Breaking Through the good enough trap
Corey Quinn
Founder, Deep Specialization™
Good is the enemy of great. What if Apple had created the iPod and said 'well that's good enough'?
Ever catch yourself saying "things are going pretty well"?
That's the most dangerous place for your agency to be. Here's why:
The Comfort Zone Is a Growth Killer
When you're doing "good enough" work for "good enough" clients, you'll never push to become exceptional.
Market Leaders Never Settle
The gap between good and great is where most agencies live. The gap between great and exceptional is where market leaders thrive.
True story: At Scorpion, we grew from $20M to $150M by refusing to settle for "good enough" in our vertical. We didn't just serve lawyers - we became THE agency for lawyers.
Ask yourself: What would it take to be exceptional, not just good, in your market?
