Key Takeaways
✅ Establish your purpose: If you have a clear purpose and vision for the future of your business then the path to communicating effectively with the customers you want to work with will become much clearer.
✅ Deliberate network building: Be very tactical and consistent in building your network. Adding at least 20 of the right people either from a potential customer, partner or useful connection will add up over time. Check in with people who you haven’t spoken to in a long time and meet with people who you normally wouldn’t meet to establish new networks.
✅ Get the basics right: The market is very competitive and if your potential customers find your website a challenge or simply can’t find you on a Google Search, then you are hindering your progress. Make sure to invest in the basics to give yourself a solid foundation to grow from.
