I see this all the time—entrepreneurs and marketers like us scrambling to try every new tactic we come across. One day, it’s TikTok ads. The next, it’s Linktree. Then it’s an email outreach we barely understand the concept and objective behind it. It’s clearly a series of blind executions without a real strategy. And then we wonder why results aren’t improving. The truth, well most marketing problems don’t come from a lack of action but from a lack of strategy and direction. And if we can dedicate just one hour a day to slowing down, learning, and planning, you’ll start seeing a shift.
Enjoying a successful journey in marketing is about knowing why something works before we invest time and money into it. That’s why setting aside an hour a day to learn—whether it’s learning better methods through how-tos, reading case studies, analyzing other people’s campaigns, or studying your competitors—can help you make smarter decisions. Marketing isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing better. And that starts with an hour of your time daily.
Take a step back daily. Use that 1 hour window to read. Find credible sources for that, those publications with marketing sections in them. Here are several publications I believe will add value to your marketing journey in a big way which I recommend highly.
Yes, 1-hour is enough. Try it and thank me later.
