It’s simple really. If we focus on our smallest viable market, a group of 10 people who need or want what we do, and make it as good as we can for those people, the rest will follow. Authentic, credible marketing for brands and products with integrity.

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Our most innovative ideas and profound thoughts often arise away from the confines of a desk.

We cannot accomplish everything, which underscores the significance of knowing when to decline. This mantra is valuable throughout any period when the temptation to overcommit is high.

Understanding where to direct your attention isn't always straightforward, yet it remains crucial. This is especially true for thriving businesses and entrepreneurs who may still find themselves entangled in every aspect of operations, despite having a team at their disposal or the financial means to delegate tasks to specialists (a process that can also pose its own challenges in identification when deeply immersed in the day-to-day).

To differentiate between strategy and ex*****on, I find this simple analogy helpful:

Strategy involves zooming out, contemplating the overarching objectives you aim to achieve.

On the other hand, planning requires zooming in, concentrating on the specific actions and tactics necessary to progress.

In the words of Seth Godin:

"While tactics are commendable and ex*****on is imperative, a shrewd strategy acts as a favorable tailwind, easing the journey forward."

Constantly. However, discerning the correct course of action becomes challenging when engrossed in ex*****on and unable to perceive the broader perspective.

For certain individuals, the pause holds a potent source of strength.

It's often said that retaining existing customers is not only easier but also more cost-effective than acquiring new ones. The secret lies in ensuring your customers are satisfied.

Satisfied customers not only require less effort to serve but also tend to spend more and are more likely to recommend your product or service to others.

However, achieving customer satisfaction hinges on offering a quality product or service that they genuinely enjoy from the outset.

As James Clear wisely put it, "Good marketing may make the first sale, but it's only a good product that secures repeat business. In the long term, your success is directly tied to the value you deliver."

I like to think of what I do as the bread and butter for brand founders.
It’s nothing extravagant, but it’s the foundation of any solid structure (and always comes at the beginning of a good project!)

So if you’re thinking about growing your brand, and have a thousand marketing ideas and tactics spinning through an overwhelmed brain, let’s chat!

I’m not a cook who follows a recipe to a tee. And I’m the same in the kitchen and at work.
I believe in a more flexible approach, but clarity and direction are crucial. That's where having a strategy comes in.

A good small business strategy serves as a framework for daily decision-making, guiding how you navigate the complexities of running a business.
