#579 Becoming a Small Business Owner by Accident

SEGMENT 1: Many of us become small business owners by accident. We never set out to be a small business owner, but along the way things happen that lead us down that path – we’re frustrated with our bosses, we get laid off, we want more control over our time, and so on. Accidental entrepreneur Marcus Babcock is here to share what he’s learned about running a business and which tools he would (and would not) use again to help him.SEGMENT 2: The good news about digital marketing is that you can easily find out what’s working and what’s not working, and you can know what the return is for the money spent.
