You are so welcome, Retha – glad you enjoyed 🙂

Thanks for a very insightful and thought provoking article… in my own business I feel like I understand marketing but I like the clarity and concise way you share the importance of knowing our own brand and message. Marketing in essence is showing the world what is possible with our products or services.
