Most businesses don't have a marketing problem—they have a focus problem.

In this episode of **Books & The Biz**, Dan and Rich are joined by Josh Anderson of Marketing Reboot to discuss why better growth often comes from doing less, not more. They explore how eliminating distractions, focusing on the right customers, and aligning marketing with business operations can produce stronger results than constantly chasing the next tactic or trend.

If your marketing feels busy but isn't driving growth, this conversation will help you rethink where your time and money are really going.

Today we will address sub-par performance and steps you can take to fix it.
