Just Keep Showing Up!
This week we share a powerful message from one of our favorite marketing minds, Roy Williams. Roy’s message is a great reminder about one of the key fundamentals to success in any area and that’s to keep showing up!

It’s impossible not to like someone who likes you.
This is why the secret of success is to just keep showing up.
My friend Brett was studying theater in college until the day a professor told him to lie on his back, close his eyes, and “breathe blue.” Brett did his best, gave up, got up, walked out.
Brett did not become an actor. But he did become a highly successful political consultant.
In Brett’s own words, here’s how it happened:
“I was looking at the bulletin board in the hallway of my dorm when I saw a little poster that said, ‘All the pizza and beer you can eat and drink if you work 2 hours on the telephone.’ I like pizza, I like beer, so I went to the address at the appointed time and made calls to ‘get out the vote’ for a political party. I didn’t care about politics at all, but I cared a lot about pizza and beer, so I came back night after night. They thought I was really dedicated.”
“After several months of showing up, they invited me to work at an out-of-town rally. I went along and noticed the food is better when you go out-of-town. So I kept doing out-of-town rallies until someone asked me if I could write some ads for a campaign. One thing led to another, and here I am. Go figure.”
The only unique part of Brett’s story is the part about breathing blue. The rest of it – the part about always showing up – is the world’s most common path to success.
Brett quit showing up for acting classes. But he never quit showing up at political events.
You will become the thing for which you keep showing up.
“Believe in yourself” and “Never give up” are motivational clichés. They sound good, but they give you no real action to take. Do you want to succeed? Just keep showing up.
We hear a lot about the value of persistence and determination, but the way to demonstrate those qualities is to just keep showing up.
The most important time to show up, is when you don’t feel like showing up.
When everyone else has dropped out, faded away, and quit, you are the king of the mountain.
In his final speech at the end of his long and wonderful life, Paul Harvey talked about the importance of never failing to show up. He said, “Repetition is effective. Repetition is effective. Repetition is effective.”
When you want your company to be the one people think of immediately and feel the best about when they need what you sell, just keep showing up. It’s easy to do. The problem is that most advertisers will choose to reach 100% of the people, but convince them only 10% of the way, due to not enough repetition.
They didn’t “show up” long enough to become a permanent fixture in the mind.
That same money could have convinced 10% of the people 100% of the way, but most advertisers aren’t willing to do that because they worry about who they are “leaving out.”
I’ve got news for you: You don’t have enough money to reach everyone. Limit your focus to only that number of people you can reach with relentless repetition.
Keep showing up.
It works in relationships.
It works in business.
It works in advertising.
Just.
Keep.
Showing.
Up.
If your business needs marketing that works, give us a call. We're here to help!
Be blessed this week.
