Let’s go… 👇

Last weekend I went down to a shooting range in Camden.

I had 6 rounds shooting different pistols.

I had 6 rounds shooting different rifles.

The pinnacle of each round was the speed & accuracy test.

11 targets flash up and you have shoot all 11 as quick as you can.

I stepped up… and boom…

I fired fast and frantically.

6.25 seconds.

Not bad for a first-timer, I thought.

Feeling very smug, I turned to the pro who was on the range with us & asked…

“What’s your best time on this?”

He replied…

 “Ha… let me show you!”

He stepped up to the range.

Set a fresh target.

Loaded his pistol.

And the countdown started.

2.1 seconds later all the targets were down.

My mind was blown.

It made me completely re-evaluate my frame of what was possible.

It shattered my limiting beliefs.

And it really made me think.

How much do we limit ourselves because of our own internal beliefs about what is possible?

Probably, quite a lot…

So in the spirit of hopefully helping shatter some of your own limiting beliefs…

Here are 10 of the most common ones when it comes to advertising.

10 Limiting Beliefs about Advertising

❌ 1. Advertising is too expensive.

✅ If you’re specific with your message & targeting this is rarely the case.

❌ 2. Advertising is a waste of money.  

✅ It's an investment in making people aware of what you do.

❌ 3. Advertising talks at people, not with them.

✅ Nope - good advertising starts conversations.

❌ 4. Advertising is for big businesses only.

✅ Lol… really wrong - small businesses benefit too (& often more in % terms).

❌ 5. Advertising isn't measurable.

✅ It is - you just need to know what to look at.

❌ 6. You need to be everywhere to be seen.

✅ Not true - focus on a few key channels.

❌ 7. All advertising needs to be flashy and funny.

✅ Wrong - simple and direct works great.

❌ 8. Results from advertising should be instant. 

✅ Nope - it takes time to build an audience.

❌ 9. People ignore advertisements.

✅ Not if it's about something they're interested in.

❌ 10. Advertising doesn't work for my business. 

✅ It can - with the right strategy and message.
