Who are you called to serve? The answer to this question should be at the very heart of your marketing message. When I went to business school and studied marketing, the biggest takeaway I learned was that those who are intimately aware of their clients’ needs are the ones who become the best marketers and reach the most people. I expand on this concept even more in the short video below.

Today, the S&P 500 was down nearly 2% at its low point, but it stormed a late comeback to finish positive. This sort of move has happened on 121 other occasions since 1970, or 1% of all days.
