Over the years, we’ve been asked the question many times – “What are the basics?” or “We’re ready to get serious about advertising our product or business – where do we start?”
Students in advertising school in college imagine that they will one day spend their careers thinking of amazing new things no one has ever thought of before. They imagine they will daily solve problems in new and amazing ways. They believe their sheer talent alone will make the difference for the businesses of their clients who will stand in line at their door to be blessed with their wisdom and creative power.
Similarly, when you started your own business, you probably had a few stars in your eyes as well.
The truth is a little less glamorous, isn’t it?
Actually (and a bit surprisingly), the ad business is (as Edison would say) one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration.
It’s the same way with growing your business.
Sure, the amazing bolt-out-of-the-blue, change-an-industry-forever ideas come. We’ve had a few of them ourselves. But the reality is that growing your business is usually a simpler proposition.
It’s hard work.
Although it’s not what people expect, there’s some comfort in this fact. If you do the right things at the right time in the right order, you’ll grow.
