Words of Wisdom: Inspiration for Marketers, Small Business Owners & Entrepreneurs

"Wise Bytes" was born from a collection of posts focusing on short pieces of marketing advice, memorable quotes, and words which uplift and inspire. With pages of scribbled phrases and messages piling up, it finally seemed time to compile them here as a series, with the goal of encouraging and motivating fellow marketers, brand promoters and small business owners.



I hope you find content here which sparks an idea, encourages community collaboration, and helps to build your brand. Please feel free to connect with me on the social channels listed at the end of this post, and share your comments or feedback with me on Facebook. Have a great week!


• The best content is genuine, sincere, and relatable.

• Saying "Yes, we can do that for you" opens doors & can be a winning strategy.

• Define your unique niche, local history or exceptional quality? Remember - what "sets you apart" is a distinguishing characteristic.

• "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." Jim Rohn

• Life tip; don't allow the stupid stuff to distract you from the goals.

• No matter what type of industry you serve, people are everything.

• Be grateful when people leave you glowing reviews. When your customers are the best advertisement, that's powerful stuff worth sharing.

• Take that first step, write down an outline, begin a new project today.

• No matter what type of industry you serve, people are everything.

• "What makes you different or weird, that's your strength." Meryl Streep

• Remember....no one judges ourselves as harshly as we do. Be kind to you.

• Don't allow yourself to become distracted by the stupid, petty things in life.

• Stick with your dreams.

• Don't wait for the big moments; focus on the everyday ones that make a difference.

• Anyone can start or contribute to local economic development, and I believe every entrepreneur should keep that in mind.

• Evaluate your message to the public. Are you conveying what your brand needs to say?

• “Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” Jim Rohn

• Attention to detail AND a unique story - those are details people love to know.

• Be informed so you can share news and trends with your clients.

• Never stop growing; find your niche and run with it!

• Stay consistent; use branded images, similar style and color scheme across all your networks.

• Entrepreneurs who have gone through challenging experiences - and who are generous enough to share their stories - are a wealth of knowledge and advice.

• The best marketing tool is still word of mouth.

• Your content should deliver value, each and every time. Provide helpful ideas, tips for best practices or an explanation of better actions anyone can take.

• Several of the most essential business components include integrity, professionalism and courtesy.

• Use real-life experiences to draw your readers into a story.

• "Business is all about relationships… how well you build them determines how well they build your business." Brad Sugars

• Keep in mind there is greater power in working together.

• Don't be afraid to share well-earned words of praise. One would not want to post such material too often and appear to be boasting, but mixed into your other content - once a week or so - is suitable.

• Make magic this week!
