Words of Wisdom

Bring your best stories to that podcast. Don't worry about promoting your business so much as you worry about entertaining and educating that audience and then they will enjoy you so much that they'll want to start listening to you in other places. Milton Hershey said, “Give them quality. That's the best kind of advertising.” So if you want to promote your business, be really authentically you and do your best to provide value to that audience. — Shelley

How can I make the best of situations I face?
