Many entrepreneurs (myself included) struggle to maintain consistency on their blog. For some the challenge is finding enough time, for others it’s feeling unsure of what to write and the list of excuses we make for not blogging goes on and on. As a marketing professional I fully understand the importance of blogging for your business, I know that when I share content on a consistent bases my website traffic goes up and my phone rings more frequently. And, because people who follow my blog already see value in what I offer and recognize me as an expert in my field the sales process is more of a “when and how” conversation than an “if” conversation. So rather than allowing myself (my clients, and my followers) to continue to use “lack of time” or other excuses for not blogging Miss Kemya and I decided to put our keyboard where our mouth is {I’m not quite sure the wordplay in that cliche works…but you get the point LOL} and not only challenge ourselves but all of you as well. This is the NO EXCUSES, NO LIMITS challenge and it’s free, fun, and very rewarding. So what are you waiting for? Here are all of the details:
