Amy's advice for scaling a business

    Translated through the Deep Specialization lens

    I just signed off from a great 6-hour workshop with Amy Porterfield, among other thought leaders in the marketing world.

    If you're unfamiliar with Amy, she's a NY Times best-selling author and leading voice in online marketing. 

    Amy's number one piece of advice for scaling a business: Less is More.

    She said:

    • Prune your campaigns so you can focus on the critical few.

    • Double down on what's working to level up.

    • Do less so you can get great at what you do.

    • Stay in your lane, and avoid getting distracted by shiny objects and flashy trends.

    Now, let's filter this through the Deep Specialization lens:

    • Focus on your best-fit clients in a vertical market (and say no to others) to level up the value and impact you create.
