Professional Speaker or Just Pitchman?
Have you dealt with a seminar speaker who made you angry? Plenty of “public speakers” out there are amazing at what they do. They inspire, motivate and educate you. But a few douchebags ruin it for those of us who try to deliver value. If you are a speaker take notice. Don’t treat your audience like a room full of wallets. Stop making us stand up, scream shit out loud or say YES 20 times before you try to get them to sign up to... [Read More...]

Do you understand saturated markets?
It occurred to me today that people use the term “saturated market” very loosely. If you do a little research (Wikipedia) you will learn what market saturation really is. The term is used to define a product that has hit the diffusion point in a marketplace. The best examples here would be the refrigerator, automobiles and even the famous George Foreman grill. These products are saturated because the majority of households that need these products... [Read More...]

The closer those two personalities get, the more authentic you become. Justin struggles with... [Read More...]
