Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain

Hitting a homer requires a lot more than just swinging as hard as you can. It requires the right pitch and the right swing to get the ball over the fence.
So when it comes to metaphors to inspire most business owners, I think Mr. Jobs missed the mark on this one.

Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs

One of the things that bring me the most joy is helping people make connections.
That's probably why I ended up in marketing.
You see, done well (and from a place of authenticity), marketing is really just a set of activities through which one can foster and build relationships.
And who doesn't want to have more, stronger relationships? I truly LOVE making connections.
Is there someone with whom you'd like to create a relationship? Let me know in the comments and I'll help out.

Today's guest on Relish This is Ford Church, the Executive Director at the Cottonwood Institute.
Ford and his team do some really great work inspiring kids to explore and connect with nature. Their philosophy is that it's a lot easier to get kids to care about the environment if they have a connection with it.
Is your nonprofit missing an opportunity to foster a real relationship with your community? Ford and the team at Cottonwood certainly take that approach that experiences and tactile connections with the outdoors lead to lifelong caring about our environment. How can your organization create these types of experiences for your constituents to drive more powerful, deeper feelings about the good you do for the world?
Another really great episode of Relish This! I hope you enjoy it.

What habits are getting in the way of your pathway to success?
I certainly have my list: Too much screen time, postponing launch to achieve some unreachable "perfection", thinking I can actually effectively multi-task. E. T. C.
This article (https://bit.ly/2JIIErV) popped up recently that featured many of the items listed above (and a few more that certainly can create challenges). It's a quick, valuable read.
What are your bad habits that are getting in your way?

I've started to give myself little pats on the back throughout the day.
This started as an exercise recommended by my buddy, Aaron Wrixon (who is an amazing and talented writer so if you are looking for help getting your message dialed in, give him a shout).
He starts every day by writing down 3-5 things he is going to accomplish that day. Not big, home runs necessarily, but that little base hits that move things forward.
And every time an item gets checked off, it signifies a "win".
There's a ton of power in checking items off a list.
We thrive through achieving milestones and this little "hack" creates accomplishments throughout one’s day that can really create a boost.
Give it a try and see how engineering small wins can help with your productivity, mood, and thrust toward those bigger goals.

If you haven’t, now is a great time to learn more about the products you consume and ways we can make better purchasing decisions that will positively influence consumer brands to help save the environment.
On this week’s episode of Relish This, I chatted with Shiv Goel, Co-Producer and Executive Director of Green Consumer Project, about how to use your purchasing power to help reduce carbon load and support organizations and businesses that are supporting the environment.
During our conversation, we discussed ways we can all influence consumer goods environmental policy to hold brands accountable for their environmental impact.
Consumer purchasing power can fuel sustainability if we focus our shopping decisions and support brands that are good environmental stewards.
