If I could give a small business owner one piece of advice… If I had just one sentence I could say, that sentence would be, “Listen to Seth Godin“. Seth considers himself a teacher and puts out amazing content. He helps us learn to see the world differently now, based on the way we are all connected with the internet and our phones. He reminds us that marketing can be generous, and to push through things we fear, as a means of bringing new and better ideas to the world. If you have a small business, his concepts are invaluable. I feel I apply them everyday, and I attribute so much of the positive results to what he teaches.
Who is Seth Godin you ask? Just google “Seth” and you’ll find his daily blog, his weekly podcast Akimbo, and so much more. If you want to very quickly get a glimpse of who he is and what he talks about, just search his name on YouTube and watch just about any video.
