Okay. Is it your turn? Is it time? Last month I shared my experiment in unplugging. (Special thanks to those of you who shared your thoughts with me on that topic. It was great to hear that it encouraged you to think about the message and apply it to your life.) So, now, let’s talk about you… There are 10… Read more →
Unplugging: Harder than it looks
So, I did it. I actually took my own advice. (Well, ok, the advice from a few team members if truth be told.) I hit the road and I headed for the ocean. As I stepped into the beach house and realized it was just me, and Bosco,—for a whole week, it was a bit of a what do I… Read more →
Are you a Neo-Luddite?
As we enjoyed the beautiful spring weather outside the neighborhood coffee shop, I asked the lovely college senior sitting across from me about this new trend I keep hearing about of folks her age rejecting certain forms of social media. A personal friend of mine has already joined their ranks by removing all social media from her cell phone, and, in addition,… Read more →
Stop Selling. Start Relating.
It was a typical workday. I made a usual stop at a shop on my list and began chatting with the owner. Our paths have crossed regularly about 2-3 times a week over the last two-plus years. He couldn’t wait to tell me about a new product he has been working on for the past few months, and I, of… Read more →
What Are You Waiting For?
Is life leading you down the path, or are you strategically navigating it as you go? I love to read. In the car. Yes, it’s true. But you can relax—I do my reading via audio books. The three books I’ve read most recently seem to all be screaming at me, “What are you waiting for?” So, I am taking a… Read more →
Boy, am I glad I did that…
Boy, Am I Glad I Did That! So, I took the plunge. Was the timing right? Not really. Was it truly where I wanted my precious dollars to go? Probably not. But was it worth it? Oh my, yes. I’ll explain. First, I’ll tell you what I did, then, I’ll tell you why I did it. After that, I’ll share… Read more →
Will You Really “Unplug” For The Holidays?
We get it. You truly want to unplug this holiday season and you’re planning on it. But the real question is not “will you”… it’s can you? If you’re a small business owner (or even a faithful employee) it can be hard to catch a break. Perhaps the thought of the holiday season excites you…or perhaps it raises unwanted stress as you mentally… Read more →
Captivating Your Audience Through Video
The visual element in sales has always been of the utmost importance, of course. None of us want to purchase anything sight unseen. We need to know what we are getting; we want to turn it over and inspect it, get a feel for the item and its quality, and we don’t mind at all if we get to take… Read more →
5 Things To Learn About Branding From “Dread Pirate Roberts”
We often think of a brand as a logo, a message, a movement, or a successful company. Sometimes, a brand is a person…or that person is the brand. Clear as mud? We thought a good pirate story this month might be a fun way to help relay our thoughts. Many of you may be familiar with the hit 80’s film… Read more →
Instagram: Making Our World Bigger
This month we welcome Epiphany Team Member Barbara Hinch to share a guest article. (Did we mention she’s our Instagram Queen?) In a world that is more digital every day, it is also becoming ever more important to maintain a personal and intimate touch with the people in your life, whether they are family and friends, or clients and customers.
