We all know that, isn't it? But the most common issue among marketing pros is not having enough time to get things done efficiently. And that's exactly why we use tools and sites that help us get things done quickly and brilliantly.

Thank God for technology!!!

Thank God for technology!!!   The pressure to be always present these days is overwhelming, both as a #smallbusiness owner and a parent. How do you tweet all day? FB update continuously? Post to every social platform out there?  The answer is...you don't. Well, you do.
