A lot of business owners are putting off working on their marketing strategy. They’re waiting for things to settle down, for the market to become more stable, or to simply have more certainty about the way things are going to go. But the problem is that they’re likely to be waiting forever.
When we have a new idea, a new business concept, or a new product or service, we’re motivated to move fast. We see everyone else out in the market, seemingly crushing it, and we strive to get in on the action. We think that speed is the key to success. When the opposite is true.
Worrying can paralyze us. It can keep us from getting our marketing work done, from stretching ourselves beyond our current capabilities, and from experimenting with new strategies and techniques.
The future is a mystery to us all. And that means the greatest risk is in assuming it isn’t. In assuming our plans are perfect and won’t need adjustment.
