Why Most Small Business Strategies Don’t Work—And What to Do Instead
If You’re Doing Everything "Right" and Still Not Getting Results…
You’re not broken. You’re not behind. And you’re definitely not lazy. You’re probably just following a strategy that was never built for you in the first place.
Most of the advice small business owners find online is generalized, formulaic, and designed to scale for the masses. It might look good on paper—but if it doesn’t match your goals, energy, or business model, it’s going to fall flat.
At Twin Heron, we see this all the time: smart, passionate entrepreneurs pouring time and money into strategies that feel heavy, misaligned, or downright confusing. And it’s not their fault.
The Problem With Generic Strategy
It’s tempting to believe that a single webinar, download, or 7-step funnel is going to fix everything. But your business isn’t like anyone else’s—and your strategy shouldn’t be, either.
Here’s what we see go wrong:
Strategies that don’t account for your actual bandwidth
Messaging that doesn’t reflect your voice or vision
Systems that look good but drain your energy
Generic frameworks can help you start, but they rarely help you grow. Especially when you're a purpose-led founder trying to do things in an honest, creative way.
