I have a blog post to write, Medium article to finish, LinkedIn video to shoot, Instagram post to get out, weekly email to craft, and a lead magnet to build. What should I work on right now? Overwhelm kicks in and nothing gets finished. Sound familiar? Indecision is a silent killer. We get stuck analyzing …
It’s all about compound interest… Marketing is a lot like fitness, you’re not going to be ripped after your first workout. You’ll struggle with every exercise and probably end up pretty sore.
