What does an aspiring entrepreneur in a town of 2,000 learn? The importance of new customers!

Jared Gobler’s high school had 200 students. It also had a class in entrepreneurship. He used what he learned there as part-owner of a paintball company, handling administration and accounts and getting comfortable with the business side of entrepreneurship. When he started his own moving company, he says his focus was always “finding my next customer. That was my number 1 goal. All of that work was useless if I wasn’t finding a new customer to serve every time.” It worked then, and still does. Today, Jared is CEO of FG Marketing, a full-service digital marketing shop whose clients include high-dollar investment services, a luxury yacht builder, and a firm that researches exotic energy and aerospace solutions. They all have two things in common: They all want to find new customers, and they all trust Jared to help them do it.

Christopher Oosthuisen knows about efficiency. At 21, he runs four businesses, and was running them while he finished college (six months early). Chris says he learned about efficiency — “doing as little as possible to get from A to B” — beginning at the age of 14, on his way to becoming one of the world’s top handgun marksmen in his age class. He had to learn not only the discipline of the sport, but how to generate sponsorships ($60K per year), market himself and see himself as his own brand. Chris says the skills he learned translate seamlessly to business, and he created Svperhuman.com to let you use what he knows. Svperhuman shows you how incorporating systems and automation into your company removes monotony and allows you to focus on growth, saving money and improving customer experience.

Mikel Erdman isn’t your typical internet entrepreneur. He grew up on a family farm and a meat packing plant. In summers he worked on commercial fishing boats. It was hard-core, blue collar work, but he credits this, and his parents, who were always self-employed, with instilling his entrepreneurial mindset from birth. “I always liked to carve my own path,” he says. Mikel built his first digital marketing company alongside his mortgage business. His top advice for aspiring entrepreneurs? Find a need and fill it. That’s what he did 10 years ago with MySMARTblog, to improve online communications between busy real estate and mortgage professionals and their clients. Now he’s a published author and speaker on how technology can improve your results, and get more clients to choose you over your competitors.

“I was kinda lazy in high school,” Ken Fleisher admits. “I was very good at procrastination.” Things began to change when he was in college and the stakes were higher. He started using checklists and a calendar to get organized. More responsibilities meant he needed better tools, like David Allen’s book, “Getting Things Done.” But Allen’s method isn’t easy to go all-in on. So Fleisher, a commercial photographer and color scientist, created his own method for organization, changed his life, and started offering it to people like us. It’s called Cherry Task, and Ken says it’s “a holistic approach to productivity that is simple, sustainable, effective and invisible.” Oh, and he also knows a thing or two about starting a business.

Funny story: Choozle didn’t start as the gang of digital advertising geniuses it is today. It was just an advertising unit of a site called “cuterpets.com” — kind of a HotOrNot for pets. (People did the voting, though.) In fewer than eight years Choozle has earned dozens of top awards and rankings, including the No. 48 spot in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 for 2018. Branden Miller, Choozle’s vice president of sales, explains how programmatic media works; why it should matter to you, whether you’re a brand or agency; and why even the bigs don’t try to do all their marketing grunt work in house. Watch with your pet. Then vote!

Jeremy Jones will be happy to tell you what to do; not because he’s a control freak. He tells you what to do so you can tell other people what to do. That’s why he created Jones Media Publishing, a top-rated book publisher for experts. Along the way, he discovered some things, about himself and about how to grow a business. And some of them may surprise you — things like, don’t grow too fast; don’t become too focused on your business; give some of your product away. If any of those go against your principles, listen to Jeremy first. He can tell you what works ... because it worked for him.

Here’s the truth: You're brand isn't really yours. It’s created in the minds of others. It's how they perceive you; how you appear to them. So if you want to improve your brand, you have to improve that appearance. And who better to help you think differently about your appearance than a stylist? Phillip Robert Holmes puts a stylist’s spin on using digital marketing to influence your brand. Because it’s not just about who you are — it’s about who they see when they look at you.

The tools available to you for digital marketing are, compared to even just a few years ago, pretty mind-blowing. But like any tool, how well they work depends on: 1) How you use them,  and, 2) What you need them to do. Just because somebody has all the bells and whistles doesn’t mean they ought to be blowing and ringing them 24-7. 

Brian Barrett, managing partner of Oak Creek Trail, is perfectly willing to tell a client, “Yeah, that’s a really cool thing that you don’t need right now,” and explain to them why. Does your marketing consultant do that? Listen to Brian and judge for yourself if your marketing dollars are going toward what will do you the most good
