Simply put, share personal things (to the degree you\u2019re comfortable with), but not private things.\u00a0 Remember, you can\u2019t really separate your life and your business \u2013 because you are in both and you take you everywhere you go.<\/p>\n<p>A recent example from my own life that you may or may not know about is the passing of my dad a little over a month ago.\u00a0 I shared on social media when he passed, and posted the obituary. I didn\u2019t go into details about my relationship with my dad, or go on for days about how I was feeling and talk about specific family dynamics or details. That was my comfort level and my take on sharing something personal (my dad\u2019s death) without drowning people in grief or other feelings I was having that I consider private.\u00a0 Others might have done something different, and that\u2019s ok for them.<\/p>\n<p>You might be asking what this has to do with marketing and business, and I would tell you since everything you do in your business is ultimately marketing, it has everything to do with the relationship and bond you build with your clients.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main ways you build relationships with your clients is with your marketing funnels and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re going to be talking about June 15-16 at the <strong><em>\u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.SuccessfulMarketingFunnels.com\">Successful Marketing Funnels\u2122<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> event in Atlanta, Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Prosperity &amp; Abundance to You &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PS \u2013 I\u2019d love for you to leave a comment or share the post!
