Richard Branson put it like this - "Once we get comfortable as a company, I like to push the boat out again. My wife keeps saying, "Why? Why? You're fifty. Take it easy. Let's enjoy it....If I put all my money in the bank and drank myself to death in the Caribbean, I just think that would be a waste of the fantastic position I found myself in"

Your four reasons are the underlying factors for why people like Branson continuously push themselves. At the end of the day; continuously wanting to improve yourself and your business should be on the top of your "to-do" list. The only way to improve in business is to be creative and ultimately come up with some fresh ideas.

Although I don't know exactly where my ideas come from but I believe it has something to do with being open minded. If you are willing to go out there and listen to what other people are saying (competitors, clients and consumers in general) this information will be stored in your memory and at the most random moment it will hit you.

Hello
If starting an e-mail marketing campaign is on your to-do list for 2009, Adams offers five tips that can help small businesses to create, launch and enhance successful e-mail marketing campaigns.

1. Put yourself in your customer’s shoes: When you first start with e-mail marketing, think through what you’re trying to accomplish. Ask yourself what type of information would attract attention and get people to open, read and act on your e-mail. Do customers want coupons and special offers or would they respond better to practical tips? Often the best e-newsletters include a mix of sales with advice.

2. Make a 2009 e-mail-marketing plan: Establish objectives and build a plan for the year. Start by mapping out promotions, topics and campaigns that will help you reach out to your customers at the right time with the right information. Roughing out a flexible plan for the year shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours.

3. Start building your e-mail list: Now you’re ready to start building your opt-in e-mail list opt-in means that your customers understand that by signing up they are giving you permission to send them e-mail.

In addition to name and e-mail address, ask for information that can help you target your campaigns. For example, if your business is a restaurant or retailer, gather birth dates.

4. Create a template that reflects your brand image: E-mail marketing services provide templates to help you get started. Choose a look and that reflects your business and brand image. You can also have a custom template created for you that matches your Web site and marketing collateral.

5. Begin the conversation with your inaugural campaign: Kick things off by introducing yourself and setting expectations. Let your audience know the type of information they’ll be receiving and how frequently you will be sending e-mails. In your first campaign, don’t just sell, but also offer valuable information or tips your audience can use.
