Ask Amy of the Month: Follow through w/new contacts…

Dear Amy: I am a media trainer and I received this incredible contact that has a huge audience of women that need my services. I talked to him 3 weeks ago and got busy and have not contacted him and am now worried that I can’t contact him because he’ll think I am a flake. More than once, I have dropped the communication between a possible “power partner” because I was overwhelmed by other pressing things. Is there a way that I can pick up communication again without looking inept? I am worried that I might also seem disrespectful for dropping the ball.

Sincerely,

Sandy

Dear Amy…

I am having a difficult time making choices…all the time. I can’t choose my logo, I can’t decide which path to take; I just can’t choose. My business is suffering because it takes me so long to make a choice and then, when I do make a choice, I question it ad nauseam and often, change my mind or just stop in my tracks.

Sincerely,

Michelle Levy

Dear Amy…

Hi Amy, I hope life is amazing for you. It has become abundantly clear to me that in order to generate the type of income that I want and the freedom that I desire, that I need to give in a major way.

I want to start a charitable organization of some type. Not sure what kind yet, but that was the part I wanted to ask you about. Which is a better to do for my goal? Something that I enjoy doing but am doing already? (Like fitness for impoverished obese people or cooking “meals on wheels” for aids patients). Or something that helps more “deeper struggling” people like a homeless shelter or women’s shelter. The latter would take longer to set up but I feel it would be more important than the first. (Keeping people alive vs. keeping them healthy).

Any ideas or feedback?

Thanks,

Leon Lavigne

Ask Amy of the Month – June 2010

Dear Amy,

I have a question about defining my niche. I’m a graphic designer and I want my primary focus to be designing PowerPoint presentations for female public speakers. I’m not sure if this is too narrow of a market. Can you advise?
