From the top to the bottom

From the top to the bottom

Mark, in the comments below, says he can imagine me doing "one of those "Mad Ken's Crazy Prices!" type ads on the telly ;-)"

Those ads always work which is interesting. Every now and then someone comes up with the "You sound like a used car salesman" comment.

More a reflection on my enthusiastic and untrained writing style than the way I dress (that's what I hope anyway! Gotta buy me some less colourful ties.).

In all of the surveys the used car salesman is always at the bottom of the list of "Most trusted person in the community."

Along with my philosophy of if I can do it, any person cam make it in business, I'll share shortly what I did for work before getting into this business 7 years ago.

Here's the hint: It's usually at the top of the "Most Trusted Occupation/Person in the community."

First person (who doesn't know me) who emails me (brendon@tailored.com.au) with the correct answer wins a prize - "Growing A Business" by Paul Hawken (one of my favourite business books).

Cheers

"Growing A Business" by Paul Hawken is one of your favorite books? Mine too! I especially enjoy the thumbing-of-nose that he takes on traditional education versus actual hands-on working. I've thought this way for some time (since before I dropped out of university to start my business), and it is fresh to learn that some truly successful businessmen feel the same way.

I can't say I'm surprised that you were a nurse though, Brendon. Long-time nurses tend to be amateur psychologists and practicing empaths; two traits invaluable to a marketer.

Take care!

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm just writing up a list (with short notes) on my favourite 14 books. That one is at the top. One of those I keep coming back to read year after year.

I'll be shooting out the link to the list in the newsletter shortly (tomorrow).

Thanks again Frank.

Brendon, I didn't mean my comment to be disrepectful; I meant it as less of a reflection of your writing style, but more of a reflection of your enthusiasm... and also to take the mickey out of you ;-)

That's how I took it (as friendly and tongue in cheek). Always hard when writing to get the fun across.....but you did!

Cheers Big Ears - just kidding. I have no idea how big your ears are ;-)
