I’m totally agree with most your article, but a word of caution would be beneficial. Waking up early is supercool for all of the reasons you listed above. If you can jump out of the bed every morning working on goals is truly life changing. But that can lead to burnout easily.

Be Thankful For Those Who Didn’t Help You
Instead of hating those who refused to help you when you needed it most, be thankful for them. They are the reason that you learnt how to depend on God and now all things are possible for you. And do note that If you want God to promote you, then never treat those who are under you…

This is one the biggest benefits of running your own businesses:
You get to choose who you spend your days with; your clients, partners, colleagues, employees, etc.
You can choose to walk away from toxic people. Life is too short to spend your days around people who make you feel miserable.

Resources are always what we need in order to achieve something.
Everybody needs something, whatever it might be you will need resources. So what you do when you are born in a place with no resources? You develop resourcefulness.
Nice post Victoria. Collaboration tools — texting, Evernote, Slack and Snapchat — have dramatically reduced my need to use email. I have found that organizations, and professionals, are increasing open to other, quicker forms of communication. In my case, just asking the question, and being open to whatever preference the client has, is a very…

The government is to the edge of declaring a cut in the UK rate of VAT from 17.5 percent to 15 percent — a movement supposed to own a profound effect on the total UK market. The result may be deep — but not the most one. It can in fact lead into collapse of the numbers of businesses and the…

I think there is some truth in what you say about disruption. Corporates tend to respond with price wars, and as you say, this approach never works. You have to come up with something innovative. I also think that consistently innovating and dedicating resources for innovation or R&D is crucial — this doesn’t happen enough.
A personal brand is more to do with values or quality of a substance associated with the name or attractive photo than the name or image per say. And true, building a character of value or value in your proposition is not at all a few click affair for certain.

You left out a rather big rule: use images to grab reader attention. Otherwise they’ll just scroll past your post looking for something more interesting. There is an important corollary, however: do not use stock images; they’re virtually invisible because readers have seen them so many times before. They also say something negative about your post: “This image was an afterthought.”

Creating value should be your objective.
We are inundated with products and content every day. Producing the same or similar content gets you nowhere.
Your first concern is valid, small businesses are often tight on capital to use for marketing. Your second assumption, I believe, is not accurate.
Not many brands are uninterested in advertising/marketing. However, they may not be interested in your approach to advertising.
Influencer marketing is synonymous with social influence and juxtaposed to brand ambassadors/ celebrities and iconic figures. This leeway was offered by the ambassadors themselves, due to their own created theme of high pricing…
