If you\u2019re in business, you alter people’s lives. And we don\u2019t alter our lives for change, we alter our lives for progress.\u00a0You can schedule posts all day long but if it\u2019s not attractive, it\u2019s pointless. Dean Lindsay, author of Cracking the Networking Code, The Progress Challenge, and most recently Big Phat Goals, explores this topic at the 2017 Rocks Digital Marketing Conference.<\/p>\n
So what is change and what is progress?<\/p>\n
\u201cStrong reasons make strong actions.\u201d \u2013 William Shakespeare<\/p>\n
You can give someone reasons all day long, but the only reason people will change is if they internalize the change.<\/p>\n
What are actions you want people to take? Click, buy, like, follow.<\/p>\n
Once someone has internalized enough reasons, they begin to view what you\u2019re offering as progress. You want your stuff to be their goal. They don’t necessarily want your STUFF, they just want the results your stuff brings.<\/p>\n
Everything we do, consciously or unconsciously, is seeking one (or a mix) of the six Ps:<\/span><\/p>\n The more of those things you can address, the heavier the “reasons” get for people to want what you have.<\/p>\n Change is inevitable, Progress is a choice!<\/span><\/p>\n\n
