5 Lessons Every Entrepreneur Can Learn From Shark Tank

Marketing Strategy

The television show Shark Tank has become something of a phenomenon, especially with the entrepreneurial set.

Random Chats

It's Day 6 of the Just Blog It 30-day Blog Challenge for Entrepreneurs, and today's challenge is about industry pet peeves: What's one thing that happens in my industry that gets under my skin? My Pet Peeve in The Marketing Industry As a marketing professional, my pet peeve is that too many people have launched themselves as social media experts, and they get business owners all hyped up on social media like it's the next coming. Most of the so-called social media experts that are selling products to small business owners are clueless, but they can sound like they know what they're talking about to an uninformed business owner who doesn't know the difference... that is, until said business owner has a conversation with me. I'm always debunking something! Why is this a…
