I love these two guys. They speak my truth.
Scott Stratten is an expert in viral, social, and authentic marketing. Over 45,000 people follow his daily rantings on Twitter and he was voted one of the top influencers on the site with over 20 million users. His book, UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging. (affiliate link) is due to hit the shelves in August from Wiley & Sons. We talked about how to stop selling on social media tools and how not to be in such a rush to create relationships. Scott also talks about how to make videos viral! Listen now!
I don’t agree with many people’s business philosophies but I love what Jason Fried stands for. As the co-founder and President of 37signals, he believes there’s real value and beauty in the basics. Jason wrote a fantastic new book, Rework (affiliate link). On the podcast we talked about (at the 12 minute mark) some of the things he believes:
1. Planning is guessing.
2. Focus on learning from success, not failure.
3. Forget about being an entrepreneur.
4. Innovation is overrated.
5. Forget about just growing. Right size your business.
6. Know what your business stands for.
7. Startups don’t exist.
8. Sleep is productivity.
9. The best ROI is laziness.
10 Forget competitors.
My spouse and i have been really contented when John managed to carry out his research via the precious recommendations he received from your own web page. It is now and again perplexing just to possibly be freely giving strategies which usually many people could have been selling. And we all consider we’ve got the blog owner to be grateful to for that. All the explanations you made, the straightforward site navigation, the relationships you can aid to create – it is all superb, and it’s really letting our son and our family reckon that this topic is enjoyable, which is certainly tremendously pressing. Thanks for the whole thing!
