Worst investment everGiuseppe was looking to take some things off his plate, so he hired a full-service marketing company that did everything from website management to emails and social media posts. Giuseppe’s voice got lost in this process. He had given someone else control of his brand and what he was doing. It all got diluted. Giuseppe felt like he’d been thrown in a box with just about every other company in the marketing company’s portfolio. He also got virtually zero return from hiring the company. In fact, it ended up causing more confusion for his business. It took Giuseppe a long time to regain control of his brand and voice.

Giuseppe’s recommendationsGiuseppe recommends reading Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business to learn how to keep everything balanced. Even if you don’t own a business, the book will teach you about the intricacies of managing your KPIs daily.
No.1 goal for the next 12 monthsGiuseppe’s number one goal for the next 12 months is to work less and help more people than he did in 2023. He’s outsourced his marketing by having someone produce, edit, and share the content that he’s creating.
Parting words“Go for it. Life’s too short to be miserable. Take a chance on yourself, but do your due diligence and talk to people that own a business.”Giuseppe Grammatico
