Of course, I’ve pivoted my book already. Pivoting, for those not in the “know” when it comes to startup lingo, is when you regroup and change course because the original idea isn’t working. When I set out to write my book ( previous post about it ) the theme was going to be something like this: In order to be an effective marketer today, you have to a) embrace startup culture in order to be nimble and effective enough to keep up with the consumer, and b) you have to make

Or you may be time strapped and therefore believe brevity is a virtue.
