Is being successful really about adding new clients to your business every week? When is enough clients... enough?
Today’s episode is inspired by a question from a listener, Donna from New York (if you have a question for us you can ask it here).
She wrote:
I would love to know your thoughts on the statements "grow or die" and "maintenance is a myth". Two statements that have been haunting me a little the last few months and how this topic came about. In my particular situation of the pandemic and being in a hot spot, I am happy to be able to stay afloat with my modest community of around 50. Is that just a way to let myself off the hook for not growing?
This question lead Dale and Kyle on a 30 minute conversation about success, poor marketing techniques, B.S. and comparing yourselves to others.
