<p>Much appreciation to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="creative marketing" href="http://keysplashcreative.com/are-you-overthinking-your-marketing/">Key Splash Creative</a> for sharing this video recently. I had to share it, because I think it speaks powerfully to how ridiculous we can become when it comes to distracting ourselves from what matters.</p>
<p>The video is called Outside the Box, by <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.josephpelling.co.uk/" target="_blank">Joseph Pelling</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of this?</strong> I feel like a lot of us talk a good game, but when it comes to actually doing the work&#8230;it just ain&#8217;t gettin done. On a big level, we&#8217;re all guilty of this. I know I am. But I think it&#8217;s very important to be cognizant of it and <em>get back on track as soon as possible</em>.</p>
<p>Surely, getting your strategy together, writing your plan, making sure you&#8217;re on track&#8230;these things are important. But in the meantime, are you actually:</p>
<ul>
<li>Writing new content every day?</li>
<li>Commenting posts?</li>
<li>Commenting forums?</li>
<li>Responding to comments?</li>
<li>Promptly following up with emails?</li>
<li>Attending social functions regularly that pertain to your business?</li>
<li>Creating new products or services for your audience?</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t mistake talking about taking action for ACTUALLY taking action! The best business plan, strategy or tools in the world mean nothing&#8230;absolutely nothing, if you&#8217;re not actively building your audience and providing value every day.</p>
