Who Says You Need A Fancy Harvard Degree In Order To Be A So Called Marketing Genius?
Entrepreneur you may or may not have graduated from a fancy, (not to mention!) outrageously expensive Ivy league school. (No worries neither did I.) You may have only graduate from a public high school like I somehow did.
But whether you formally finished high school or not. You definitely don’t have to have a fancy degree from Harvard or any other prestigious Ivy league school in order to be considered a real marketing genius.
Of course no ones arguing “if’ you did happen to graduate from the likes of Harvard or Princeton with a degree in marketing or Business Administration. Your chances, (if nothing else!) of at least being hired by a fortune 100 or fortune 500 company are pretty darn good.
But being effective at marketing and or promoting. Is not really about where you went to school or “what” if any type of advanced degrees you have. (Thank goodness for that.)

Even if they already have it. They’ll constantly brag like crazy. Both on and off of social media. (And absolutely love you for doing so. It’s dirt cheap marketing exposure to both their personal and professional inner circles.
2.) Proven rock star treatment strategy # two: Find out “if’ they have a favorite local or national charity. You can support either one with either your, finances or proven expertise.
Both they and charities will love you for doing so.
