This is why I read (and write) blogs:
Two kinds of people:
A business blog reader (book reader, seminar go-er) asks, "how can I do what I do better?"
Someone else says, "I'm doing fine, leave me alone."
It's not about criticism or the avoidance thereof. It's a thirst for insight, for shortcuts and for results.
If you're not making progress, you're moving backwards...
