Just received "Anthem" this week from Amazon, so can't wait to tackle that one too. Anyway, great message Dan - made me think of an analogy Nightingale once used: Some people go through life expecting something for nothing... like they expect heat to emenate from the fireplace before they put in wood! Such is the nature of most people... Peace, DB Spoken like a true John Galt, Dan :-)

I know a bunch of people who go to seminars, buy all the products and read a bunch of stuff about marketing... but they still haven't "let the curtain go up on their show" by actually getting started. I also know some folks who studied marketing a little and went to a seminar or two and then hung out their shingle online as an "expert" copywriter. Studying the theory is great... but you don't become an expert by reading about it... only by DOING it. Thanks for sharing this, Brandon. DD There's a HUGE lesson here.

The hundreds (probably more like thousands) of hours studying was good preparation, but it wasn't until I actually started pushing forward that I realized how little I actually know about marketing. If you haven't started on your biggest goal yet, you have no idea what challenges lie ahead of you. But with those challenges also come the biggest opportunities of your life.
