For me it was keeping a client happy and then always saying yes to introductions that would eventually be made. Even if the project wasn't a good fit I'd say yes to the meeting just to build a connection and hopefully point the pe

I ran a successful consulting company where ~90% of our revenue came from professional networking. If you want something from people (like a job, their time or their money) then you should probably build trust and a connection with those pe

What if we had a way to signify that an article or a publication meets a certain set of journalistic standards (sourcing, fact checking, no opinions, etc.), such that violating those standards would result in a fine. Then it might be easier

Huge pet peeve of mine is when writers use analogies to describe technology or science instead of writing what actually happened. I think I read somewhere once, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well en

Keep in mind that "super simple" usually also means "easily reproduced". The dream of cranking out a profitable SaaS offering in a weekend is possible, it's just not sustainable past a year or two unless you also in

Correct, neither is good, but IMO individual targeting is worse because the potential for accountability is less. It requires every individual to complain. In group targeting, only a few in the group need to know something is wrong and they
