The famous Indian Chief, Sitting Bull called her “Watanya Cicilla.” But you might have heard of her by a more familiar nickname, Little Sure Shot. Or you might recognize her stage name. Annie Oakley.
The Little Sure Shot nickname sure described her amazing shooting abilities.
Because Annie Oakley could actually shoot quarters out of the air. And she shot bugs without damaging the leaves they sat on. She could even fire a shot and slice tall weeds. Not only slice them, but get them to fall to the right or left as someone might request.
Wow! Little Sure Shot could sure hit the target.
I read an article where someone described her as a shooting savant. The writer said it was “almost like Annie Oakley just couldn’t miss.” She even shot the ashes off a cigarette held by the German Kaiser Wilhelm. Can you imagine what might have happened if she had missed? Yikes!
But Annie rarely ever missed. Because she had an uncanny ability to focus on her targets. She didn’t look all around. And she didn’t allow distractions to blur her focus.
What a great lesson that is for business owners, entrepreneurs, and wannabes.
No, not how to shoot a gun. I’m talking about targeted marketing.
Precise. As distraction free as possible. And focused, which means you gotta be organized.
Because you wanna track results. You wanna know your numbers. Know what’s working. And what isn’t. When you get a handle on your numbers, you can do a better job of targeting new leads. And a better job for your current customers and clients. Don’t ever wanna forget them. Because they tend to be the best source for repeat and referral business. The most cost effective kind.
Of course, the targeted approach sounds more complicated and involved.
And that’s because it is. At least, when you first start. You DO have to invest some time (or hire someone to use their time) to set up a system for tracking your work. But what’s so cool is that once you set it up, it can deliver awesome results like clockwork. For as long as you own your business.
And what’s even cooler is, I’ve already set up the System to help you be the Little Sure Shot in your industry. And I’ve put that system into an easy-to-read book you can get for less than Buffalo Bill paid Annie Oakley. The link is below.
