Jumping back in with both feet.  I wanted to do a quick episode about charging what you're worth.  A lot of freelancers, business owners, and employees undervalue their services because they are looking at their price from a consumer frame as opposed to a producer frame.  Hopefully, this episode will help you set or raise your prices.  Here's a link to purchase the "Nobody Cares. Work Harder." hoodie I referenced:   Click here.

Who?   Although this is a single word sentence, this is one of the most important questions in human history.  Knowing WHO gives the person asking the question the ability of foresight.  It allows you to plan and execute without wasting time, energy, and resources.  You shouldn't make a social media post, create a product or even start a business venture until you have your "who" firmly in your mind.   In this episode, we discuss the power of "who" and how it can accelerate your marketing efforts.   Knowing who is very important.  It amplifies the power of your mailing list and allows you to target different segments of your list with the perfect product or services.  I'm a partner with Constant Contact because it's one of the powerful yet dead simple email marketing platforms I've ever used.   If you want to get started with Constant Contact, follow this link and try it out.  

In this episode, I discuss five lies Small Business Owners are told about Marketing.   Cheaper is always better Marketing has to be expensive. Having a website is marketing.
