Act like myself and I sell more. Try to be a sales person and scare people off.

I believe that we should all just be honest with ourselve about what we can do. But in the long run accept what we can’t. People will like you more for that than just being superficial.

Occasionally, I get frustrated when people just don’t catch the hook on transparency and ethics. The biggest challenge I face is having to speak to PR/Marketers… trying to convince them that we are also consumers on a daily basis. And I walk away wondering, why do I even have to convince them to begin with?
