Making Time for Marketing

Absolute PA

I’m going to take a wild guess and say that you’re a busy person. In fact, I’d go as far to say that you probably have more work that you can possibly get done in one day. Am I right? If you’re that busy, it’s likely that you also struggle to find time to do any marketing – and you wouldn’t be alone. (It actually happens to me too – but don’t tell anyone I told you that!).

Have we built a monster?

You hate me; but your abhorrence cannot equal that with which I regard myself. I look on the hands which executed the deed; I think on the heart in which the imagination of it was conceived, and long for the moment when these hands will meet my eyes, when that imagination will haunt my thoughts no more. – Frankenstein.
