Marketing Vs. Advertising

Marketing is not advertising: not anymore. There was a time when the two went hand in hand. Many think it still does, but that's wrong.

Seth explains it as follows. When developing a "thing", you can create it and then search for costumers for that "thing". Or, you can find a problem that affects people, and then create a solution. 

He uses the analogy of a lock and key. One can create a key and run around looking for the keys lock, or one can find a lock and craft a custom key for that lock. 

Mindset shift: One doesn't market to get rich; one markets to make productive change.
