Fall forward.  It’s right in front of you.  That’s what I told my son this morning when he asked,  “Mom!  Where are the band aids?”   The band aids have been in the same place in our kitchen cabinet for over a year and he was standing in front of them looking at the box.   He’s 14 years old and very active.  This was not his first trip to the first aid supplies.  All the moms reading this blog already know that the real message here was probably more like this.  “Mom, get a band aid for me and put it on my cut.” 

Our mornings are chaotic so the complete lack of cognitive engagement by my son was really irritating me when I realized this is what most of us do every day.  The answers and solutions are right in front of us.  If we just move forward a tiny bit, take even the smallest amount of responsibility, life would be so much easier.  Success!  Small little band aid sized successes all day long instead of expecting someone or something to provide our solutions.

So for all of you struggling small business people that read my blogs looking for SEO tips, here’s your solution today.  Blog.  Make a connection with your customer or your prospect.  Fall forward just a tiny bit.  Write something.  Begin today.  You cannot change the economy today.  You cannot take out an expensive bill board ad today.  You probably will not win the lottery,  so do something about what is staring you right in the face.  Blog.

Happy Blogging!
