Hey Abby –
Clarity is key. Start by breaking down your long-term vision—what do you want the business to look like in 5 years? Now, reverse-engineer that into short-term goals. What can you do in the next six months to get closer to that vision?
Your marketing strategy needs to hit both the immediate wins and long-term gains. For example, short-term: get 100 new leads this quarter. Long-term: build brand authority and community engagement. Everything you do should have a clear path from short-term execution to long-term growth. If it doesn’t, you’re wasting time.
