I'd stretch the "don't be lazy" metaphor a bit further and say clipping back the roses is similar to developing what Jim Collins calls a "not doing" list.

Nice post. I’d stretch the “don’t be lazy” metaphor a bit further and say clipping back the roses is similar to developing what Jim Collins calls a “not doing” list. It’s just important to stop doing irrelevant things as refocusing on doing the right things.

Probably because I've been studying marketing while eating out of our garden every day. :)We have 5 kinds of kale and 5 kinds of bok choy growing in our front yard, and it's absolutely scrumptious!Regarding marketing though, your right, planning is everything. Remember how common it used to be that someone would launch a company, but their website wasn't "up" yet. You would find the old "under construction, check back soon" message. Ugh. Bad news.By the way, come on over if you want some greens. I'm not kidding! We have enough to feed ten families over here! Organic, of course. Love the garden analogy Michelle.

Your thoughts about knowing "where to put them" made me think of Tony Schwartz's ideas in "The Responsive Chord" and "Media, the Second God". Though both these books were written decades ago, they contain principles that are even more relevant in the world of new media. An effective message needs not only to communicate well (in part by striking a "responsive chord" within the consumer), but also must be placed where that consumer is likely to find it.
