Rule the barnyard....
 

Hi Gordon,

I always wondered about the real secret behind HIKUTA from 7 Steps to Freedom II.... :)

Ben Suarez's six page letter (from 7STFII) had me drooling to find out the secret!

Thanks Gordon for sharing the secret of Hikuta!

Yes, it's true....

Specialization.... Specialization.... You'll rule the barnyard, if you specialize....

(From the Marilyn Monroe movie, Let's Make Love....)

The best PAID jobs tend to be jobs for SPECIALISTS.... Specialist doctors make more than general practitioners.... University researchers, who are more specialized, make more than high school teachers....

I guess it makes sense that this could carry over into business in some way too. I hadn't thought of that!

Gordon, thanks, you're getting my mental juices flowing! Great post, hope you like the reply.... Now I'm going to THINK about this more so I can GROW.... :)
