The 4 Wins (Issue 262): Outcomes vs. Activities—and Building a Marketing Foundation
Robby Fowler introduces The 4 Wins issue 262 and shares four segments for solopreneurs and entrepreneurs: a “something to try” recommendation centered on reclaiming online privacy with a Chrome-compatible, ad-blocking, tracker-stopping browser, plus a note that a short demo will be on YouTube. In part three of a series on why doing more marketing can make things worse, he explains that many business owners lack clear, measurable marketing outcomes and confuse outcomes with easily copied activities, emphasizing the line: “Outcomes are difficult to achieve while activities are simple to copy.” He argues marketing often needs a stronger foundation— a core message built with radical empathy—before choosing channels or tactics. He then reflects on how AI can lure people into endless activity-chasing. Finally, he shares a personal push to start posting the issue on YouTube despite internal resistance from his “preventer me.”
