Strategize E102

In this episode of Tycoons, Michael Pedersen joins the show to talk about what it means to be a revenue growth specialist. Mike’s background in “content marketing” to include informative and instructional videos has led to his current success as an entrepreneur.

Tune in to hear Mike explain the importance of strategizing your company before you can take your marketing and advertising to the next level. Companies spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on marketing, but they do not have a strategy and therefore their marketing has been ineffective. Mike Pedersen Consulting will work with you to develop your business strategy and start growing your revenue.

Mike has a free book that you can download here: https://yourbusinessgrowthpartner.com/

He’s also looking to interview experienced business owners for his second book. The focus of the book will be to share the strategies from the first book (which was written pre-pandemic) and get insights on to how they think businesses in their industry can benefit from these strategies post-pandemic. If you’re interested in being interviewed, reach out to Mike!

You do not want to miss this show with Darlene Ziebell; it was so full of great advice for business owners, that even the Tycoons were taking notes! Darlene’s advice is simple: ask questions and listen. Do your market research and don’t believe everything you read online. Go out and ask strangers to understand the market. A few other tips that she believes in are investing in a good mentor and surrounding yourself with a group of professional advisors.

The biggest takeaway from this episode is the importance of a business plan. It should have three components, similar to a pilot’s flight plan: where are you now, where do you want to go, and what are the steps to get you there. Check out more of Darlene’s advice on her YouTube channel where she has a series of free 7-minute videos.
