This is a question that not enough business owners are asking themselves before diving head first into their marketing…
A lot of business owners know they need help and assume they need a consultant. But do they really? Or do they need a coach? So what’s the difference between the two?
Weeks? Months?
I disagree with a lot of marketers on this question. I don't believe a business necessarily needs to spend weeks (or even months) creating a strategy. Don't get me wrong, if you're running a huge corporation with a marketing budget of millions then it'll take time. You'll definitely need to spend a while getting your strategy right before you start implementing it. But I work with small businesses who want to see results as quickly as possible. Do they need to take weeks out of their business before they can start taking action? I say 'no'. Marketing planning in a start-up can be overwhelming when you've got a mountain to climb but no budget to put towards actually getting there. So how can you know where to start?
