Have you ever been in a large meeting where at least one of those speaking is wearing a wireless lavaliere microphone? Sometimes that person will neglect to turn off the microphone, resulting in all kinds of embarrassing or distracting sounds echoing through the meeting room. The solution to this little problem is, of course, to always check to be sure the microphone is turned off except when it’s needed.
Life, on the other hand, doesn’t come with an off switch. Seth Godin offers a vivid illustration of this point on his blog, as he reminds us that we are always marketing, even when we think we’re not.
My thanks to Stu Gray and Joe Szymanski for leading me to this post through links on their blogs.
I LOVE Seth Godin!
And, this is SO true! You never know when or WHERE you’ll meet your next client. She could be the person who just passed you in supermarket aisle!…or like for a friend of ours, Bob, they could be standing behind you at the airline security checkpoint!
Peace!

Liz,
Seth is amazingly good, all the time. Thanks for your comments, Liz. You are so right. We never know where the next client is going to turn up.
Be well,
Bob
