Both Sides of the Table

'I have a motto in business and life, “give before you get.” It’s a philosophy, really. And it applies to business relationships & networking as much as it does to remuneration in the workplace. It seems we live in an era of “ask.” I see it on Twitter. Lots of asking. I see it on email even more. And in person in spades.

Entrepreneurs who embrace the “lone wolf” approach usually live to regret it.

'Sportscasters are dolts. Either that or they need some new material. Almost every time a team – any team – wins a big game, someone in the glorified peanut gallery will say, “They wanted it more,” as if desperation is the key to success. Wrong. So wrong. Wanting is for weaklings. It’s like hoping, or wishing, or even begging. When you want something really badly it means you don’t have it, and you’re hoping you will get it.
This is going to be BIG.

'I''ve had two entrepreneurs I know in the last week come to this same conclusion. Despite the fact that they''re great sales founders, selling isn''t actually their job. Being the sole salesperson on your team, no matter how good you are, isn''t scalable. You need to figure out what it is that you do to sell, the scripts you know by heart that you never wrote out, the way you get a feel for which customers are warmer than others, and find a way to teach it to others.

The jesters position was one within a the power structures of society. Rulers knew that their servants had neither the position or the courage to drop a truth bomb or two, and so this role was outsourced to the local fool.

'When trying to start a new business, the last thing you want is for a typo in your painstakingly crafted materials to stand between you and potential funding. One of the first and best investments you can make is hiring an editor to look over all of your materials before potential investors and other important people see them. It doesn’t matter if you consider yourself to be a good writer; even copywriters have someone else proof their work before it goes live or is published.

'I’ve spent the better part of the last 10 years telling any small business owner that would listen that marketing isn’t really that complicated. What’s complicated and frustrating about marketing perhaps is how small business owners and those that work in the field of marketing think about it. Marketing is just a system and, operated as such, it isn’t any different from many of the other systems needed to run a business.
