How to Leverage a Sniper’s Mind to Get Better Results (Ep. 158)

What do snipers and digital marketers have in common? A lot more than you might think.

In this episode of Video Marketing Mastery, I sit down with David Amerland, author of The Sniper Mind. He's an international speaker, author, and business journalist who has unique experiences and perspectives that digital marketers can learn from.

A big mistake that I see digital marketers commit is launching a campaign without having a clear strategy behind it. That's like going into battle without a plan of attack.

Another overlooked aspect of digital marketing is the emotional space. Things like focus, discipline, and priority settings. Snipers know a lot about this.

But the analogy drawing doesn’t end there. Both snipers and digital marketers need a great deal of situational awareness. They need to be organized, deliberate, responsible, empathetic, and intentional.

And we aren’t just listing out a dictionary’s worth of attributes here. Each of these qualities apply to both snipers and digital marketers. The bottom line is that we can learn from the most highly trained and focused people on the planet.

So if you’re ready to zero in on your digital marketing strategy with the focus of a sniper, you don’t want to miss this episode of Video Marketing Mastery.
