Lesson #5: The Storm of Criticism Can and Must be Weathered
As Nike’s market share has continued to grow since the 1980s, so too has the amount of public criticism levied against the company’s business practices. Whether it is focused directly on Knight, who has become the public face and the lightening rod of the company in the media, or against the company in general, the criticism is more often than not harsh and unforgiving.

Lesson #2: Put a Little Magic into Your Thinking
When Rowling first approached publishers with her manuscript about a boy wizard, she was welcomed with a barrage of criticism. Many of those criticisms she could do little about. For instance, how could she make her story less fantastical when the very concept behind it was all about magic and wizardry?

After all, she knew success was often times much like a game; if you wanted to reach the end, you had to play by the rules.

Kelleher’s new Southwest Airlines offered drastically reduced fares and quickly became a hit with passengers.

Losing Sales - A Ridiculous Sales Habit You Need To Ditch
Have you ever been so EXCITED about something that you couldn't stop talking about it? I recently caught myself doing it!  I'm headed to France in a few months - spending a week in Paris and the remaining weeks in Provence. (I'm even taking cooking classes!) See....I just did it again! In my excitement - I'm talking about it. (Maybe a little obsessively!) And you guessed it lady, this is something YOU'RE probably doing too.
Enhancing Web Effectiveness With Audio Sound Design
The average person is exposed to an assault of stimuli each and every moment of our waking day. Some of this stimulus catches our attention, but much is filtered out as extraneous, useless, or unimportant. This filtering is our way of handling the constant barrage of information we endure. As marketers it is our job to cut through all the meaningless, random white noise of life and penetrate the consciousness of our targeted audience with our marketing messages.
The Power of Words
In a world so full of "me first" attitudes, it is no wonder we see so much turmoil and dysfunction in the world around us. The financial fiasco being played out on the national stage is evidence that something is seriously wrong. Day after day, words of disaster come at us from all directions; words that instill fear, panic and negativity. News of foreclosures, more bank failures, bail outs totaling billions of dollars...it is no wonder the confidence level of people in our country is the lowest it has been in 28 years. That has to change and it can if we commit ourselves to changing what "we think about" and "what we say" to ourselves and others!

How to make $10,000 a day, per 500-word email
Email marketing plays a very big role in what we do; it contributes significantly to our revenue and profits. Despite that, I've realized that no one really talks about email copywriting. The few people who do are Frank Kern, Yanik Silver, maybe some of the material contained in many email swipe files, but given its importance, not many people really talk about it enough. No one has actually quantified or qualified email copywriting as a way of making sales, nor as a category of study or to champion. I took a stab at actually trying to reverse engineer emails from some top email copywriters to see what kind of techniques they are using. Dan Kennedy and Michael Masterson, the head of Agora, have rated Matt Furey as the best email marketer in the world. He must be doing something right.

We are constantly inundated with a barrage of “news” from the media. It is complete and total overkill. Our daily lives are being bombarded with the daily stew of bad economic news served up by so called “experts” who all seem to have emerged “after the fact” giving us their interpretation of how things are bad and how they will get worse before they’ll get better. Who says? Where were these oracles when we needed them, ahead of the trend versus monday morning quarterbacking?
