As a small business owner, you not only have to be great in your industry but learn all the other parts of running a business too, i.e., marketing. Effective marketing is arguably the most critical component of any thriving business. It's what attracts potential customers to your brand, creates name recognition and it's how you'll be remembered over time. It doesn't matter if you bake the best pastries or are the most incredibly skilled hair stylist if nobody knows about you.

From the author, Jen Esparza, "I know that 'small business' is a broad term. A hairstylist, a car mechanic and a florist pick up this book . . . yes, it sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. But while I'm aware that your businesses may be vastly different, the marketing tools you need to define your demographic, refine your mission and reach customers are the same."

I admire you. You are hardworking. You are dedicated. You are rare. And any way that I can support your business, I'm here for it. I wrote this for you.
