Quit it! Quiet! Don't toot your own horn! Somewhere in life someone has told you that you need to be reserved....that only braggarts talk about themselves and kind, respectable people are modest.

Ladies and gentleman, I have an announcement to make....If you want to learn how to master marketing, you better find a way to dispel these myths and learn how to let the world know about all that you're doing through any and every avenue. Blogging, podcasting, press releases, e-blasts, you need to become a marketing machine. When great things happen, you need to use it to your advantage and let the world know. While humility is a virtue and it's important to share credit with others, you can't expect future clients to be mind readers.

It's only February, I've already had a great year. I won a national Woman of Excellence award, was accepted into Leadership California, finished my first of many books, have had the opportunity to speak at some incredible venues, have received lots of good press about Upside Thinking, and have connected with some amazing men and women in business! Whew! Like I said, it's only February!

What have you been doing lately? What have you accomplished? Who have you told? What's the buzz about you? Do you know? How many people would you estimate know what you've been up to lately? Come on, write those press releases!
