Agreed Dennis – your solution would definitely strengthen them, allowing the visionary to guide – which is a strength of theirs.

Their are alot of small business owners that try to be self-sufficient, that is they try to take on everything by themselves, when they don’t necessarily have a comparative advantage in that particular task. The reality is alot of small business owners should try to spend more of their time on what it is that they do have a comparative advantage in, and the delegate the other work to others who are better than them at it

Thanks OCM,

I spoke with a small business owner who wants to address his online marketing but needs assistance. One too many hats.

Quote:

“Are you charting your course over the next few months to ‘get ‘er done?’ What ever goals you set for your business, do you have a particular motivation tool. My mastermind group has each of us set out our goals until the next meeting which is quarterly. The motivation is embarrassment. We don’t want to look as though we are not following through on our intentions. Actually the group is very encouraging, regardless of your success. It is only the effort that counts. The group holds the author accountable.”

It is the sentiment expressed in this paragraph that I think strikes a cord with small business.

Office MOVER,

Putting online marketing on their radar, small businesses have made the right first step. Step two – getting assistance, can be found here or any number of places. I am only encouraged when I see a promotion in my in-box. Being in the field, junk mail is inspiring. Watch how businesses approach getting your business and use it develop your own campaigns.

Personally I find that the fear of “not marketing ourselves effectively” is because alot of small business owners are managing their resources and time properly. Their are alot of small business owners that try to be self-sufficient, that is they try to take on everything by themselves, when they don’t necessarily have a comparative advantage in that particular task. The reality is alot of small business owners should try to spend more of their time on what it is that they do have a comparative advantage in, and the delegate the other work to others who are better than them at it. I bet their marketing would be alot more effective as a result.

I hope that made for you guys.

Till then,

Jean

You’re absolutely right, this is the time where small businesses have perhaps their biggest opportunity to shift from their traditional marketing to online marketing. Many small business owners are interested in tapping the online market but don’t really know how to do it or who to approach for help. The smart business owner will start building up his brand right now, while the economy is slow, to emerge strong when the economy picks up again.

By the way, your “strong” tags are visible
