SUMMARY
Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur, an established small business, a social media influencer, a marketer at a large corporation—or somewhere in-between—the idea of being a “brand“ is considered essential to the development of a solid marketing strategy.

But what if it’s not?

Anyone good marketing books recommendations or online certifications?

Trying to get a 45 y/o sibling in to consulting (was an entrepreneur prior in the restaurant industry). No college degree but willing to bust his but to learn. Books/online courses recommended pls

I currently work in a hybrid sales/marketing role. However, I would love more experience in marketing specifically so I can move in to a marketing specific role. Does anyone have a suggestion of books or articles, podcasts, organizations to follow that will allow me to stay up to date on the latest trends but also help prepare for a marketing centric role? Thank you

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Hi folks, I am working with a few friends on a fintech idea. I opted to build the marketing roadmapping strategy for the soft launch/prototype phase as I want to learn about the field. Any guidance where should I start? Any guidance, books, topics will be helpful 😊

The GTM strategy at my company is not the best or strongest. Does anyone have any books, articles or suggestions on how to learn more about this topic? Marketing wise I feel like my team checks the boxes but every time we are getting for a launch it doesn’t hit the mark.

What’s the best book on entrepreneurship you’ve ever read?

I am currently working in advertising with experience on fintech & CPG. I would like to work in tech marketing, specifically Google’s APMM program.
I’ve been studying some PM/PMM books/podcasts/videos, attending Google events, and want to keep learning more to try to prepare myself as much as I can.
What resources helped you get into product marketing/Google?
Has anyone here moved from advertising to tech?
Would love to hear from a marketer about their experience getting into Google.
Thank you

Hiya! I was wondering if anyone here has any good recommendations in terms of books or learning material that I can pick up to learn about sales and marketing relevant to the consulting industry?

Good marketing/branding books to read?

Recent MBAs, can you share what marketing text books and themes were covered?

New to IT B2B marketing. Any advice on how to educate myself with IT? Any classes, books, etc. that you recommend?

I'm thinking about starting something, but I want to be well versed in entrepreneurship before I do. Any recommended resources (websites, podcasts, books, etc.)? Thanks!

Any entrepreneurs out there that feel like there’s a million things no one told you before starting your company? (Good&Bad) 5 years in myself and nearly could write a book with my list of sh*t no one told me… curious to know what’s on your list???

Someone reached out to me on LinkedIn about becoming an author on the side. Has anyone heard about such a thing?!? The person said she’s worked with 800 consultants writing their books and marketing it for them.

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Any suggestion for good books on entrepreneurship? Trying to gather insights and motivate myself to finally working for myself.

Hi!
I have recently accepted a job with a company that doesn't have a great reputation, but means a great opportunity. Today, another company (which also represents a good opportunity, the role is a better fit, and has a great culture) has reached out to discuss compensation.

Is it too wrong to break my contract with the first company to take the opportunity in the second one if I ended up liking their offer?

I won't start in company A until next month, but I have signed the contract already.

Hey everyone, a friend of mine and I are looking to start a company, we’re both sick of the corporate world right now and working 80+ hours per week for someone else.
I’m a 2nd year analyst in Tech M&A Investment Banking and she’s a 2nd year associate consultant in Tech Private Equity.
We have some ideas but aren’t technical so we’re looking for a potential technical co-founder to join up with and either create an idea and build something together or join up on existing idea in process!

I am an aspiring entrepreneur and want to start a business in future for sure. I have a few ideas but nothing concrete, or close to being a start up yet. I work in tech, but a generalist - have done sales, delivery operations etc. trying to get experience in as many areas as possible before I go on my own. I dnt know where to start the journey. Are their any books or other material I can read/reference to think and plan about my entrepreneurship journey. I m in mid 40s based in t2 city US east.

I’m seeing some concerning red flags in my company. Namely people jumping ship, slowing sales and a declining culture and work ethic. Is it crazy to be searching for a new job in a similar role in this environment?

If my long term goal is to be a early stage operator, is it better to start my career in SWE or Product Management?

Can anyone recommend a good freelance digital marketing expert in the US?

Any tips and tricks for someone starting a partnership consulting agency? We will sell full suite packages for newly opened businesses.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a resource for finding queer founders?

I just started a trucking company looking for funding as well as my startup real estate company looking for some extra money or advice or willing to take over a small apartment complex 10-20 units

Started a service business and first client is ready to pay. Filed LLC already but likely going to be a week or two before we get our EIN and can set up a business bank account. Is it ok to receive the money in a personal account then transfer to our business account once we get it? Any potential issues or alternatives I should be aware of?

Can someone explain a what it means when a startup receives Series E funding, like I’m 5 years old? I’m not understanding anything Google is telling me. Interviewing with one tomorrow. Currently work at a FAANG. Is it stupid for me to move from FAANG to a Series E startup? Thanks!

Stumbled across this bowl after building out an idea for a new company over the weekend. Not a whole lot to offer just yet other than to say and that I’m pretty excited about it.

Does anyone know of any fellowships or part time opportunities to help with transitioning into VC or getting exposure into VC? Preferably for early in career folks/recent graduates but open to any and all opportunities. Thanks!
