more of a habit that we form, the easier that it becomes.
Somebody mentioned to me today — who had taken a break from Videosocials for a little while and came back — that ‘oh, just… I’m not in the groove,’ and that really got me thinking.
You know, I do a lot of these, so, it’s easier for me to be in the groove because I’m basically doing it daily. For everybody else that’s a member of Videosocials, you know, you get a once -a -week thing and some of you have signed up as far as unlimited packages and that’s wonderful. And what I… what it keeps coming back to for me though, is is that it’s a whole lot easier to do something that’s difficult — it’s a whole lot easier to do something that stretches us, if we’re in the habit of doing it, right. So, it allows us to ‘get in the groove.’
All of the stuff that we had to get through — the logistics, the practices, everything that it’s taken for us to kind of hone in and find our voice and find our style, etc., becomes so much easier if we stay with it. In other words, we keep doing it.
If we step away — sometimes we have to — life happens, right? So… but then come back and get back in the groove. And the best way to get into that groove is just get right back on the horse and go for it. That first time might feel a little bit intimidating or invoke a little bit of anxiety, but once you’re back in the groove — it usually only takes a time or two — then everything gets a lot easier and kind of like riding a bicycle, right? You never forget. It’s just you get a little rusty and you have to be back on the bike again for a little while.
So, several different analogies that I’m kind of throwing in all at the same time, that all comes back to — did you get out of the groove? Just get back in — back on the horse — back in the saddle.
Hope you found that valuable. If you did, you’ll find lots of other tips at Videosocials.net/Academy . Again, Mark Bullock, Videosocials.net. Have a great day.
