Influence Ecology / John Patterson

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.

Have you scheduled your freedom?

My calendar is my road map to the fulfillment of every ambition I can imagine - including play, recreation, romance and doing nothing.
