One of my favorite creative thought leaders, Todd Henry, just launched a new podcast, the Daily Creative. In his first episode, Snakebite, he poses the question above.
In business (and life), we’re continually learning and taking risks—developing new products, adding new team members, and scaling our companies.
We don't know what the future holds. Will the product sell? Will we have enough work to support another team member? Where will we be in 5 years?
Vision and goals for the future don't always come easily. Sometimes, it's like film developing in a dark room—a clear image emerges over time. Once the image emerges, we can make decisions based on that image.
Do you have a clear vision and goal for your company in the new year? And what would you do in your marketing if failure was an option? Reply now and let me know.
