I was a bit stubborn, at the time, and rarely agreed to take lessons despite my parent&#8217;s attempts to provide me with expert guidance. After all I was five, knew everything and didn\u2019t need someone to show me what to do. Right?<\/p>\n<p>My technique consisted of heading straight downhill at full speed until I fell in a cloud of snow and stopped. Then I&#8217;d get up and do it again. After watching me blast down the hill my parents dubbed me &#8216;Cannonball Cook&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Several decades and many ski runs later, I&#8217;d learned to stay on my feet and come to love the sport (as those who read my newsletters regularly well know). But even though I&#8217;d been hitting the slopes for over 40 years, I knew I was working too hard and still falling too often on the challenging terrain that I enjoy skiing.<\/p>\n<p>Have you found yourself working too hard and not getting the results you want?<\/p>\n<p>I decided to create a breakthrough in my skiing and sought out an expert who could help. I signed up for two days of coaching in Aspen with master skier John Clendenin. It turns out that in spite of my years of experience, I wasn&#8217;t using my skis the right way. Over the years I&#8217;d developed bad habits that were holding me back.<\/p>\n<p>Is your small business marketing stuck in a rut?

The results of Clendenin&#8217;s coaching were astounding. After just two days, my skills had jumped several levels. I was with two friends whose abilities ranged from intermediate to expert, and they experienced the same leap in performance. With the benefit of additional practice, I&#8217;ve become the expert skier I always wanted to be.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to finally make a breakthrough in 2008 with your small business marketing? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingforsuccess.com\/mentoring.html\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Sign up to work with a small business marketing expert to show you how &gt;<\/span><\/a>&gt;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve spent decades mastering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingforsuccess.com\/marketing-ideas\/\">small business marketing<\/a> and teaching others how to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last twenty years, I&#8217;ve helped hundreds of small business owners and entrepreneurs like you achieve breakthroughs with their businesses.
