It was a very good year

MergedAnalytics had a great year. We grew almost 450%.

The “Take a Breath” Podcast is meant to educate entrepreneurs.

Our mission is to talk about how the sausage is made.

Success is not always interesting.

What we find interesting is discussing our trials and tribulations and how we came out on the other side.

Hopefully we can help you getting your business off the ground.

The growth we had in 2023 was NOT only because we grew our customer base…we did, rather our growth happened also because of various ways we worked smarter.

In this episode Thom discuss why we grew in 2023.

Finding your passion

What is the difference between stress and passion?

One definition is…

Working hard on something you hate is called Stress.

Working hard on something you love is called Passion.

The issue is finding your passion.

We all know some people who found their life passion accidentally.

Most of the time finding a passion early in life is based on luck.

But what about the majority of us who have not found that 1 passion.

Discipline is the answer.

It is through discipline you find freedom.

The feeling of freedom puts you on the right frequency to find your passion/purpose.

Thom and I discuss finding passion and purpose in this clip.

The value of sticking with it

What is the value of sticking with things?

Although it may seem difficult in the moment…. often NOT quitting and grinding something out turns out much better than you would think.

Thom and I discuss how without sticking with MergedAnalytics…there is so much we would have missed.

Some advantages of sticking with a startup business…

– Stories – In the beginning the stories are few and far between but as time goes on…experiences happen that turn into interesting stories that help market your brand

– New verticals – We can sell #mergedanalytics to ANY B2B business but we discovered the value of pursuing a vertical

– The value of Verticals – You learn their pains and vernacular. You start to network where they network. Your world becomes smaller. Your prospects network with each other.

– Using your product in other ways – We discovered a great niche by leveraging QR Codes with MergedAnalytics #smartlinks. This idea came to us from one of our long-time customers.

By the way…as Kenny Rogers said…”you have know when to foldem” as well.

The point here is…we often walk away from opportunities too soon.

Best of Breed?

What do you think when you hear terms like, Best of Breed, Award Winning, Best in Class, Number 1?

Do these terms influence your purchase decision?

The best brands never say they are the best. Google does not proclaim to have the best Search Engine, Nike doesn’t say they have the best gear, Microsoft doesn’t boast that most businesses in the world use their software.

No….they never say those things. Nike says…”Just do it”. Apple says, “Think Different”.

You use the best brands because they make you feel a certain way.

Thom and I discuss this important topic further.

Too many Philosophers?

Are we seeing a bubble in the executive self-help/coaching industry?

Are there too many philosophers?

There have been debates recently on social media that there are too many people out there who claim to have it all figured out.



These people constantly preach to us how to be more productive and effective with ourselves, coworkers, friends, family, prospects and customers.

Ice baths, breathing, exercises, fasting, side hustles, newsletters…. all in the name of self-improvement and success.

I think something else is going on here.



My take is….I believe these people are simply projecting and mostly speaking to themselves.

There is a saying that you learn through teaching.

I believe that is actually what is going on here.

This is all fine but I believe we need to be aware and recognize what is really going on before we consume advice from people who may or may not have it all figured out better than ourselves.

Have confidence that you actually know what you are doing.

By the way, I am speaking to myself not you!
