BEFORE YOU START

Before you start, however, you and your team need to be clear about why you are in business. What are the short and long-term objectives? What spins your jets about the business you’re in? Once you have that clarity, you can be much more effective in marketing your business. Please start with the first module – Why am I in business. If you don’t have clarity about this, no amount of marketing will be effective.
