No special insight, Dien.
I"m familiar with the "placemat style" ad program, so I understand the benefits to all the parties.
I like the long term view, too.
From my experience, there are some subtle changes, that would make this program much more valuable to the advertisers
the university and the program creator.
Unfortunately, as my posts are being deleted these days, there's no sense in going into a lot of detail.
Also, while "mindset" is important, people are more inclined to judge you by your "actions".
What you "do" speaks louder to them, than what you say, i.e. underpromise but overdeliver.
Just my observations.
Thanks again, Dien.

Hi Ron,
That's a great connection... I didn't see that.
I was in a chat about entrepreneurship about a week ago...
I said, whatever I do, I try to do it in a way that's "WIN/WIN"...
If it's not "WIN/WIN" I'm not interested...
Why?
It's a long term view...
Sure, maybe I can do a "win/lose" type of deal - where I win, and the other guy loses. But they'll never want to deal with me again...
I'd rather make money over, and over, and over... Rather than just once...
These things are all "WIN/WIN"... Whether the restaurant placemat deal, or the postcard deal...
That's what makes them great...!!!
By the way, I think people can detect your "mindset"... Certainly, smart, successful people can. It's not hard to tell if someone has a "WIN/WIN" mindset... or a "screw you" type of mindset...
If they know you're a "WIN/WIN" type of person, they'll be happier to work with you... And use their resources. Their money, their intelligence, their contacts!
And... that's valuable...
Okay, better get off the soapbox, before I slip... :)
Best wishes,
Dien
