John Jantsch of  DuctTape Marketing wrote a recent post on Twitter and small business ([http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/2009/03/31/all-tweet-and-no-cattle/](http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/2009/03/31/all-tweet-and-no-cattle/)). His main point is that small businesses should get the basics of business in place before chasing the latest hot idea or fad. I have to agree! Execution is essential in effective marketing. No matter how clever the strategy or idea, it's usually consistency and persistence that gets business results. I think human beings want to imagine there's a magical way to get results. And, the latest fad or technology gets annointed as "The Answer." Do you find yourself running around chasing the latest big thing? Or, do you have a system for doing the boring things that will make a difference for your business? ![Clarke Bishop](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/30c5817509b3ae466d34dff08a3e72e8) [Clarke Bishop](http://www.inboundteam.com/blog/author/clarke-bishop) More Leads ♦ More Sales ♦ More Visibility ♦ More Fun ♦ Marketing & Sales Results Find me on: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/InboundTeam) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/clarkebishop) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/InboundTeam) [Inbound Team](http://www.inboundteam.com/) is **Georgia's Digital Marketing Agency** specializing in helping businesses grow through inbound and digital marketing.
