Hey January 2016, what is up? This might be the first time in a number of years that on January 1st I’m neither tired, hung over or out partying some where. While the offers were many, and I’m appreciative for the invitations I decided that this year I’d just continue to work through, strategise and keep things going.
You see I’ve already been living and working in 2016 about a month or so now. I’ve been thinking and dreaming of it for a few months now, as I’m sure anyone that works in the Marketing or Digital space will agree. We’re not ones for living in the now, but we’re always looking forward and to the future.
Yes at times it’s crazy and people wonder why I’m thinking about the rest of the year. Quite simply put – success. The best plans, promotions offers and activity aren’t thought of that day, nor put into action on the fly. For things to be executed effectively proper planning along with time lines and strategies are key. Any good promotional and marketing strategy will have been thought of in advance and announced at just the right time. Getting in to alert audiences and then capture that market and demographic. It’s not rocket science, it’s in fact logic.
Having a calendar and strategy in place is key to the successful execution of any project. Whether business it’s business, personal or for a kids birthday party. Plan that shit or watch it hit the fan real quick!
My clients all have their strategies set as do I for the coming year. I’ve already achieved a few of my goals for next month, along with others for the year. Setting things in play to later for when I’m ready and need them. Being organised doesn’t take a genius, but it does take structure, strategy and also commitment. It’s project to project to project management. Essentially that’s what we do here at Creative Little Soul. We organise, execute and deliver a range of products and services. We’re exceptionally good at it because I’ve always had some rain man esque love for protocol and procedure and you know that? Having developed these systems, automation and skills allows me, us and everyone to be successful at multi tasking and doing many things.
Having a calendar and utilising it in your life is awesome and means you know what’s happening and in advance. I’m not talking the one on your email or phone. Both of those are good to have and utilise (I keeps me on track and reminds me when I’ve got appointments and meetings). I wont book a meeting, catch up or anything unless I’ve checked mine. Mostly to make sure I don’t double book but also don’t over extend myself either.
Funny fact, did you actually know that there is such a thing in retail called “Calendar Season”? I shit you not. When I lived and worked in the states and even here I’ve had issues trying to find a calendar out of the “season”. When I asked what this said season was and when it started and finished, no one could give me a definitive answer except “not now”..
So my gift to you? You guessed it. A Creative Little Soul Inspirational Calendar and it’s FREE.. Because let’s be real who doesn’t love free stuff.
