41. A cautionary tale about house painting (and how it relates to business)

Today I am sharing a cautionary tale about house painting.  No, I have not shifted my focus to become a renovation podcast!  Inside this house improvement story there is a lesson that relates to business.  Tune in to hear more. ****** Four years ago, my husband loudly declared that he was going to paint the entire outside of our house.  Now this announcement had me perplexed because my husband is no house painter - he is a plumber!  And when I questioned whether this was a job he could, er even wanted to, achieve, he told me: “I am not paying somebody else to do this job when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself.”  Can you relate to this way of thinking?  Have you ever decided to tackle a task that was not your skill set, just so you could save a few dollars? Well, I probably don’t need to tell you how the house painting ended.  Let me just say - when my husband declared himself finished, there was still a lot of work left to do.  Now in fairness to my husband he is not a house painter.  He didn’t even have the tools to complete the job properly.  He had thought that, because he could open a tin of paint, he could complete the work.  And by the end of the process he was wishing he had never begun! How many times do we take on projects in our business that we are not equipped for,  or don’t even have the time for? This happens so often with social media campaigns.  Are you guilty of trying to run your own social media campaign and finding it fall flat on its face?  Do you have a friend who tells you social media ads are a waste of money because they tried it once and it didn’t work? If this sounds like you, I have the perfect solution.  I have a number of workshop and coaching programs that will equip you with the proper tools and knowledge you need to be able to run your own social media ad campaigns. One-Ad-Wonder A three-part self-study program that will help you get started, or dust the cobwebs off your existing campaign.  Priced at just $147 this is a great, affordable package to get you started on the spot. ***** Need a little more help?  I have an exciting new package to offer. FB & Insta Set Up Package I will spend a day in your ad manager getting everything created and configured just right for a successful campaign.  At the end of the package, I will give you a comprehensive handover with video instructions, how-to’s, and the ability to duplicate the ads I have created for you. I am heavily discounting this program because it is brand new and I want to help as many businesses as possible.  I will be offering this package from now until mid-July, so there is a limited time to arrange your booking. ***** My other programs: eComm Ads Academy is a 12 week coaching program where I work inside your Meta Ad Manager and walk through your entire ad campaign.  I am just finishing up a round of eComm Ads Academy and will be running it again sometime toward the end of this year or early next year.  Pop your name on the waitlist to be the first to find out when doors open. *****   FB & Insta Ad Management Packages: For those of you who need to fully outsource your social media ad campaigns, my ongoing maintenance package is the right solution for you.
