Never Ever Say “I Should Have…”

Many people throughout their life will make a rendition of the statement “I should have done that!” or “I should have invented that!” or “I should have went to that!”.  Stop it.  You didn’t, so don’t dwell on the past and what you didn’t do.  It’s not very productive to analyze what you didn’t do and telling others that “you should have” makes people think you’re not very good at making decisions.

7 Marketing Predictions For 2012 | Part 2 of 2

The Marketing Revolution Podcast

This is part two in the wonderful year end wrap-up.  If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s part one: “What We Learned About Social Media in 2011″

1.  It’s the year of mobile! (except for Saskatchewan) I don’t mean we won’t see growth in the use of mobile in Saskatchewan, I mean our province is slow to adapt to new technology, there’s still a phone book in most houses.  Everywhere you turn you see startling statistics on the use of apps on mobile phones.  Until businesses start seeing their bottom line increasing because of a new “app” it’s still a shinny new tool in the toolbox.

At this point apps don’t turn me on, Google does.
