Jeff Paul says ...
So much of what we hear is defensive or negative, how about something different this middle of summer / middle of August.
Jeff Paul is a mail-order guru, who quotes others he's learned from and shares a fistful of his own thoughts;
- Don't Apologize Or Make Excuses For Being Truly Excellent At What You Do!
- "If the dogs are barking at your heels, you know you're leading the pack," Talmud said.
- When you strive to succeed, some people will not like it.
- When you strive to succeed, some people will talk about you.
- When you become successful, some people will criticize and complain about you.
- When you are successful, some people may decide not to like you anymore.
- Some competitors may get upset with you about your advertising.
- Some competitors may get upset with you about those hard-hitting reports!
- These are definite signs that your marketing is working.
- Can you handle envy, criticism, and competitors who snipe at you?
- Will you apologize for demonstrating precision and excellence?
- Will you turn tail and run for the hills??? We hope not!
And then Paul says . . . "Please take this little reminder as a guide to one of the troubling areas in life:"
Unsuccessful and petty people
try to drag down successful,
or soon-to-be successful, people.

We just want you to be prepared. And mature enough to handle it, by basically ignoring it.
That's a fact of life I've faced and continue to face. But, I don't care what others think. I'm interested in what my clients/customers/patients think!
I just wanted to warn you. Being a successful marketer brings resentment from small thinking people. And, since there are so many small thinkers, you're bound to run into them now and again.

Anonymous
A statement from Anonymous made with the business world in mind.
Take it to another level, and the same thought applies in each of our personal and family lives;
"No matter what industry you pick,
sales are still made one at a time,
and usually by one person helping another person
make the buying decision."
