looking for marketing ideas that will help grow your business?
You’ve come to the right place! More Great Ideas was created for marketers like you, and us, to find advice you can count on. Real-world marketing from real-world marketers.
I’m going to assume you’re here for one of two reasons – either you have a business and need a little help or you have a dream. A dream to be self-sufficient, your own boss and able to afford all the good things in life – whatever those are for you.
So you embark on a journey of exploration, committed to learning everything you can about turning that dream into reality. But weeks … months… and years of scouring the internet have made you more knowledgeable but haven’t done a thing for your bank account. And, you’re starting to see patterns in the self-proclaimed, online gurus. Either you read the same advice … over and over again, or question their real-world experience?
If you’re brave enough to have told friends or family about your dreams, you might have been met with less-than-encouraging responses. The truth is, it takes a special kind of person to even think about venturing out on their own – to be an entrepreneur. So good for you, every journey starts with the first step! Let them throw rocks at your dreams – you can use them to pave the driveway to your 10-car garage!
