“Success by a thousand cuts” was my favorite quote from Jake McKee, a speaker at the recent BlogOrlando unconference. Jake is a bright guy with an interesting background. That particular quote inspired me. I am currently spending a huge amount of my time working on marketing my beloved TalentDatabase.com via viral means online. And though the efforts thus far have been successful, I’ve still found myself frustrated at times. Why aren’t we media darlings yet? Why aren’t (our admittedly good) registrations twice what they are? Why isn’t is bigger, faster, sooner?
No one event or marketing tactic or viral method is going to push us immediately to the top. We are achieving success by a thousand cuts. I find comfort in that perspective. Thanks Jake.
Glad you got something out of the session!
It’s easier to make it through the day when you remember that those papercuts are leading somewhere… even if they sting, more than a little.
