Unlike traditional marketing funnels that rely on gravity and narrow reach as prospects move downward, the Growth Pyramid channels energy upward. It’s powered by the forces of Consistency, Context, and Culture, creating a dynamic system that propels your business ...

By James Bullis |
Success in business often hinges on one crucial decision: the choice between chasing immediate results with quick-win tactics or building a sustainable foundation with long-term strategies. For many business owners and marketing freelancers, the appeal of instant gratification can be irresistible. Discount campaigns, viral posts, or last-minute pivots may provide temporary boosts, but they rarely create the consistent, scalable growth necessary to thrive in the long run. Focusing on strategy, however, transforms the way businesses grow. Strategies provide clarity, direction, and purpose—empowering every decision and action to contribute to a unified goal. In contrast, relying solely on tactics often signals ...

By James Bullis |
I wasn't sure what I wanted to title this blog post to kick this off, but I thought it would be kind of correct to title this blog post genesis. What I plan to write in this blog is something that has been gnawing on my brain for the last few years. It's only gotten more loud and worse over time especially with the advent of AI as it infiltrates our industries and causes us to look deep within ourselves to find out if we actually know what we are doing as an industry. I keep asking myself if I ...
