Reflecting……People are what’s important

Reflecting…
 
I have noticed, I don’t have the desire as much to wander through the mall or the fancy stores to see what shiny new or pretty things that I may want.
 
When I was a younger, I wanted all the fun, glitzy and glamorous stuff. Fancy china, sterling silverware, a big house, nice car, pretty dresses and sparkly jewelry. Now granted, I still like many of those things, and those that know me well, know my style, girliy, shiny, sparkly, etc I love! lol But I forget why all I wanted them….. Maybe something to do with insecurities and/or the thoughts to “keep up with” our friends or society’s expectations.
 
Over the years I’ve lost that desire, and now I have no need to acquire things just for the sake of having them. I still absolutely love my *pretties*…..But moreso now my focus is to have a fun, comfortable, relaxing, enjoyable, homey place for people to gather and enjoy each other.
 
The focus is on the relationships, not all the stuff. I have decluttered a lot over the past few years, and I am still in decluttering mode, pretty majorly
 
The bottom line is that it’s always about the people. Family, friends, business associates that have become friends are what life is about. I can have all the money in the world, and I am very grateful and thankful for all that God has brought into my life and blessed me with, with my amazing clients that I help with web, graphics, marketing and all the other online space platforms, speaking engagements, people I coach, but if I don’t share love, respect and time with others, I have nothing.
 
So I’m reflecting on what’s really important to me. It’s always the people, and my goal every day is to show love, caring and compassion, and put more thought, time and energy into reinforcing those connections…….If we haven’t connected recently in person, or if not local, through skype or google hangout, for a one on one (just catch up and personal get to know each other hour) please reach out to me. 🙂

Some possibly alarming stats for your business

Why do your CLIENTS LEAVE YOU? It’s not what you think!
68% is PERCEIVED INDIFFERENCE – (they don’t think you care about them)

Studies show that the average person won’t take action until they’ve heard or seen your message at least 7 times. It is VITAL to your business to have a systematic way for keeping in touch.

95% of your customers will purchase from a competitor on an impulse even if you provide a great service.
This just shows the importance of staying Top-Of-Mind with them.

66% of your business within the next 12 months should come from your sphere of influence. How are you staying in touch with them?

The average company loses 52% of it’s customers every 5 years…Cost of replacing them can be 6-7 times more expensive. The #1 reason for leaving is that they forget about you, the #2 reason is that they feel you took their business for granted.

62% of your clients aren’t taking advantage of all of your products or services.

For every month that you don’t communicate with your client, you lost 10% of your influence….if 10 months go by without communication, you’ve lost 100% of your influence!
