Why you need to invest in your business

What you're losing out on by not investing in your business

You did it - you decided to take the leap and start a business. And right when you’re about to celebrate you realize...you’re broke. And then you realize in order for your business to succeed,  you need to - you guessed it- spend money.


If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. We see it all the time. Every day. In fact, we’ve been there before.


Here’s a quote from one of our clients who was in this exact same boat:

Investing in your business gives you a chance to not just survive, but to thrive. As soon as you invest, YOU become even more invested in your business - and then magical things happen.


Now you’re acting like the professional business owner you always wanted to be. Now you’ll see why your digital presence and business strategy NEED TO HAPPEN intentionally in order to get the money from leads you’re missing out on by trying to do it yourself or hiring someone who's stuck in 2000 and late.


So where do you invest? Here’s our top 3:


Strategy: You need to clearly define your branding, message, demographic, conduct a SWOT analysis, understand your branding narrative, what makes you different, understand how to price your services, and more. Without a foundation, everything else becomes harder. While it’s best to do this from the very start, it’s never too late to give yourself a brand refresh - and relaunch.


Website & copywriting: Once you have a clear strategy and understanding of who you are as a brand, you need to convey that in a smart, engaging way online. We build websites with Google’s best practices in mind, write in a way that speaks and connects with your audience, and use strategic calls to action to grab your lead before they leave.


Additional support & ongoing training: When you’re up and running and business is going smoothly, this may be the point to hire some extra help. Whether it’s hiring out for social media, someone to do your books, or getting an assistant or intern, you don’t have to do it all yourself. Additionally, it may be a good time to research specialized training to improve your business, from learning how to sell, Facebook ads training, or training to improve your own skills.
