    🚀 What if everything you've been told about growth is both wrong and right? 🚀 Ask a research firm, and they'll say growth comes from understanding your customer. Brand designers will tell you it’s all about the brand. Marketing agencies say it’s in the communications. SEO experts swear by keywords. Lead generation insists it’s the sales funnel. They’re each wrong—and they’re all right. 🔑 The true answer to growth isn’t in any one of these, but in all of them—together, they form what we at enabling ideas® call a #growthengine. When you start with isolated solutions—branding, SEO, marketing—you end up with a disconnected strategy and activities that constantly need fixing to align with each other. But when you design a Growth Engine as a whole, each function works in harmony from the start, propelling you forward faster and with fewer setbacks. Ready to rethink your approach? It’s about building a system, not just a collection of functions, that will fast-track success from day one. 🚀 At enabling ideas®, we’ve assembled 40 expert partners who work collaboratively to build and execute growth engines. Why bring in a single function when you can leverage a complete engine? A few of our best-in-class #expertsApex Strategy Inc.

    Born out of period of cheap money and an ecosystem of using other people's money for trial and error, more money has been lost chasing product-market fit than perhaps any other misguided activity. I can't think of another practice that fails so repeatedly yet remains a norm. 🚀 Market - product fit. Deeply understanding market needs and gaps early in your journey creates a more seamless, efficient, more likely and ultimately faster path to success. We are now entering a period where Founders are going to have to better prove the market opportunity first before their product idea will get any substantive level of funding. enabling ideas® Fast-tracking the journey. Start-up to Enterprise.

    42% of startups fail because they are trying to solve a problem that doesn't really exist, so nobody wants their solution.😏😏😏 One clear reason why #startups fail is that there's no market need for their services. #StartupsAdvice #entrepreneurship #AI #tech #innovation
