How much should you really spend on marketing?
In this episode, I challenge the common belief that you should wait until your business is profitable before investing in marketing. Instead, I explain why marketing is often the tool that creates growth—and how to approach it without taking unnecessary risks.
You'll learn:
How much established businesses should budget for marketing
Why your first customers rarely come from paid ads
The difference between marketing and sales
Why debt is a dangerous way to fund growth
The simple marketing activities every business owner should be doing
How referrals, reviews, and reputation can outperform expensive advertising
The biggest mistake business owners make when tracking marketing results
Whether you're just starting a business or looking to grow an existing one, this episode will help you think differently about marketing and make smarter decisions with your budget.
