Working in your business instead of “on” it is an easy trap for most entrepreneurs to fall into, especially when you’re a one-person show. I especially like the customer referral strategy and your contest tip gave me an idea. September is Self-Awareness month and I’m thinking it would be an interesting experiment to see if I could get a few trusted partners in my niche to work together for a promotion. Definitely worth sending up a trial balloon! Thanks Mark. 🙂
