More Miles Per Gallon or a Bigger Tank?

In Issue #19 of the YellowTelescope newsletter, we introduced a new addition to our practice-growth family – SEOversite.com. Today, we are elated to report that our new client volume has quadrupled expectations over the last 3 months, initially averaging a new client per day our first two weeks, and more since.

A key contributing factor is for the practice leader to define his or her joy – the very root of what makes the leader happy in both personal and professional life – and then to share that joy with the team. That definition then becomes the practice’s “WHY”. It delineates every decision the company makes and becomes the culture of the organization when communicated plainly and relentlessly.
