Bodacious blog babe Josh Catone’s healthy web marketing advice is quoted for your spoonful of healthy marketing motivation:

“Blogging isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon”

Blogging is not a short burst of effort, it a long distance medium!  Commit to blogging as a marketing investment to share information, educate, voice values and engage in ongoing social dialogue.  Bloggers don’t sprint, they run the distance.  They also blog because they CARE.  Blogging for bucks via sprint will not work.  Remember – Quick and dirty is always quick, but you always end up dirty.

It’s not the tools that make marketing matter….it’s HOW we use the tools that makes all the difference.  A little blogging attitude adjustment to take on the distance for your organization is what will make a big difference.

Read the The Top Five Business Blogging Mistakes and How You Can Avoid Them article and commit to running the long run.

Remember……marketing begins with inspiration!

This blog post was inspired by two inspire-savvy professionals that touched me last weekend:
1. Misty Gibbs of www.myinspirationlounge.com
My Inspiration Lounge is a reflection of everything that Misty loves and and wants to do in life.  She created an inspirational resource to inspire, inform and help us make the impossible — possible.  Her website began with an inspiration…she took the critical step and made her inspiration a reality, now serving thousands of women and securing her a Wild Web Woman stamp of approval as a WMT Positive Web Marketing Role Model.

Inspiration - Life meets Art

2. Lori Lipsman – Inspiring and Inspired Artist.
I stumbled upon her artwork at LA Artcore, Union Center.  The photo to the left was a photograph of a plant married with a stunning paper ribbon running through it.  Inspiration was in action.

I continued to walk the gallery and view Lori Lipsman’s amazing artwork.  We always hear the saying, “life imitates art” but I was picking up was  “life inspires art”

Successful marketers find inspiration to perfect their personal marketing art.

Get Marketing Inspiration!

Lori’s inspiration manifested into amazing paintings, some large, some small, some a melange of paper ribbons married together to produce brilliant works of art that would have never happened without that bit of inspiration!

Beginning is 50% of a creative process (ok, maybe more)  INSPIRATION is what gives us that fire in our bellies to begin.

Listen to your heart before your mind and allow yourself to be creative – perfect your personal marketing art…we all have it, TAP IT!
