Marketing a business is a lot like skiing—always evolving, full of challenges, and exhilarating when everything clicks. From the sweat of preparation (layering up, adjusting strategies) to the thrill of momentum (carving through trends, gaining traction), both require adaptability, resilience, and a willingness to fall and get back up. Just like summiting a peak, growing a brand comes with moguls to navigate, quiet moments of reflection, and the rush of success when everything flows. The journey is just as rewarding as the destination.
