Influence Ecology / John Patterson

Lots of room to compete at the top

We assume that the competition at the top is so very fierce, that we don't attempt to go for it. It seems as if the common man would rather not find out he can't compete and stay safely in middle where they can fantasize about their potential.

Who is your product for?

There is a common fallacy with entrepreneurs when it comes to marketing a product: they attempt to go too broad. In other words, they have a notion that if they cast their net wide, they will "catch more fish".

Why are you confused about our agreement?

Nothing slows down a transaction like the swirl left in the absence of an agreement. Nothing speeds up a transaction like the clarity brought about by a written agreement.
