I was in negotiations with a talk radio network recently. We explored the possibility of producing a weekly talk show featuring Uncle Alan. We couldn’t come to terms, so the deal fell through.

Before negotiations were closed down, we spent a considerable amount of time time on the phone. The guy’s obviously forgotten more than I’ll ever manage to learn about the broadcasting business and I hung on every word. Despite his 35 years in the radio business, his business model, while flawed, didn’t fit the “dinosaur industry” image so often applied to over-the-air (terrestrial) radio.

Paul Lemberg believes in tiny steps.
These are not the baby steps everyone must begin with when starting a business or any serious venture. Paul’s a master of tiny steps, often totally overlooked by organizations of every size, in virtually any niche, that can easily add 15%, 25%, 50% or even more to the bottom line rapidly.
If you haven’t heard about Paul yet, you should listen up. Paul Lemberg started his first business with a partner and $3,000 of credit card debt. He went on to build the company to 92 people and sales on four continents.

The hammer’s come down on marketers. The FTC wrapped up 2009 by releasing new rules that take solid aim at nutritional supplement, business opportunity and Internet marketing practices.
