(To Help You Make More Money Now!)
As you previously discovered in part one of this series about proven small business tips,
it’s not about creating or implementing slam dunk marketing strategies and tactics, in order to be more successful in your business.
In fact, it’s literally quite the opposite for the vast majority of us. Case in point: if you were to try and implement some really elaborate (not to mention) time consuming marketing plan, most of us would simply find an unlimited amount of bogus excuses for not (consistently) and properly executing it. Nod your head.
