This is Marketing
We read Seth Godin’s book, This is Marketing in Thought Readers in January. It is a fantastic book for the time we are in right now, as business owners, human beings, and as marketers.
Over the course of the month, we discussed a number of topics, and Seth himself even chimed in and answered some questions for our group which was a really big deal. Right before we started his book, I emailed Seth, told him about our group, explained how Thought Readers worked and invited him to join us. I was blown away when he showed up.

Marketing is the very activity you do to attract leads and customers to your business. It’s also the very same activity others use to attract you to them. With everything going on in your inbox and on social media, it’s becoming difficult to manage the marketing madness of messages and notifications.
Let’s face it, you’ve got notifications on three to five social networks easily, you’ve got messenger inboxes on all of those social networks and you’ve got your regular email inbox to manage. It’s a lot to stay on top of. Navigating your way through the distractions to get to important stuff can be challenging and tiresome.
