How To Achieve Your 2019 Growth Goals

by | Dec 13, 2018 | Marketing

As 2018 comes to an end, business owners are turning their attention to 2019, likely with a focus on growth. Growth is dependent on a number of factors, some manageable, others not. One factor that leaders have the most control over is marketing. When marketing is firing on all cylinders, it drives awareness and conversions. Marketing is the beating heart behind growth and it can easily be the difference between hitting or missing growth goals. 

But for many business owners, marketing does not come naturally. You may have built your business because you are a great attorney, or you’ve created an amazing organic bath and body product, or your software serves a niche that no other software does.  That is what you should be focusing on, not marketing. So if you’re not planning on going back to school to get a degree in marketing, how can you, as a business owner, implement a powerful marketing program to meet your growth goals for 2019?
