A Doodle And A Dream: How McFarlane Turned Spawn Into A Success
“In all honesty, I wouldn’t say that the business end of it came with any kind of ease,” says McFarlane. “It was more Darwinian.

If you’re a bad businessperson and you’re an entrepreneur, you’re going to be out of business.” Drawing had always been his passion, but not once did McFarlane consider it a career choice. That is, until an injury forced him to reexamine his life. How did this young man with nothing but a dream in mind and a doodle in hand become the success he is today?

How to Create Great Word of Mouth

Is Creativity an airy fairy notion or an absolute requirement for the small businessperson
I admire artists and poets. But I say to you that a peak creative effort is to envision something in business, to say it's going to happen when no-one else can see it, and then make it happen according to your vision. You may not get mentioned in the same breath as Rembrandt or Mozart. Your friends or your spouse may take your creativity for granted. But you can't make a small business work without it. This note is to ask you to examine your own creative force, and give you some tips on calling on it when you need it.

Linear step-by-step sales scripts have done a lot to give selling a bad name. Not because they don’t “work”, actually some people who use cold calling scripts actually do make some sales. The problem is even if you’re a good-hearted businessperson, scripts make it almost impossible for you to avoid sounding like a “salesperson.” This is a serious problem because most people respond to a sales agenda with something like, “Uh oh, I’m about to be sold something. How fast can I get this person off the phone?” If we turn away from the artificial beginning of a sales script, and approach cold calling in a different way, then we’re likely to get different responses.
