Last time we talked, we were still trying to figure out what this thing is. So much has happened since the last episode. We decided to get back on the horse because it’s good to record where we’re at as a business.

Stampede has really formed a lot. We talked about how we were creating 2 companies, Stampede Web and Stampede Digital Systems. We also added Stampede Networks and we kept branching out. But there are so many aspects to creating and executing on a great marketing plan. We were playing with bringing more individuals in to do some of this work and now we have a whole team of specialists.

We are learning as we go, but it’s really all about giving lots of value.

A few weeks ago we had a launch party. We got everyone in the same room together and got to meet each other. We shared our vision for Stampede and explained why we wanted them to be a part of it. We had a little bit of a reunion with some of the original members of the mastermind who got to see what they influenced. It was fun to see the excitement on their faces we shared where we are at as a business. And now we have this little baby that we need to care for.

We’ve started doing some advertising and using some of our specialists to do a little bit of marketing of our own. All this time we’ve spent figuring out the marketing strategy and bringing people in to implement the strategy, we’re now starting to think about using those strategies for ourselves and experience a little more growth.

Stampede Web is starting to grow legs. The bulk of our ads right now are towards the Sales Site. It is in the hottest test bed at this time as we look to see how effective the Sales Site is. And as the Sales Site experiences success we get to start growing this thing.

It’s time to start asking the question, “What do we do if this thing fails?” It’s never been tested before, so what do we do? What do you do when your big idea fails? You just don’t quit. The really successful folks don’t quit. You pivot and you keep working. We need to figure out how the Sales Site fits into the marketing funnel and into the funneling process. We’ve always had a grasp on it, but we’ve never really tested it.

We’re using the experts to enhance our ideas and make them better. And ideas are always better when they are actually used because you actually see what works. If you can spend money on a lottery ticket or a weekend hobby, you can spend some money on growing a business and you might just change the world. Why not?

My thing has always been, “Find your Passion. Follow your Passion. Live your Purpose.” There is nothing more pure and true to living your purpose than doing that thing that inspires you, that gets you up in the morning. It doesn’t matter if you are making money or not. If it’s what gets you up in the morning, then you know you belong there. You know you have to do it. In the entrepreneur space, we love to live and play with “What if you were doing that thing that gets you up in the morning every single day and getting paid well for it?”

Come on the ride with us and we’ll see who makes the million-dollar mark first.
