006: Seven growth drivers in my first 5 years of business

In your first few years of business, you’re in a phase where you’re trying really hard to figure things out – everything from your product (or service) to your messaging, your price point, how exactly you’re gonna get leads and turn them into customers, your backend systems, even your business model itself.
It’s a time of intense experimentation. You’re studying best practices, you’re implementing them – you’re basically throwing a bunch of spaghetti against the wall and seeing what will stick. Some things you try are surprisingly successful, some strategies are a dead end, and others have lukewarm results. What works for someone else’s business might not work for yours, and vice versa.
A lot of entrepreneurs are extremely forward-thinking, so we’re always rushing on to the next experiment. But I think it’s interesting to reflect on your business and identify what were the key strategies and tactics that moved the business forward?

Year in review 2020
It's past time for the year in review episode... and it's also been a whole year since I published anything at all on this podcast.
The explanation is simple: 2020. Practically nothing more needs to be said, right?
I know a few listeners have written in and said you've missed the Entrepreneurs in Motion podcast, and I've missed doing it! But this was a year in which my responsibilities had to get pared back to the absolute minimum, and since this podcast is a side project for me, I had to put it on pause.
Today I'll share a summary of the past year:
- How COVID affected my business
- What went well in 2020
- What didn't go well in 2020
And as always I'll pull out some takeaways or lessons for you, the listener. Come comment and let me know how your year went!

I decided to do a simple Black Friday promo, and today I'll be sharing exactly what I did, the strategy, and the results. Listen in to learn advantages and disadvantages of Black Friday sales, why I don't normally discount my products (but why I decided to do so now), and the specific messaging I used to inform my audience about the sale... and, of course, the numbers!
