Progress Takes Pain

progress takes pain

When scrolling through Facebook the other day, I came across a post that caught me off guard.  Well, to be clear, the post itself did not catch me off guard.  It excited me.  The response to the post, however, really surprised me.  Let me explain.

The post included several pictures of construction being done on several sidewalks coming into the city of Coshocton.  It showed the machines being run, the progress being made and talked about the improvement this would be for the entrance to our town.  To be honest, I was excited.  I saw progress.  (It still has to do with “What you see.”)

The comments, on the other hand, had a completely different tone.

There were complaints about the mess.  Some complained about the noise.  One complained about what time the work was being done.  I was blown away by the level of complaining about the project!  (We all need to complain less…here’s why).

My friends, let me let you in on a little secret.

In every area of your life (and my life) progress takes pain.

Growth takes discomfort.  Improvements are hard and are mostly not convenient.  This is not new.  This a constant rule of life.

  • If you want to grow muscle, you first need to break it down so you can build it back up.
  • Proper home renovation nearly always starts with demolition.
  • Improving your habits takes breaking down old habits to be replaced.
  • And yes, replacing a sidewalk (or a road) begins with taking out the old one so there is room for a new one.

So yes, progress can be frustrating.  It’s slow.  Progress can (and will) be painful.  It takes work.  And whether you are building a community or a book of business, it will take longer than you think.  That is the bad news.  Progress takes pain.

But here’s the good news.

Progress is worth it.

Stop complaining.  Put in the work.  Be a part of the solution.  Keep showing up.

5 Reasons to Attend Our Trade Show!

hasseman marketing trade show

Every year for over 10 years, Hasseman Marketing has created an “End User” trade show and have invited our customers.  It’s evolved and grown over the years and we are quite proud of it.  This year’s event will be Thursday October 10th from Noon to 5pm at Coshocton County’s Lake Park!

It started as a “Customer Appreciation Show” and it still has those elements.  But we have expanded it and now call it our annual Trade Show (you can register here).  This year the theme is “Christmas in October!   Why?  Because it’s a Trade Show build for our customers and prospects.

But why should you come?  We want this event to be fun AND add a ton of value.  Here are a few reasons why we think you should attend.

Incredible Product Access:  We invite some of our top (and favorite) supplier reps to showcase their lines at the show.  I like to say “There is no way I could fit all of this in my trunk.”  You get to see and touch and feel the product and see what it’s really like.  We all know that many products look the same online or in a catalog.  But when you get them up close you can really see a difference.  This is the perfect place to make sure your brand materials are on point.

Idea Generation:  As you walk around and see the latest and greatest in Promo, you will come up with some great ideas for upcoming projects.  The reality is, the show is at a great time of year for year end gifts for your team or customers.  But some of our best customers come every year and start to plan their marketing for the next year and beyond.

Great SWAG:  Nobody leaves empty handed!  We put on a fun event where (with the help of our suppliers) we invest in putting some really cool SWAG in your hands.  In addition, we build the event around a theme so you can see how we use a bunch of different items around a theme!

Additional Services:  You may think you know all that we do at Hasseman Marketing, but we find that most people discover some new ways to promote their organization!  By having all of the ideas in one place, it can be very illuminating!

Tasty Food:  You have to eat right?  We have food and drinks as well.  Each year we get compliments about the tasty treats and we know this year will be no different. The event this year is on Thursday October 10 from Noon to 5pm at the Lake Park Pavilion (in Coshocton).  Our goal is to create an event that provides value and fun…and you never want to miss.

So if you want to join us (and you do), please feel free to to RSVP here.  We are actually going to build in some extra value for those that RSVP!  

Make sure you never miss an update by signing up for our VIP newsletter here.  Oh…and as always, we have all of our content here on our blog page…check it out!
