There’s absolutely no requirement for you, as a business owner, to have a website.

However, don’t be surprised if you find yourself losing valuable customers to your competition, who DO have a website, who ARE easily visible, and will steal your target market, because – guess what – they don’t know you exist!

On this week’s episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren gives the lowdown on his enormous collection of Lego, and why having interests outside of business makes you just that – interesting!

Business owners in particular can sometimes be afraid of letting their personalities shine through, in case their hobbies aren’t seen as “acceptable” in the corporate world. But would you really want to work with people who criticise your passions in the first place?
