Hey Ryan,
I am new here just trying this out, but I wanted to say that I like your comments and sense of respect for people. I think as a very small business owner who has worked in a much larger music business as I was growing up with my parents that it is really important that people learn what they can before they go out to hire the big guns. No this isn't my business either but I am a marketer and have been in sales for a number of years.
I think that as a business owner you should really be connected to as much of the marketing element of your business as you can. No you can't possibly do it all as your business starts to grow but I do believe it's part of your growth as well as your continued growth. Hey thanks for your responses here I've gotten some good footing from them.
Scott
