L as in Lion, M as in?
Mon, Aug 10, 2020
I was teaching my little Simba the alphabet when we hit a deep lesson (and nerve) at L.
Caleb, my 3-year-old, asked, “Dad, why does the small L look like the capital I? Why couldn’t they get another letter for that?”
Small L and capital I looking alike was never an issue for me, but he was right.
Why did it have to be that way?
As we talked further, I remembered the joy of listening and learning from one another regardless of age, education, or experience.
I realized that L had many more lessons for anyone who wanted to be a good marketer:
- L as in Listen to experts who can teach you faster and take you further.
- L as in Learn because the best marketers are mostly lifelong learners.
- L as in Live out that marketing so that you can practice what you preach.
- L as in Love what you do so that you only need to do what you love.
- L as in rule and reign in marketing as a Lion – settle for nothing less!
The best thing a human being can do is to help another human being learn more.
Takeaway
Every day you live, every person you meet, and every conversation you have is an opportunity to learn, if you want to.
Caleb’s book says “M as in monkey” while I’m tempted to teach him “M as in marketing”. Thoughts?
