About 5 years into my business I found myself drowning in marketing experiments.
My website was a minefield of too many freebies and services. Boxes of outdated brochures and business cards were collecting dust. I knew my marketing was a messāand I needed to fix it.
I hired marketing assistants. I hired marketing assistants. They could execute tasks, but they werenāt strategists.
I hired a marketing strategist. She understood corporate marketing, but she didnāt understand our industry.
I wasted time. I wasted money. And I still didnāt have the clarity I needed.
A bit of spring cleaning...
After investing about $11k in marketing education (phew!) and learning from brilliant mentors, I finally cracked the code on applying smart marketing principles to a residential interior design firm.
Once I cleaned up my marketing and clarified my message, everything changedāI started attracting dream clients who wanted ME. My business took off, people wanted to work for me (!), and I was finally making a reliable, professional income.
This is normal.
Know what? Every business owner goes through this phase. Like the transition from being a kid to being a grown-up, things get messy in the middle. 𤪠The real question is whether you want to muddle through on your own or fast-track your success by getting help. Thereās nothing wrong with a slow burn⦠but if youāre ready for a rocket boost to get your marketing mojo backā¦
