So important for us to focus on our vision and go with it. We're the only ones who really know what we had in mind when we started the business--and how we want it to grow. BTW, your graphic was a great reminder! Great topic, Sue. So important for us to focus on our vision and go with it.

You're right, they're aren't many people that are talking about being a visionary AND trusting your own vision, yet it is important to business success.

This makes them focus and put time and thoughtfulness into themselves before using my time. 2) I might deflect the request for a "free" meeting and point the person to purchasing one of my "one and done" hours. If they decline, so be it. But I send the message I'm not available for free at that time. Sue Hi Jeff,

I agree and think that the best way to handle the speed of change in the marketplace is to hire a mentor that makes it his/her job to keep up and just filter the info to you.

Nevertheless, as you say, it is NOT true split testing, for sure! Sue Hey Jennifer,
I’m laughing out loud that you were cringing – I do, too, but that IS one of the “new things” being talked around. Nevertheless, as you say, it is NOT true split testing, for sure!

When you change just one element at a time you can figure out EXACTLY what works the best so you can replicate it ... I was starting to cringe when you were mentioning changing lots of things and "who cares what was different" ... yikes! That's sort of like throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks ... only you don't know what was in the spaghetti to make it stick! Sue – YES!!!
