I wrote this email 12 years ago… It is a great reminder for me, and it is quite apropos for you. Even though you may not be in marketing, you may not have a sales letter… but you have me, and I could be your Big Kahuna… So here is the email:
You Suck
Some people get lucky.
Most people I know want to avoid a situation where they can look bad. I know I do.
These are the ones that stagnate.
Then some of those people get lucky and get a mentor who pushes them… pushes them to be more, do more, have more…
Sounds good, right? Let me tell you, it sucks. It sucks big time.
