Best advice ever: “You’ll never be ready. But you need to do it anyway because it’s the only way towards progress.”
This is great stuff… we are still learning how to integrate all the social media venues out there and find our target audience. I really like the advice you just gave here – “You’ll never be ready. But you need to do it anyway because it’s the only way towards progress.” Thats my new motto.
Thanks!
