Understanding how long it takes to launch a new initiative and get results from your marketing is essential.

The unfortunate truth is that things will always be ten times more than you think, whether it's ten times more money, time, or attention.

While it doesn't matter if it's three or ten times more, understanding that concept in your marketing is key. You're going to put things forward, there's going to be things you didn't know about before, and you're going to have to figure them out.

So the topic for today's episode is how to plan ahead for this properly and ensure positive results. 

We will discuss:

- Progress Over Perfection

On today’s episode of Corporate Caffeine, we welcome Paul Boyd, the CEO of Force Scaling. His understanding of “That Pie in the Sky” idea of scaling-- which every business owner wants to achieve is not so easy when you're actually in the trenches, is unmatched!

Paul is well known for taking a marvelously simple and practical approach to achieving stunning scalability for businesses and has a ridiculous track record. He also recognizes that there's an intensely emotional side to the business journey; he always holds space for the owner to find their joy and their own personal potential in addition to the business's potential.

Today I'm diving back into the topic of recession planning, but here's the thing: In reality, this whole planning series and recession planning are no different. 

It doesn't matter if you're just not worried about recession or if you are. The things that we're talking about are fundamentally critical to growing, scaling, succeeding, building resilience, and building joy.

So! Let's dive into this topic of alignment and what it has to do with resiliency. 

We will discuss:

- Alignment is about value

- A fundamental shift in the value proposition

- Think about how the market is prioritizing now

- You also have to understand what your customer's trigger is

- Prioritizing existing clients

- Customer-centricity and team-centricity

- You also need to shift this perspective inward

- Give people permission to re-prioritize their tactics

- The best way to be trustworthy is to be clear about what you're trusted with

Unfortunately, we live in a culture where our to-do lists are so long that we have a tendency to get stuff done and never do the follow-up.

This means we miss this huge question: How do we actually optimize something? This could be around digital marketing, building your team, or helping them develop.

This could be around a personal project that you have. How do you actually optimize? 

Today I'm going to break down a few ways to think about this, and I hope to encourage you to go back and get more out of what you're already doing.

This is all about good stewardship. We have been entrusted with resources: people, mental capacity, financial points of view, relationships, and more.

We also discuss:

- Where should we optimize first?

- What's working, and what isn't? 

- Building an ecosystem

- Is your message right?

- Your budget alignment

- Getting more out of people

- Are there new or alternative ways to do things?

- Optimizing Your Time

- Being intentional with your calendar.
