hey man… peace!
Anyone at the Jason Mraz concert last night understands what it takes to accumulate 1000 true fans.
Just before his last song of the evening, Jason hummed and hawed through a few parting words. Lost among the Toronto shout outs was a simple phrase that struck a chord.
It’s a pretty cool thing to acknowledge that someone […]
1 out of 10
Since the beginning of time, the rule has been 1 in 10. For every 10 contacts you make, 1 ends up being a customer.
Hold that thought.
When I dine out, I generally tip 15%. I don’t reward servers for being above average. I don’t punish them for being a little off. About 1 in 10 times […]
it’s never a girl!
For fun. Thanks Stef.
your best
Seth recently blogged about what gets done differently when the Pope is in town. The ship runs a bit tighter. The smiles stetch a bit wider. And so on.
Instead of saving your best for the occasion that just happens to happen to you, why not save your best for the occasion that’s begging for something […]
the benefit of the doubt
Give it to everyone until they’ve un-earned it. What is there to lose?
If a customer rips into you (the rude way) - then they don’t have management training. This doesn’t mean they don’t have a valuable insight for you. It’s your job to extract it from the rubble.

about
Someone who talks a lot, listens a lot, sings on the streets and loves big ideas. If you need a discipline or two for piece of mind, try Marketer and Entrepreneur. If you need a title to legitimize why you'd waste your time here, I can't help you. I work with people on fire for the businesses they love.
