Marcie Rants: Busy-ness, Business People, Speaking Sites

Busy People

People who claim to be so busy that they are too busy to do what NEEDS to be done.

However, they are not too busy to provide second-to-second updates on their favorite reality TV shows on social media sites and other seemingly. These busy activities are really adding to their busy-ness.

Bottom line: People aren’t as busy as they say they are. AND they do what’s important to them which means you may not be on that list.

Business People

I met a guy at a networking event who is a sales trainer. I asked him for tips on how to sell my book.  I called to schedule a meeting. He called me back and told me that he could speak to me at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. the following weekend. I picked the latter time. Do you know he was scheduling me for a speaking teleseminar he was doing and not an individual conversation?

Shady act #1.

He told everyone on that call that he was going to follow up with them the following week about their speaking goals. He did.   I called him back to schedule the sales meeting and have yet to hear from him.

Shady act #2.

Bottom line: People will follow through on things that are important to them.

Speaking Sites

I have visited quite a few sites where videos begin as soon as you enter them. That’s annoying as hell mostly because there are at least two different videos going at the same time with different conversations. Then you have to scroll down to find the things. And they won’t stay on mute!! That’s super annoying.

Bottom line: Mute the videos!

I just wanted to share these things that annoy me. What about you? What are some things that are SUPER annoying to you?
