“In an increasingly digital age, it’s inspiring and gratifying to see so many young and old businesses grabbing hold of the opportunities that come from word-of-mouth marketing. It shows that if you’re prepared to get up early and make it work for you by committing to giving as much as gaining, you can create real success of your business.”
