Default How to succeed at whatever business you like...

I've dealt with many people in small business...

Many of them have great technical skills...

They may be a great chef. Or a great carpenter. Or a great beautician. You name it...

But, they can't market to save their life!

I meet these people, and I want to help them with their marketing. I know I can bring new customers through the door (as I've done it before). However, the reality is, I only have a certain number of hours in the day...

There is clearly an opportunity here. If you have marketing skills, you can get into virtually any business you want. You just need to partner up with the right person who has the complementary skills...

So, let's say a person would like to have a successful restaurant, but can't fry an egg without burning it? However, that person has true marketing skills. That person can then partner with a great chef... and handle all the marketing for the restaurant.

(A third person - a good restaurant manager - would also be wise in this case, too!)

This goes for virtually any other kind of business...

The lack of marketing skills out there really boggles my mind!

So... If you learn marketing skills... The real kind (based on emotional persuasion)... You can pretty much do whatever you like.

Who wouldn't want that? It leads to a very interesting life...

Best wishes,

Dien

I definitely agree that you have to continue learning about new strategies in relation to your business. One thing more, you need to take care of what you have started especially your target market. Likewise, improvement is necessary.

You link us to a site on writing essays (reviews), and your post is full of grammar errors, and it is just terrible English, perhaps not your native tongue? Also, almost all of your reviews are filled with errors.

I will let the post remain, as an example of a really bad drive-by attempt to get traffic to a site.

See, no one reading this would ever use the review site as a trusted source, because it screams of bad writing, how can anyone believe you know the difference between a good essay and a poor one? You have clearly demonstrated the quality (lack of it) which we can expect from the review site, yes?

OK?

Dien, I agree.

BUT (as Pee Wee said to Dolly; "There is always a big but Dolly...)

Today, there are tons of students, few applicators. The students are making the applicators oodles of dough by buying their cult leader's secrets...they APPLY it to their own cult and like to preach to their choir. Smart!

Fewer still apply their knowledge of "emotional persuasion" to a 'cold' audience for any significant results.

And many forget to use it during the course of their daily mundane activities, which helps explain why they have mundane...and not extraordinary days.
