Well not really 'a day'. In fact it doesn't specify which day. Just "A DAY". You will get a 'thought' when there is one worth getting. Maybe I should rename the site "Try to have a thought a day" YOU CAN HAVE 'MARKETING THOUGHT A DAY' RSS FEEDBLITZ EMAILED TO YOU BY VISITING WWW.MICHAELKIELYMARKETING.COM.AU AND SIGNING ON FOR THE SERVICE. (Not every day, thought. You won't ready them all.)

You have no competition...

:
... But yourself.

We tend to over-estimate the threat a competitor represents. They might look more imposing than they really are. Let's face it: they are just a bunch of frail humans keeping up appearances, just like your side. Once we've decided that, let's look at the real threat to your success: YOU. If 85% of success is in just turning up (Woody Allen), look to see where you are not turning up in your business life. You know what I mean. Doing the boring things or the uncomfortable things. Working your list of contacts. Responding to all opportunities. Following through. Keeping promises. They (your competition) are as good or bad at it as you are. They are not your competitor. YOU are.
