Be authentic. Be you.
Everyone else is already taken.

Living in Montreal I always dread the harsh winter months, although funny enough it all means nothing once the summer arrives! The night-life, music festivals, culture and food is what helps me get passed those harsh winter months. Not to mention, a little traveling helps, taking a two week vacation during the month of February to escape the 'deep freeze' has become a yearly ritual.

Digital marketing & sales is indeed top of my list of topics when discussing what I'm passionate about. I enjoy discovering new brands and understanding how they go about building a relationship with their current and future customers. AND more specifically, doing so through great storytelling. I’d like to have a clear and concise end goal to share with you but that’s something I’m still working on. Unfortunately, the right side of my brain can’t agree with the left side, but tomorrow is a different day.

Never stop growing

 

Think it.

It all begins with an idea. The best ideas are those you can take action on. I’m always thinking about what I can do next. I feel like if I’m not thinking a few steps ahead and tinkering around with my next side project, I’m not growing.

Create it.

I like the quote from Gary V. “ideas are shit. Execution is the game”. Actually not just like, but live it! To the point where I get anxiety if I don’t follow through. I started the Montreal Marketeers podcast based on wanting to be in the driver seat.

Rework it.

I feel like many of us get caught up in the workload that is required to make an idea a reality. Whether its a new business idea or marketing tactic your using, you can’t forget about the importance of adjusting your path along the way to your end goal.
