Meditate. Making You a More Effective Marketer is the LEAST it Will Do
Alan Watts: he’s my favorite guy – reading his thoughts and feelings on almost any topic will make you a better and more well-rounded person.

Innovate or Imitate? The Answer Might Surprise You.
A WHOLE LOT of new marketer’s problems can be traced back to low self-esteem. When you aren’t sure what you’re doing, you tend to want to overcomplicate things… and overcompensate for your lack of previous success by over-delivering and knocking everything you do out of the park.

I Hate Spammers.
Don’t put people on your mailing list without their permission. This entire idea is HOT GARBAGE! “The muppets needed to find other sources of income once they realized they’d all been screwed out of their retirement funds by the Count.” I keep getting emails from marketers who I have never seen, have never contacted before. They don’t have any …
