Do you have a plan for your business? I don't mean a vague generic, "Yeah, we kind of want to do this." I mean, a specific plan that outlines the steps that you're going to take to reach your goals.
If you're like many small business owners, I already know the the answer to that question is no. And that is not going to cut it. Working without a plan is like getting in your car and saying, "I'm going to drive from Indianapolis to Omaha.  I have never been there and I don't have a map."
Sure, you might get there eventually, but there's a good chance you're going to get lost along the way, it may take longer to get there or you may never find Omaha.
So as you're thinking about your business, take some time to map out where you want your business to be in a year and how you're going get there.

#469 Do You Have a Business Map?

More than a Few Words - A Marketing Conversation is a smart, down-to-earth show about what’s really working in marketing and what isn’t.  All in about 10 minutes. 

Every week, Lorraine Ball sits down with marketers, entrepreneurs, and the occasional mischief-maker.  Some are seasoned pros. Others are figuring it out as they go. But all of them share tips you can use. And stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

No fluff, no jargon, just real-world lessons, actionable ideas, and a peek behind the curtain of what actually works.

What You’ll Hear:
• Real talk with real experts—marketers, creatives, business owners who’ve been in the trenches.
• Marketing strategies you can actually use—no jargon, no gatekeeping.
• Encouragement without the ego—especially for women building bold businesses on their own terms.
• A mix of wit, wisdom, and the occasional marketing metaphor—because learning should feel like a good conversation, not a lecture.

We’ll unpack what’s working, what’s not, and what’s changing in the digital marketing world so you can spend less time guessing and more time growing.

Whether you’re growing a brand from your kitchen table or the corner office, you’ll find ideas, inspiration, and a few laughs along the way.  

Follow @lorrainefball on Instagram, for a more marketing conversations and lots of pretty pictures .
