Every entrepreneur should watch this movie at least three times. I watched Cool Hand Luke on TV the other night.

Sponsoring is perceived as a good thing. When you sponsor an event, community group or cause that your prospects like - they are more likely to like you.

The next questions are, “What should you sponsor?” and “How do you know if you are getting a good return on your sponsorship?”

Your Database: Your Most Valuable Asset!
Your most valuable asset is not the money in your bank account. Your most valuable asset is what you know about your customers - because that will lead to more money in the bank. Money in the bank is good.
