Your online presence will dictate your businesses success in growth. Some longtime businesses with established customers are doing well, but if they are not putting effort into their online presence their business is not reaching its full potential. This may or may not be important to you.

Why a Business Would Not Build Their Online Presence

Recently we were speaking with a dentist. He had been in business for 30 years. He was slowing down, he did not want to grow. He wanted to start having more time with his family. He had established himself so long and worked so hard, it was time to enjoy life. This is a perfect example of a business who was not interested in reaching their full potential. His years of seeking and working towards building an empire had already passed and he was now focusing on all the things and parts of life he had sacrificed before.
