Thanks for sharing, Glenn
But have you noticed what several marketing "gurus" today say about that last quote?
The one about not telling your friends your plans?
There are some "gurus" out there whose advice I generally respect...
...Until they start talking about how you should launch your new ideas & projects with your family and friends. Since, according to them, they
know, like and trust you
(By the way, that's part of why I love
Gordon Jay's report that explodes some of those nice-sounding myths)
Well-meaning friends could innocently be the WORST audience to pitch new projects to.
Not necessarily because they're "haters".
New projects will often require a newer version of you. A version of you that your friends may not see now (or even be comfortable with)
Or what do you think?
