Many home service businesses are chasing the next “magic bullet” — the new platform, the perfect ad, the secret funnel. But here’s the truth: there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and trying to copy what someone else is doing can actually slow you down.
In this episode, Stephen and Andrew unpack why most marketing falls short — not because of the strategy, but because of misaligned expectations and the pressure of constant comparison. They get real about what actually drives long-term results and how to focus on your business, not everyone else’s.
In this episode:
The myth of the “perfect marketing strategy”
How comparison creates confusion and burnout
Why copying other businesses usually backfires
The importance of mindset, consistency, and internal alignment
What to fix before throwing more money at marketing
Forget the silver bullets — this is about building something that actually works for you.
