Last week pretty much zapped the energy right out of me! The weather was gloomy, I had a few problem/resolution situations to take care of, and a great deal of monthly work left with the end of the month just a few days away. Yet, it was one of the most inspiring weeks I’ve had recently. We developed a plan of action to get our name out more, with our investment being mostly our time, expertise, and our motivation to illustrate that we are industry experts and have the proven experience to back it up.

A lot of great ideas get a lot of spark in the brainstorming phase, but seem to fizzle out after that. I was so proud to see my team fully embrace our plan of action and set out on it, needing only just a few words of encouragement and direction. It’s a trait I’ve seen again and again in our industry – such a desire to constantly move forward, learn more, and better ourselves. We’re not 9-5 pencil pushers, we’re creatives that happen to know quite a bit about search. This passion to continue thriving, regardless of the stressful days, gives us the motivation to want to continue growing a small business in this economic landscape. In turn, we have a desire to learn more, pass this knowledge on to client’s via their SEO and social media services, and always keep moving ahead.
