“If marketing is taking up 1/3 of your revenues or more, something is wrong. Yes you’ve gotta get the word out about your products and services, especially if you’re in a saturated market. But your products and services should attract customers like pollen attracts honeybees. The value of what your business offers should be a magnet to customers. You shouldn’t be chasing after customers begging them to do business with you.” — Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr
