As I reflect on my journey in marketing, there’s something profound I’ve discovered that keeps resonating within me. I call it the “Bull’s Eye Strategy,” and let me tell you, it has the power to completely transform how you approach your marketing efforts. This isn’t just another marketing tactic, it’s a spiritual awakening for your business.
The Challenge That’s Holding You Back
I’ve been walking alongside business owners for over eight years through dba marketing pros, and I see the same three challenges over and over again. These obstacles aren’t just business problems, they’re spiritual barriers that prevent us from reaching our full potential.
First, there’s the lack of clarity about your target audience. How can you plant seeds in soil you don’t understand? You might be testing new strategies, trying different marketing channels, but without knowing your ideal clients, you’re scattering your energy like seeds in the wind.
Second, you’re overwhelmed with too many options. Social media marketing, Google Ads, email marketing, content marketing, the list goes on. When I look at successful businesses, I see that paralysis by analysis is real. You put decisions on hold, months pass by, and you remain stuck doing only what feels familiar.
Third, there’s fear of taking risks. This fear creates a cost of inaction that robs you of the fruits and benefits your business deserves. I’ve learned that when the spirit of doubt increases, we stop moving forward.
The Bull’s Eye Strategy: A Divine Marketing Revelation
The Bull’s Eye Strategy came to me through the wisdom of DuckDuckGo founders Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mars in their book “Traction.” What struck me spiritually about this approach is how it mirrors life, you must focus on one thing to master it completely.
Think of it as building your tree. When you build your tree strong enough, people will come to eat from it, and it will feed mighty nations. This strategy has three sacred rings that guide your journey.
The Outer Ring: Surveying Your Kingdom
In the outer ring, we examine all 19 main marketing channels available to your business. This is your season of discovery. Look at your previous clients and ask yourself: “How did they find me?” These are divine clues the universe is giving you.
Research what channels successful businesses in your industry are using. If you’re in healthcare, are people finding businesses through Google My Business, television, or local newspapers? Don’t reinvent the wheel – learn from those who’ve walked before you.
As a digital marketing agency, we’ve seen businesses transform when they stop guessing and start investigating. Study your competitor reviews, look for hidden gems in customer feedback, and pay attention to where your ideal clients spend their time.
The Middle Ring: The Testing Ground of Faith
Here’s where faith meets action. From those 19 channels, choose three to four that resonate with your spirit. I recommend starting with a $1,000 budget – $250 per channel for your first month of testing.
This is your garden analogy coming to life. You’re planting seeds in different soil types to see which produces the best fruit. Some will grow, others won’t, and that’s perfectly fine. This testing phase requires patience and discernment.
Track everything with the precision of a faithful steward. Use QR codes, special phone numbers, unique landing pages. Whatever helps you identify which channel is producing genuine conversations with your ideal clients.
The Inner Ring: Your Promised Land
After testing, you’ll discover your Bull’s Eye Strategy: that one channel that produces not just leads, but your ideal clients. This is your sign of life, your burning bush moment in marketing.
When you find it, amplify it with everything you have. Put all your eggs in this basket. If it’s television advertising (like our men’s clinic client in Raleigh), master television. If it’s strategic partnerships (which became my personal Bull’s Eye Strategy), become the relationship-building expert in your industry.
My Personal Bull’s Eye Journey
I want to share something personal with you. When I first implemented this strategy, I didn’t want strategic partnerships to be my Bull’s Eye. I wanted something easier, just put money somewhere and watch leads flow in.
But the spirit within me kept confirming that relationships were my path. In this industry, people need to know you, like you, and trust you. They won’t invest in your services based on an advertisement alone.
Strategic partnerships have sustained my business for years. The know, like, and trust factor made all the difference. Sometimes the path we’re called to take isn’t the easiest, but it’s always the most fulfilling.
Taking Action: Your Next Steps
Here’s what I want you to do right now. Go through this process with the faith that you will find your Bull’s Eye Strategy. Remember, if your first set of channels doesn’t produce fruit, you still have 16 other channels to test. This isn’t failure, it’s discovery.
Consumer buying decisions change, markets evolve, and your Bull’s Eye Strategy might shift over time. Stay adaptable, keep testing, and trust the process.

The path to finding your Bull’s Eye Strategy isn’t always straight, but I promise you this – when you find that one channel that resonates with your business and your spirit, everything becomes clearer. Your marketing efforts become focused, your results improve, and your business grows in alignment with your purpose.
According to HubSpot’s latest research, businesses that focus their marketing efforts on 2-3 channels see 300% better results than those spreading themselves thin across multiple channels. Imagine finding your golden strategy and putting all that energy into one channel. A peace of mind, I can tell you.
