We realize this might gain us some followers—or cost us a few—and that’s okay. We didn’t do it to be popular. The events of last month hit both of us deeply, and we felt it was important to be real, honest, and have a conversation.

One of the most important strategies in marketing is just doing it … always. Definitely don't pull back during the busy season or if you’re booked out. If you are too busy to market, it’s a good time to talk to your business coach because it normally means it’s time to hire. Because when the leads are flowing in, this is your chance to grow.
