Marketing often feels like a chaotic trial-and-error — jumping between strategies, trying everything, starting things and stopping things and wondering why nothing seems to stick. If that's how you've been feeling, this is a must-listen episode.

In this #AskSuzi episode, I'm answering one of the most common questions I get from women business owners: "How long should I stay focused on one marketing strategy to actually see results?"

We're breaking down why so many small business owners abandoned strategies before they work, what's really underneath the wish-washy changes, how to tell the difference between a strategy that isn't working and one that isn't working yet… and get my C.O.R.E. Marketing model to make simpler and smarter marketing decisions.

What You'll Discover in This Episode: 

  • Why marketing chaos is so common right now — and why it's getting worse
  • What healthy experimentation actually looks like (hint: it's not "try everything and hope something sticks")
  • The most common knee-jerk reactions business owners have when a campaign flops — and why it's sabotaging your work
  • The real reasons we keep switching strategies (it's more layered than you think)
  • The one word that completely changes how you think about your marketing
  • How long a marketing strategy actually needs to run before you can fairly assess it
  • The difference between "this isn't working" and "this isn't working yet" — and why it matters
  • The 3 foundational reasons a campaign genuinely fails (and what to do about each one)
  • The C.O.R.E. Marketing Model — four things, done consistently, done well
