Great Marketing Takes An Army

Most companies (+50%) fail for the same reason.

They lack the basic principles of Marketing and as a result, they lack core business principles.

There are a few things you need if you want to have a chance at success:

  1. Vision
  2. Product-Market-Fit (PMF)
  3. Internal Belief
  4. Market Awareness
  5. Execution Ability
  6. Analysis & Reporting Ability

Without all of these, you’re doomed.

42% of companies fail just from lacking PMF alone.

95% of companies have a vision statement or mission statement that means nothing. Or at least isn’t being executed against in daily activity. It’s just another box to check by a lazy team.

War & Business

There are a lot of commonalities between war and business.

Battles are lost every day for the same reasons.

  1. We don’t know why we’re going to war
  2. We don’t know if our army is actually capable of winning
  3. We don’t believe in the cause
  4. We have no idea what the enemy is doing
  5. We have terrible tactics and equipment
  6. We never learn from our failures

Stop what you’re doing. Stop everything.

Don’t waste another year.

2024 is going to be a critical win/fail year for millions of businesses (small & large) all over the world. Do you believe you’re ready?

Read Time: 3 Minutes A life lesson from my Dad When I was 9 my Dad and I stopped at a Chick-fil-A in my hometown for lunch. He's a land surveyor, and there was a big project with a tight deadline coming up. So we'd spent all Saturday morning at the office as he chaotically tried to wrap this project up. I (not paying much attention) had a great morning playing on my Gameboy in the corner. While we weren't a poor family, we were not rolling in cash either. We counted money carefully. Going out...

Read Time: 2.5 Minutes New Year, Old Me? Marketing is one of the most distracting professions. There are always new platforms, new strategies, new opportunities, etc. It's so easy to get caught up chasing trends and whatever the "new thing" is. The problem is this causes marketing teams to make the wrong decisions while chasing shiny objects. The grass isn't greener. So as we go into 2024, this is your reminder that most businesses don't need to reinvent the wheel this year. Often if you have...

Read Time: 4 Minutes Storytelling ... it's a forgotten art. Almost everyone knows what storytelling is. They even say they believe in it.

The problem is most people don't know how to tell stories. Just like me. But, with thousands of hours in reading, podcasting, leading...
