Tired of researching marketing tactics but still not seeing growth? Learn why small business owners are ditching DIY and hiring a done-for-you marketing team to finally get steady leads online.
I’ve got a confession to make.
I don’t doom scroll.
But I do doom learn — and honestly, that might be just as bad.
Let me explain...
Most people kill time on social media, scrolling endlessly. But my trap looks more productive. I’m constantly reading business books, watching videos on how to grow my marketing agency, and listening to podcasts on entrepreneurship.
And for the most part, it feels like a good thing. I’ve even built solid habits around it. I read non-fiction for 30 minutes a day. Fiction for 10. I take notes in Notion and love referencing my takeaways. I’m genuinely curious and always looking to improve.
But here's the problem...
I wasn’t actually implementing anything.
I’d finish a great book. Get fired up. And then start the next one without putting any of it into action.
That moment of clarity hit me right after I finished Sell Like Crazy by Sabri Suby. The book is a goldmine for service businesses like Launch Kit and our clients. It lays out exactly how to build marketing funnels that bring in qualified leads week after week.
I read it. Got excited. Told my team about it.
Then... started a new book the following Monday.
Wait. What?!
I hadn’t touched any of the strategies. No new funnels. No landing pages. No follow-ups.
Just more learning.
That’s when it hit me:
" Learning is easy. Implementing is hard."
And when something feels hard, we default to the path of least resistance - picking up another book, watching another video, hoping it magically gets better.
Sound familiar?
If you’re a service business owner - maybe a contractor, HVAC tech, salon owner, or nonprofit leader - I’m guessing you’ve been here too. You’re constantly researching how to get more leads or look more professional online... but your business still feels stuck.
So what’s the fix?
You hit pause.
You go back to that one big idea - the one you know will move the needle - and go all in.
That’s exactly what we’re doing right now at Launch Kit. We put the other books down and went back to the marketing systems Sabri teaches. We're not just reading anymore. We're executing.
And that’s what we help our clients do, too.
Launch Kit is a done-for-you marketing agency based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We build websites, photo and video content, social media campaigns, and advertising systems that help small businesses finally get the steady leads they’ve been dreaming of.
Think of us like your accountant or lawyer. You hire us to do the thing - because you’ve got better things to do than fiddle with your website at 10 PM.
So if you’re tired of thinking about marketing and ready to actually grow, let’s talk.
Until then - Ask yourself:
What’s one thing you’ve been “learning” about — but not doing — that could make a 10x difference in your business?
Now go make it happen.
