Scaling a business in an evolving digital landscape can be challenging, especially when industries shift, markets crash, or technology forces companies to adapt. Entrepreneurs often have difficulty knowing when to pivot, how to specialize, and where to focus their efforts for long-term success. So, how can narrowing your focus open up new opportunities and drive growth in your business?

Brendon Dennewill, an adaptive and strategic thinker, shares how he successfully navigated multiple career transitions, from the fishing industry to real estate and ultimately into digital marketing and CRM technology. He explains the importance of recognizing market shifts early, leveraging networking to find clients, and making bold decisions to focus on scalable services. Brendon also discusses the challenges of switching from a marketing services agency to a HubSpot CRM implementation firm, emphasizing the need to embrace change, invest in new skills, and build strategic partnerships.
