The problem I often encounter when I work with business leaders is that they feel blocked and limited in their growth. They claim that the market is saturated and that they no longer know where to seek growth. However, when I ask them what their market shares are, many of them have no idea. That’s why I recommend conducting a market study to better understand your situation and identify growth opportunities. But this study will only tell you where you can look for growth.
