It's Not What You Know or Who You Know, It's...

...who knows you.

I know it's important to learn all you can about doing business online. It's also important to know who's most likely to be helpful to you. However, if that's all you know, you're missing a very important element of your future success.

You need to know that those who know you can make or break you! While it's great when everybody loves you, that doesn't mean you'll be successful. In fact, the quality of your enemies is a surer measure of your future success.

Hopefully, those who hate you will all be fools:

"When a true genius appears in this world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." -- Jonathan Swift

Sincerely,
Vince Runza
P.S. It's tough, being a genius. For one thing, all the dunces hate that you contradict them in a way that proves they're idiots. No, really!

    From one Vince to another...well said.

    Truth is....haters exist to hate. That's their job.

    If you'se handed them a free pass to heaven on the day of the apocolyse....you'd still find haters pissed off they had to sit in coach rather then first class. True.

    Like comedian Katt Williams said so well....."If you'se only 7 peeps hatin' your ass.....your goal should be gettin' 10 more..."

    Anyone universally loved.....doesn't hold much power in my book...cuz it tells me they present themselves in a way that is warm and fuzzy to the entire population....aka...fake.

    Be yourselves Warriors.....and when the dust settles......what you have left in terms of friends and or followers is at least real.

    Those who do have integrity and honor. Those who don't.....live life via a smoke and mirrors gimmick.

      Hey Vince,

      This is so true, doesn't matter what type of business you're
      in.....

      As they say - "Keep your friends closer and keep your enemies
      even closer"

      It's also vital to learn how to network. it's such a vital ingredient
      to your success that I'm surprised that they don't teach these
      techniques from an early age.....

      I must admit that I struggle with this from time to time....I
      guess life is too hectic....

      Regards

      Greg

      Then I guess I should be happy that I tick a lot of people off.
