Let them do the marketing research… help you with growth… and build your momentum.

But that really helped me think about how one of my new businesses is going to grow because we are about to hit some fast growth.

Thanks and I also love your podcast.

I think that you hit the nail on the head in the final paragraph or two: measurement, followed by refinement, followed by measurement, etc, etc.

So many business stumble, trip, and fall into growth. Everyone's so busy doing that they pay little head to what, how, or, most importantly, why they are doing it.
