Man, I'm just taking a second and thinking back about all of the amazing things that happened over the last few days at Spark. Like, I knew it was going to be amazing. But, I don't think any of us expected it to be THAT amazing. But, while I've still got a bit of adrenaline flowing through my veins because of how awesome it was, here's something I've been thinking about since the after party finished that I can't seem to shake it. It was great to connect and in a lot of ways reconnect with people I haven't seen in a while or have only connected with over zoom calls. But, what about all the people that I'll never meet because they've shut down their business? ----------------------------------------------------------------- There are plenty of legitimate reasons to shut a business down or even take a hiatus for an extended season. But, I think often times small businesses close their doors a bit prematurely. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics did a study a while ago. They found that 20% of new businesses shut their doors in the first 2 years. Only 45% make it to the 5 year mark. 65% make it past the 10 year mark and a whopping 25% make it to year 15. And, while that's sad here's the cool thing: If you can keep your doors open for longer than 15 years you will have more experience, authority and relationships than 75% of your competition! ----------------------------------------------------------------- So, if you want to know the single biggest thing you can do to build a brand or web design business it's this: JUST KEEP GOING! When things get tough...you stick with it When you don't know what to do...you take it one step at a time When anxiety feels like it's going to swallow you...you take a nap, eat a snack and try again And, that sounds awesome BUT here's the thing I've seen that makes keeping your doors open nearly impossible: lack of meaningful relationships. It's easier to shut the doors to your business if only a few people will even know it happened. Quiet quitting in the corporate world is where you decide to do the bare minimum to keep your boss happy. Quiet quitting as a business owner is when you slowly decide to stop renewing your URL. You choose not to respond to business inquiries right away if ever. Then after a few months, the thing you were so excited to get off the ground is a source of regret or frustration. This is the single biggest reason why we at Showit place such a high priority on community. Sure, it's important to grow your skills. It's important to develop some "know-how" in your field. But, more than anything, if you want to really excel in what you do, you've got to develop really strong relationships. And, here's the thing, there are few places you can go that where when you meet someone you almost instantly feel like you've known them for a very, very long time like Spark. So, can I encourage you? If Spark 2025 isn't on you radar, please strongly consider coming. In fact, for just a few more hours Spark tickets will be THE LOWEST PRICE they will be all year. Even if your on the fence, it makes sense to grab a ticket now.

But, I am saying that it always guts me when a brand or web design business closes because they don't have any relational support. They don't have anyone to help them in the trenches when they feel like giving up, but if they just stuck with it for a little bit longer they'd find the breakthrough they'd been hoping for. So, come to Spark 2025 and find people who feel what you feel and have experienced what you have experienced. Find someone to call when you feel like throwing in the towel. Or find someone that YOU CAN BE THAT PERSON FOR. -->DON'T WAIT TO GRAB YOUR TICKET ( https://click.convertkit-mail.com/v8u74x29pzbrhx69v96tghvnkpllls9/kkhmh2ulk=
