P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"Hi, I'm Sydni Craig-Hart with smartsimplemarketing.com. I am a marketing coach and consultant. And I work with businesses of all sizes, but, mainly, I work with small businesses who are looking to attract more clients to their business and increase their revenue. So for example, if you think about any business in your town-- a dry cleaners, or maybe a graphic designer, or someone who has a landscaping business-- of course, they need clients and people to work for in order to generate revenue. So I help them figure out exactly what action they should take each day, so they can get more clients, and make more money, and increase their business size. I don't have a college degree. I actually took some classes at community college and that was kind of as far as I got. So don't think that you have to have all of these credentials behind you to be a successful business person. But I have always been interested in small business. I'm actually a fourth generation entrepreneur back to my great grandparents. And so entrepreneurship is kind of in my blood. And after I graduated from high school, I worked in corporate America for about 11 years, and took that as far as I could go, and then decided to launch out on my own. And I first started out as a marketing assistant. So I was the technician that would create blogs, and email campaigns, and all of the technical stuff that actually goes behind executing a marketing plan. And eventually, that led to consulting, and coaching, and so that's what I focus on now. One thing I want you to take away from this chat that you and I are having right now is that you have incredible potential. You're smart, and you're talented. And you have so much that you can contribute to the world. And instead of worrying about what people are going to think, or being scared, or holding yourself back because of worrying about all of these external forces, focus on doing what you love, and serving people, and making a good living at that. I guarantee you that whatever you're good at, and whatever you enjoy, there's a way for you to create a business around that if you want or find a job that lets you pursue that passion. So don't go through life making decisions based on what other people think, or what other people want you to do. Follow your heart, and follow your passion, and follow your dreams, and don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't achieve them because you have everything in your already, right now, in order to accomplish what it is that you want.
