------------------------------------------------
I was what they called a "Newbie." I had no experience making money online and no internet marketing experience whatsoever.
This is where almost all of us start...
And attraction marketing? What was that?
The first thing I thought was that it had something to do with The Secret, and some new age method of abundance that I’d have to read about in some Jack Canfield Chicken Soup for the Internet Marketer’s Soul book.
All I knew was that I had an urge like gravity to sink myself into this booming internet economy, and flex my entrepreneurial spirit so I could live a better life.
Sound familiar? If you’re with me, keep reading, an important point is to be made here. I’ll be blunt and direct, if you mess up here, you will fail before you even begin.
Doesn’t it seem there are a million and one tips and other pieces of advice on how to do this internet attraction marketing thing?
Everywhere I turn, I hear talk about blogs and websites, capture pages, building your list, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
It can be hard for someone to locate an ideal starting point when beginning from scratch.
Every successful person has had to start from scratch. Every successful business person has had to start the long journey at the foot of their mountain of dreams.
So I hear the word "newbie" tossed around quite a bit. That’s what we call these people.
It refers to someone who is absolutely new, and doesn't know much about anything with regard to marketing their brand, their company or their products on the internet.
But more and more, I'm noticing a subtle yet profound difference between what would normally be called a "Newbie" and what I'd like to now call "Smart Beginner."
I'd like to distinguish the difference between the two. My goal is for you to understand the difference between a "Newbie" and a "Smart Beginner."
I want to empower you to differentiate yourself, avoid being a Newbie in favor of a Smart Beginner.
The Most Significant Difference Between a Smart Beginner and a Newbie
First and foremost, Smart Beginners focus on what value they're willing to give. Value in this context means the promise you can make to yourself with regard to the promise you can make to the people that comprise your target market, and others that are inspired to join your “conversation.”
After that, immediately set up the basic components of a marketing funnel.
This comes BEFORE you start asking yourself or saying aloud:
- How do I make an additional 500-1000 per month?
- How do I make 10K per month?
- How do I sell 5 ebooks per week?
- How do I get 10-15 new reps in my business per month?
- How do I find a system that does these things for me?
It’s that mindset that keeps you focused on the wrong things. Don’t be mistaken, these are great goals and aspirations, but without emotional attachment in so much that it consumes what should be a very natural process of giving value for value’s sake.
The only thing that ends up happening when you ask those kinds of questions, and make that your main focus, is you become a consumer – because there will always be the “next best thing” you have to have because you’ve been conned into thinking it does the work for you or will make things easier.
That is so Newbie-like.
I see this all the time, people purchase so many resources when all they need to do is use what’s within Renegade Professional for $49 per month, and some of the fees associated with the tools that go with setting up the initial components (like web hosting, domain purchase, contact management system).
Other Specific Differences Between a Newbie and Smart Beginner
- A smart beginner puts emphasis on training and learning how to market. This means that they put 80% of their emphasis on training and learning to market themselves, and the remaining 20% on the implementation of their marketing training.
- A newbie doesn't make this differential. In fact, they may not even be considering marketing training. They think about making sales, affiliate commissions and the easiest and most effective short term way to pitch their deal.
- A smart beginner is committed long term, and anticipates that it will in all likelihood require a full year of consistent intense part-time effort to realize steady and effortless success. The smart beginner has a plan and is committed to working that plan.
- A smart beginner is immediately concerned with providing value to the communities which they are seeking to belong. They observe and study, and hone a message to deliver that is in alignment with the message their target audience wants and needs to hear. To do this, they have to understand themselves. As well as understand their place along their own developmental continuum.
- A newbie doesn't consider these things. A newbie hasn't spent anytime considering their target audience and prefers the "scattershot" approach. A newbie says, "Development continuum?" and scratches their head.
- A smart beginner can quickly flip what they've learned to begin benefiting their target audience. This is one of the first ways to offer value. Learn, apply and teach. It’s a simple smart beginner formula. Rather than trying to reach the masses, they initiate one on one connection and seek contacts before customers.
- A newbie isn't necessarily learning. They’re busy using whatever instantly gratifies a quick buck. A newbie stays a newbie because they don’t look at their business as a long term, self sustaining venture. A newbie is just trying to make money.
So ask yourself...Which are you? "Newbie" or a "Smart Beginner?"

Very true in deed. This is also true of the offline mlm where almost everyone is pitching their marketing plan without first questioning the prospect's desire.
Financial reward is like a thank you certificate for value-able service rendered or to be rendered.
Now, as much as I agree. I still find that being reminded helps reforcus the mind to take deliberate action to grow so I can offer more value tomorrow than I did today.
Thanks for the posting.
Eric,
I love the way you spelled this out. A smart beginner definitely comes equipped with, or soon discovers, the knowledge that they will need to figure out how to learn what to do to eventually earn a long-term place in the marketing world.
Understanding the difference in mindset can help us direct our newest marketers down the right path. And, as always, helping others is time well spent.
Erik, this post could not have come at a better time. I have a newbie right now who needs to discover the value of being a smart beginner instead. it's my job to hopefully get her to see it by leading with value, insight and tact. thanks.
@Marie - you bring up a great point...as I wrote this post it didn't occur to me that if we already are of the "smart beginner" mindset, we have a certain obligation to teach it too, as that is what creates attraction (and just good to believe in people anyway). Glad to hear that you are helping others discover that the path of a smart beginner is a "richer" path than that of a newbie.
@Becky - Good point about adopting the smart beginners mentality and mindset is a sure bet for sustaining a long term place in the internet business community. I see it as fundamental (hence the name Smart Beginner).
Thanks for your comment.
@Philip - Excellent point. I've never extended this line of thought to the offline world of MLM but I see the shoe fitting. The fact is that Attraction Marketing (and being a smart beginner is certainly the first step toward being a affectionado of attraction marketing) is applicable to everything and in every business situation. It even goes beyond business, and into all sectors of workplace. Thanks Philip, I'm glad you enjoyed the article enough to leave a comment.
I knew you had written this article Eric, after the first couple of lines. This is such an important distinction to make -- and to adopt the mindset of the "smart beginner" rather than "newbie" is to start off developing the confidence that we need from the very beginning. It makes it much easier to grow to the next step when we empower ourselves this way.
I just recommended one of my non Renegade clients read this blog for good free information - and Eric, you have provided exactly the value she needs right now! Thank you.
When I read the characteristics given of the Smart Beginner, hope is generated. There is a grounding that allows the new participant of any project, organization, sales marketing team to take a deep breath, and set a path.
Your distinction of the Smart Beginner charts a course with the four action steps taken. Conversly, behaviours listed to avoid are valuable also.
When I sometimes get discouraged with the challenges that face my marketing efforts, I come back to these kind of truths to refocus. I determine to stay with it to the end goal. All the while doing my best to give however I can.
Thanks Eric, for being a Smart Beginner, you have moved along the learning curve well, sharing from your experience.
Eric,
This is perfect! I've been thinking to myself that I and others like me who have had slow road for whatever reason, aren't really newbies. I and they are Smart Beginners. We know the value of attraction marketing, but just aren't all that far down the road.
I always love to read anything you write. You have a tendency to write about things I need to hear.
Hey Tracy, thank you for your kind words. I've seen you around quite a bit, and I know you are moving steady. Stay with it. I appreciate your comments on my content, and enjoy seeing your picture nearby. Have a great day.
Hi Eric,
As I read this post I was reminded of almost 2 years ago when I read for the first time Ann Sieg's The Renegade Network Marketer. This post is that good, Eric. I think it's the prelim of a fabulous ebook.
The way your words here immediately rings true for me (as the not too long ago newbie) is so powerful that I'm sending my list here.
It took me too long to learn what you're saying and I don't want any of my readers to miss it.
I'm a smart beginner now but it took a long time to stop chasing so many "ways to make money online." I finally just settled down with Renegade Pro. Wow - what a nice change. Not to focus desperately on how to make money online but here, the focus is always on how to "create value online." (AND offline, e.g. the coaching program)
As you and I have talked about so often, focusing on creating value online (and offline) is sooo rewarding. It's purpose-driven, not money-driven. It's fulfilling, not desperate. It's attractive, not pushy. It's focusing on a genuine desire to help people.
The end result and ongoing surprise for me has been cashflow :)
Stay with it everyone - don't ever stop learning inside Renegade Pro. It will keep you focused and purpose-driven. It is the most fulfilling way to NOT focus on $$ money and the fastest way to make it! $ $ :)
I like this post. "Newbie" as it were, generally labelled "i am an inexperienced marketer online". Many "newbies" are taken advantage of just because of the branded label. Even though I have been trying to "brand" myself on the internet, working part-time for the past couple of years, I still consider my self a "newbie", but more a "Smart Beginner" because I never stopped learning.
One can never stop learning, especially in pursuing their dreams. I am very fortunate and pleased to be a member of Renegade PRO. It is the best thing I have seen in the 2years on the internet. Thank you!
Boy am I thankful for your post... I didn't realize how much of a "newbie" I was... seems like this kind of thinking comes naturally and is also promoted by so many in my upline... I glad I was made aware of how much of my mindset needs to change. Thanks again!
Eric, This is a wonderfull post.It inspires me to continue learning and become a smart beginner rather a Newbiie.Once again thanks for being an eyeopener for me.
I discovered the world of internet marketing doing research for my real estate profession just under a year ago. It is easy to get sidetracked because of the volume of other marketers selling information and their products. I became intimidated and embarassed that I was not able to create sales as fast as the claims. Realizing that I needed the knowledge, I spent lots of money on educational webinars and websites but not on just the simple basics. Some of it was advanced and I was beginner. Thank you for reminding me that don't have to spend a fortune and there is a reasonably priced education available at my own pace. It is so easy to become a consumer of educational online marketers before you learn the basics and have the smart mindset! Wealth is when you enrich your life and can give value to others.
Thank you for helping me focus and get back on track!
Eric, Thank you for 'waking me up', I've been anewbie for 2 years now and you have just inspired me to change my mindset and become a 'Smart Beginner'!, my upline in my UK MLM is always telling me to set goals exactly like the five that come after you establish what you are willing to give!
( * How do I make an additional 500-1000 per month?
* How do I make 10K per month?
* How do I sell 5 ebooks per week?
* How do I get 10-15 new reps in my business per month?
* How do I find a system that does these things for me?)!!!
I have a wealth of experience (40 years) in Computer communications, and I have been helping 'seniors' (the "over 50's", "Baby Boomers", "OAP", "Senior Citizens" etc.) understand how they can set-up their home computers to "talk" to their friends and relatives acroos the world, and "shop" online etc.
I know now that I must concentrate on this 1st and foremost, so that I can help this very active group with their relative 'PC Challenges', online with them being able to 'see, follow and learn', all the "How-to's" that I am able to teach, while sitting at my computer at home, using a "remote assistance" program, over the internet.
I do not have contact with my sponsor in Renegade Pro, so I need to find a willing 'mentor' within Renegade Professional/Renegade Breathrough Mentoring, that is willing to keep me on the "straight and narrow".
Time is not an issue with me, but I do need a mentor who has greater knowledge of the process I want to embark upon, without being constantly distracted as I reach the various challenges along the way.
I joined Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring, but I have not passed Session 5 yet, and feel that I am 'overwhelmed' as I am so far behind! Session 11 is tomorrow!
Once again thank you for this super 'eye-opener'. It really has helped me to see a clearer path once more!
From a new "Smart Beginner"
Kind regards

Hi Eric,
Great article and excellent advice! I agree with the comments made by Becky Joubert and Marie Leonard. We have been given the responsibility to help new people be “smart beginners” - to help them get off on the right track.
Too many times, newbies do not get the internet marketing training they need and spend months buying the latest “get rich” systems. Then they find themselves no better off than when they started.
I have to admit that I have, at times, reverted back to the “newbie” status. Unfortunately, I should have known better. Buying the latest “quick buck” system has always been a waste of time and money for me.
Eric, your article is great advice for all of us.
Scott Hubbard
'Development continuum' is a very valuable concept, and one that smart beginners understand.
Nearly everyone wants to make a sale and earn a dollar, and nearly everyone gets frustrated with the slow early pace of success.
However, as you pointed out, the Smart Beginner is using a different yardstick than the Newbie. The Smart Beginner is aware of his own development continuum and derives confidence from the progress. Learning skills and delivering value are better measurements of progress, and early success, than sales and revenue.
Long lasting success, and revenue, comes only to the persistent Smart Beginner. I can't believe how long it took me to learn that!
You've captured the challenge for many, many people - some of whom will have an 'aha' moment, I'm sure - well done.

Eric, great message as usual. I read this quite some time ago, but it's always good to come back an get a reminder.
I know I have strayed away from the trainings at RenPro only to discover overwhelm, frustration and an empty wallet. Everything I have needed to get my marketing up and running has been inside RenPro.
Thanks for the reminder.
Michelle Moseley
Eric,
Once again a worth while article to read. For me it was a re-awakening, remembering that I am a 'smart beginner' and no longer a newbie.
I've read all the othes' comments and the value there is evident as well.
I think it is easy sometimes to lose sight of what's important for our success and to focus on what will postpone the success we all desire so much.
Thanks again..I needed it!
Smart beginners quickly move out of the beginning category and into the intermediate and advanced categories. Newbies will never get away from beginning because they never master a skill - they are always looking for the magic bullet and always beginning something new. One needs to take the time and effort to completely master something then move on. In my personal experience nothing is ever mastered until it can be taught to someone else. The thought process in teaching is completely different than the thought process of doing. It takes a teaching process to completely cement a new idea into your brain. During the process of teaching a skill is when the skill is truly mastered by the teacher.

"Newbie" or "Smart Beginner"
What a wonderful way to illustrate this...
You have uncovered the roadblock, that so many are still scratching their heads about...
"The Mindset"
Thanks For Sharing,
Donna Wells
I realized that I am actually a newbie! Oh, man, this is no good. I was distracted by a lot of great marketing products or courses out there. In the end, I was a bit lost and achieve nothing great. I think I need to shift my mindset from "Newbie" to "Smart Beginner". That's where the entrepreneur spirit lies. So, I had committed to myself to focus on courses in Renegade Professional. I am wasting my time if I didn't do that. Good post, Mike!
Thanks,
Rick
Eric,
I am definitely a" Newbie" I love your site. So I am going to go get back to that in a minute. Does your company have a phone # for questions? I cant find one anywhere. I was told to focus on the90 Day Action plan . Do you agree?
Thanks Again,
Patti

Thank you Eric, what you contribute really matters. I hardly miss one of your articles etc. And there is not so much to add to those great comments above. But what I really got coming to the end of your article and that really touched me was your bold last sentence "Leaving no Renegade Professional Behind" Whow! Since I really go in slow motion being torn between studying and having some partners and prospects that don´t even have an e-mail and many that hardly use it or go to the internet. We are in Germany, you know. So especially thanks for that last sentence! It makes me still feel part of it and NOT left behind when I see all those wonderful sharings. You are really writing into my listening.
Hi Eric,
These are the first words other than e-mail that I am posting on line. I've just finished the orientation webinar with Mike and am ready to create my first Squidoo (whatever that is). And to now have the label "Smart Beginner" shifts my entire consciousness toward what I'm going for in such a positive way.
Thanks for such a great post. Ted Larkins
@ Ted, Congratulations for taking that first step. Believe me, it gets easier from this point on.
I always knew that i wasn't part of the norm of "newbies" but now that you have put that thought into such clear outlines, i now realize that i am also not part of the perfect "smart beginner" (if there is such a thing). Reading this, it has become pretty clear to me that i still have many "newbie" like qualities, and although i have always been for the most part a "smart beginner", there are many aspects in which i could improve.
I am glad that i ran into this article before taking on the many challenges that are ahead of me in this coming year.
Thank you for posting this.

Thank you everyone for all the great comments. Making that mental switch from newbie to smart beginner is a powerful first step that will put you on the right path towards success. Without that switch, you're doomed to failure.
Best wishes for a prosperous 2010.
I've always believed in the Master's recommendation of seeking the kingdom first so that all these other things could be added. first i'm here to learn,.share and grow.
I love this post. I wanted to come back to it in light of the Renegade Live Event just finished. I believe everything said there was in alignment with the truth of your post save one message which bordered on a get rich quick message.
So I wanted to pose a somewhat rhetorical scenario. I'm sure you are familiar with one of Winston Churchill's rallying speeches which followed the evacuation of the British Force from Dunkirk:
"I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
"Even though large parts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,"
He spoke the truth. The war required grit of the Brits. Now try to imagine this same leader in June of 1940 saying something like:
"I know things look tough. But don't worry, because in 3 weeks our enemies will be defeated. In short order, your freedom and peace will be secured!"
He could have found a few scattered examples of wars that had been successfully won in such short order. Such scattered examples, however, would not have been a useful insight into what Great Britain faced at that time.
Churchill had lived through the nonsense that was World War I when both sides boasted, in 1914, that the war would be over in 3 weeks. As newly elected PM in the spring of 1940, he knew that the British people did not need nonsense, euphoria, or a frenzy of false belief. They needed the truth for the long haul that would indeed be required.
As the owner of a small business -home business or otherwise- you can be sure of the importance of being a smart beginner. Get fully prepared -"make the necessary arrangements," know that it will take time, defeats will come, but never surrender. Receive help and coaching (the British received help from America, Canada, and others). Like Britain, if you are properly prepared and persevere with intelligent actions, you will win.
@Richard Goutal,
WOW! you hit the nail on the head. Great comment. I enjoyed that. You are some writer, Richard. Thanks for dropping by. Great to have met you last weekend at the RPro Live Event.
Eric
Richard, great responding post.
You got my curiosity though on this one:
When you wrote: "I believe everything said there was in alignment with the truth of your post save one message which bordered on a get rich quick message."
What was the 'one' message that bordered on the get rich quick?
Thanks for all your GREAT and consistent contributions!
Mike
Hi Guys, Ya know after reading that article I can see myself making the adjustment from Newbie to a Smart beginner, it's been hard because I'm in such a bad financial battle right now that all I could think of was making some quick cash to get out of debt . Now after learning what it's going to take to make the transition from being ansy about making a quick buck to being excited about learning about the internet and helping other people first through your teachings, I'm getting the message, thanks for all your help now and in the future. Mike B.
Thank you for your words Eric. Thank you to everyone with comments. I agree with Tracy and I'm glad I'm not the only one on the slow road. I think I have been a newbie and have sifted to smart beginner the last 4 months. I am getting more confident about commenting since I have been doing it more. I'm working to remember it takes time to master a new skill like Dotty said.
Have a great week.
Jenn
Ya Know Eric as I was reading the article and I have to say that I'm starting to lean more towards the smart beginner. I'm pretty desperate to make some quick bucks because of being upside down on our house payments and just being able to make the payment on a refy but, I''m also learning that giving of myself to teach people how to navigate the web to help them in there business endeavors is what's important, that's what I want to do.So thanks so much for the webinar and look forward to seeing and learning a lot more in the webinars to come and also through Renegade Uni Pro.
Thanks, Mike B.
I can't begin to thank you enough for the mindset overhaul I received from reading this and other posts and materials which you guys at Renegade Marketing share with the rest of us.
It all started for me about 90days ago, after reading Ann Sieg's e-book. To this day, I will never regret making that choice. It was the best spent money in my whole life.
Unfortunately for me, I acted like such a "Newbie" and got so hung up on getting the show on the road as fast as I could that I missed the point completely. I went on chasing the "best next" thing and came down in flames.
I painfully admit that I was in Renegade Professional a couple of months ago, but got caught in that awful vacuum that sucks in unsuspecting "newbies" that follow no plan and freeze in the glare of "hype"...
Well, enough of that...when you hit rock bottom, there's only one way to go, and that's UP.
Your friend in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico,

Hi Eric - thank you for the eye opener. When I became an affiliate about 2 yrs ago I thought then and I think now that Renegade is a great product. I was what you would call an newbie then and now I hope I am a smart beginner.
When I purchased the Renegade product I thought, "this is it!!', the perfect product to market--but I gave up because I just didn't know how to begin.
I am once again struggling with how to move forward--what to start with first--what do I market--how do I market--when do I start a website and the list just goes on! My email box fills up so fast with messages from Ann S., Mike K, Mark H., Becky J. and there is so much info (and some duplicated) that I am completely overwhelmed. I don't know which one to read first.
I know with any new business that it takes time and patience to build a viable, strong, long term business to complete the dream that many of us wish for. I have signed up with the Renegade University and I can see that the RenPro will probably be the next step.
I am looking forward to the "Smart Beginners" webinars to hopefully help me in moving forward. I was with you last Thursday when you had the connection problems so I look forward to this week for "The More Than Content Creation- What Do you actually say in your marketing" on Feb 25th.
Just a side note--I am confused with all the emails I have received so I hope the above webinar is the one for smart beginners because my confirmation email for the webinar came from Ann S.
Looking forward to the future - thanks Dot
Thanks everyone! I'm starting - hopefully as a Smart Beginner - this new phase of my life. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm taking the steps, taking actions that are Smart. I also look forward to reading others' comments.
Eric, Many many thanks for a great post. I have been in the network marketing industry (you know the old belly to belly marketing) for about ten years now. We have made some money and we have lost more than SOME money.
I came aboard Renegade Professional about six months ago and the training in there is just awesome. Even tho I have been around a while it has taken me a while to learn just how to go about getting everything into focus.
Coming from the old school, this attraction marketing is sometimes a little hard to get a hold of but with a little patience, perserverance, dedication , and determination I feel sure that I am making the swing from newbie to a smart beginer
You have just made my future picture look ever so clear. I hope everone will be able to see the difference between a newbie
(Not Everything Will Be Immediately Explained) And a Smart Beginner.
Thanks again Jay
Hi Eric,
4 years ago I was looking for instant gratification and short term goals and I then consider myself a NEWBIE. After reading the 7 Lessons a couple of times and consuming every word on it, I began saying to myself that its time to settle down, come willing to work and be patient and know that everything will come into place.... After paying $400 for another company offering online marketing training, I can say that RPRO is the best choice for smart beginners and I would like to consider myself one today.....a SMART BEGINNER.....
It is comforting to know that that I'm not the only one around with the notion of the newbie. I'm looking forward to this series with the hopes that I will to be able to make a difference in others lives as you are so gracious providing here.
When I first became an RP, I definitely saw the value of the training. I'd never before seen such a huge amount of training in one spot before. My excitement was peaked. But somewhere along the way I let myself become distracted by this and that and the other thing...
Thinking I needed more than what is provided RP was an unwise decision. I was being a "newbie" and didn't realize it. I need to adjust and start to be a Smart Beginner. I like what Jay Pierce did with the word, Newbie (an acronym).
I am really looking forward to the Thursday webinars. It's time to refocus!
I'm SO EXCITED about the Thursday night trainings!! It's taken me a while to get from "newbie" to "SMART BEGINNER," and now that I'm finally on the STRAIGHT PATH, my focus is set and I'm READY TO GO!
Thanks, Eric!!
Eric,
I have been in RP for two months now and started down that long road. I didn't join looking for overnight sucess cause I take a realistic look at things. Nothing comes without some solid effort and time especially a sucessful business. I joined to make money of course, but most of all tired of all the HYPE on internet out there now. Want to be able to help others learn to earn too. Remembering To Pay It Forward will return so much more in the end. THANKS AGAIN!!
Hi Eric
I have read your artical a few times but have never left a comment, even though I thought it to be great! Your genuiness shines through and I feel completely gratful that I have found and joined the Renigade System. I have been workng on changing my money mindset for some time now and it was this that led me towards the Renegade community,therefore I know I am on the right road! I feel I have always been a smart beginner because it stands to sense that you need to learn both skills and the ropes of any business before you can make money.Giving value you cannot help but to recieve this back in one form or another. Positive thinking and having the right mind set is all well and good but it must be balanced up with self effort and knowledge . I am a slow learner and need to watch, listen and read quite a few times before the penny drops, so to speak. One of the many attribtes of the Renegade is you can takes things at one's own pace. Gratful Thanks to you and all who have put effort in giving an abundance of value for those of us who need guidance.
Hi Eric and everyone,
I just find it so encouraging to be with a group of people who understand that we cannot have a successful business until we learn how to market. It has taken me 9 years to find you like-minded people. Thank you so much Eric for providing training for us Smart Beginners.
Cheers,
Helen
