No Plan, No Direction, No Success

Book Review of “Meatball Sundae” by Seth Godin

If you’re like me, the thought that first might occur to you is that “Meatball Sundae” is an odd name for a marketing book.  Being a big Seth Godin fan, I was sure the book would be worth the read, and I was not disappointed. I don’t think you will be either…I highly recommend you…
