Take advantage of your past experience in pursuing your passion

September 29, 2009 · Filed Under Marketing and Advertising

Sitting in a conference session with Eric Cook – experienced Internet consultant from Michigan, and getting beat about the head quite expertly.

Not physically of course, but in the sense that you should mate up your business skills with the things that have jazzed you in your past experiences. For me, that is the years I spent pastoring churches. 15 ½ years of serving Christ’s church, and reaching out to those who need Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.

I have been quite successful in leveraging Internet marketing on behalf of my for profit clients in a wide range of industries, but I have only dabbled in influencing churches and religious organizations to utilize these great tools to accomplish their objectives. I am encouraged to see the use of Internet marketing tools creeping into the consciousness of churches, but it is being driven by the “person-in-the-pew”, and I think this is a good thing.

This brings me back to pursuing your passion. It is time that I got serious about helping churches experience the same types of results that I have achieved for my business clients.

Thanks Eric for the blows to the head. I needed it.
