Key Takeaways:

Transitioning services from in-person to digital formats can help businesses reach a wider audience while reducing time and resource constraints.
Sharing customer success stories and results on social media can amplify brand growth and generate organic engagement.
Catering specifically to a targeted, well-defined group of customers often leads to higher satisfaction and better business outcomes, especially for advanced or specialized services.
Saying "no" to smaller or less profitable opportunities helps businesses concentrate their efforts on high-impact projects, leading to more sustainable growth.
Regularly posting engaging and informative content on digital platforms not only builds an audience but can also generate direct revenue and drive product sales.

"Saying ‘no’ more often allows you to focus on the bigger opportunities, and that’s led to some pretty serious growth for us in the last year and a half.” — Nick Shaw
