If you have one thing holding the business back - speed up cycles. Go from meeting weekly to daily. Start all meetings with the metric you wanna improve. Go granular on individual accounts. This is the fastest way I've seen big turnarounds happen. Cram a year of work into weeks.
Whatever you do, don’t be the guy who gives up at the exact moment when you should be fighting with everything you have.
You’ll make it through either way, but there’s only one way you’ll look back and be proud of yourself.

You will know you have won when the people you’ve beaten diminish your win by claiming moral superiority.
Since they couldn’t beat you on the field they’ll make up new rules and call themselves victors.
