What are you doing to grow your business?

Adam talks about his work on for the financial website: https://marketchameleon.com/

In the end, it is all about how much value you can provide. And if you are only reaching 10 people you are simply not providing much value. You need to start adding some zeroes to that number of people so 10 becomes 100 which becomes 1,000. SIMPLE!!

Winning is doing better than you did yesterday.

Small business owners often have a difficult time pulling the trigger on a piece of software like a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
