Over the years I have written down various quotes in my little black notebook that have just come to me in random, serendipitous moments. All of which have to do with business and all of which apply to online marketing. This post is the first of many where I will share those with you. Sprinkled within are also quotes from various famous people that I felt were so insightful that I wrote them down as well.
