Alina, We've probably all been there. Unfortunately that advice can be hard to follow in bad economic times because you have to put food on the table. Brad Shorrs last blog post..How to Write a Business Letter

That really sounds like great marketing advice! Doing what you love is extremely important. If you're doing something that's ok, or a pain, or you don't entirely believe in, things will go from bad to worse no matter how hard you try.

Brad, Whilst I am not a sales and marketing professional, the advice which I read about ten years ago is probably the best general sales and marketing advice ever given: "If you want to persuade John Brown to buy, first, you must see through John Brown's eyes."

Cath, Selling when you're not into it is very difficult, very draining. Sorry you had to go through that experience, but I'll bet you never repeat that mistake. Brad Shorrs last blog post..What Do You Want Me to Write About?

Hi Brad - I guess it was probably,concentrate 90% of your efforts on marketing. But as you say, you've got to choose the things you love doing too. I can remember torturing myself and wasting time because a well meaning friend said i had to do telesales to make money. It was bad advice, as I hated doing it and it definitely wasn't the best marketing advice I've had. Cath Lawsons last blog post..YOU Have Never Been More Powerful

Ulla, Thanks for sharing your story. I must have taken real courage to write in English, but see? It paid off! If you're not afraid to make a mistake you accomplish just about anything. Brad Shorrs last blog post..What Do You Want Me to Write About?

Brad, there's one sentence in your post I like very much: you learn by doing. Don't read about it, don't consider it, just do it. We Germans have a lot to learn from you guys over the ocean there. Especially if we are academic people - we definitely do not believe in "just doing it". My own experience shows me, that you are absolutely right, and I am glad, that I just did it - writing my blog in English for example. So I think that's one of your posts which covers a theme in such ways that not only marketing people can profit from it! Thanks for sharing! Ulla Hennigs last blog post..Autumn Sky
