In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, we'll explore how every minute you invest impacts the growth of your small business and marketing success. From answering emails to planning social media posts, each task carries measurable value—or cost—to your bottom line. Many small business owners stay busy but often miss evaluating whether their time contributes to real local marketing success and business growth. We'll challenge listeners to assess their daily activities through a profitability lens: identifying which minutes generate momentum in their local marketing efforts and which drain resources. You'll learn how to assign a value per minute, identify your highest-impact tasks, and why you should delegate or automate the rest. If you've ever felt like you're working all day but no moving forward, this episode will help you reclaim your time and focus it where it matters most. .
