Everyone in the business world has heard of the classic bestseller by Geoffrey A. Moore titled “ Crossing the Chasm ,” but most entrepreneurs have no idea how it relates to them. In fact, it’s all about the “focus” required to get early stage technology products across the deadly chasm from early adopters to mainstream customers. Most investors and startup professionals expand this concept of focus to apply to key issues of every aspect of strategic and tactical planning in a startup.

I know entrepreneurs who have suffered from premature execution often associated with the ready-fire-aim quick-to-market approach. Yet I believe that many more have benefited from this approach, especially in early startup stages. If your product is highly innovative, and speed to market is critical, you won’t get it right the first time anyway, no matter how cautiously you plan.

Rob Sobers said about the marketing growth strategy, “It’s not about tactics—it’s about people and process.”. And when it comes to people, you need buy-in from all over the organization. Growth is everyone’s business. When it comes to process, growth marketers must learn to fail. And fail fast. A marketing growth strategy is about small and incremental wins that build up over time.

Every new year brings with it a new form of excitement and anticipation. The reason is that every new year brings about a “newness” for lack of a better term when we are able to start fresh and change those things that we did bad or things we have been thinking about doing. For us at CEO Blog Nation, we get it. So, that’s why we are excited about 2022 because there will be more and more entrepreneurs and businesses.

Growth hacking is how Slack went from 15,000 to half a million daily users in its first year. It’s why Canva can call itself a multibillion-dollar platform and how ConvertKit pulled itself up to compete with goliaths like MailChimp and Campaign Monitor. Growth hacking isn’t about deploying sleazy tricks. It’s about making calculated, data-driven moves for fast growth.

Payday loans can easily get you caught in a debt trap. If you’re launching a startup and are strapped for cash, payday loans could be bad for your business. Taking out payday loans has become increasingly popular. If a borrower takes out a loan for a short period, he or she is committed to paying off the loan by the next payday. That’s called a payday loan.
