As an entrepreneur, productivity is essential for your business growth. Marques knows a thing about productivity. In this episode, he shares his top tips for business success. First, Marques emphasizes the importance of discipline and consistency. No successful business is built overnight – it takes hard work and dedication to see results. Second, Marques stresses the art of follow-up. Whether it’s following up with clients or suppliers, staying on top of communication is essential for keeping things moving forward. Lastly, Marques believes that you have to show up at your best and respect people and their time. When you’re feeling your best, you’re able to put your all into your work and see the best results.
