Philosophy - What is marketing?

• the barriers to entry by which you eliminate the people that you do NOT want to deal with and

• the offer by which you make yourself irresistibly attractive to the people that you DO want to deal with.

Dan Sullivan – The Strategic Coach

“all the money that you need for the rest of your career is in the pockets of the people that you know and the people that they can introduce you to.”
