Recognizing Common Business Growth Issues
Many small business owners face similar growth challenges, often resorting to popular but ineffective tactics like excessive social media posting or constant product launches. The underlying issue lies in not addressing a foundational problem, which hinders stable and efficient growth.
Importance of Sequence Over Strategy
Prioritizing the sequence of actions over following popular strategies is crucial for sustainable business growth. Understanding the correct order of operations and asking the right questions before taking action helps in building a solid foundation and achieving consistent results.

Choosing marketing strategies aligned with relationship or traffic marketing is key. Understanding the flow of awareness, engagement, and sales stages and selecting appropriate strategies for each stage enhances overall marketing effectiveness.
