"If they only knew us like we do..."

Most small businesses and non-profits struggle when it comes to talking about themselves. They're overwhelmed by options and strategies and technology, and fall into a trap where they think if they only talk about themselves more and more and more, people will share their passion. Here's a tip...that doesn't work.
Can you define what you do in a clear and compelling way?
Does your website have dozens of options with no clear path?
Is your follow-through non-existent or limited to newsletters?
Are you using social media without knowing if it works?
Does your website do more "telling" than "showing"?
Fortunately, 2000 years of storytelling shows a better way!
