Effectively Promote Your Business on a Tight Budget
This ‘P’ is Promotion and Publicity. Not to be confused with Marketing. Marketing deals with how you express your essence, your identity, Promotion deals with how you convey your marketing message to your target audience and Publicity is what you get when People notice your offer and talk about it; ideally, you want free Publicity! That happens when your offer is compelling enough it will create some serious buzz. If you are not making enough waves in the media, you ain’t kicking hard enough!
The fundamental assumption through all of these articles is that you want to create a solid, long term business, and that means doing things that your clients can and will agree with. Some people call this doing only White Hat marketing activities. What you need to understand is that you first have to refine your marketing and then you are to start promoting it in a way it will get noticed and publicized.

The Mental Side of Golf – Be Careful What You Say, It Affects Others
Of all the aspects of the game of golf the mental side of golf is surely the quirkiest one. Golf is a social sport and form of recreation. When we play the game by ourselves we have only our own thoughts to listen to and think about. When we play with others that whole scene changes and now we have three other sets of voices to contend with as we try to focus on the task at hand. Of course there are the other golfers on the course as well, that slow foursome in front of you can be a source of irritation and a distraction as well.
I have been fascinated to watch over the years as a simple comment or out of place remark can lead to some very poor results; not only for your self but for others in the group as well. When I show up at the course to play as a single I will get put into the company of the next available threesome; usually with a group of people whom I have never met. This can make for some interesting groupings, as sometimes the group that I am joining is very experienced, and sometimes just the opposite. Playing with raw beginner brings a whole new set of challenges to your game, at least for me. I will find myself wanting to give the fellow a pointer or two; while knowing that lessons belong on the driving range, it is tough to keep my mouth closed.
