It was transforming. I still read and refer to them. And recommend them to pretty much anyone - even if you don\'t do copy, it\'s wise to know what you\'re buying. So educate yourself.

So educate yourself.

The references are confirming that there are a few masters, and the rest are \"me too\" copy cats. Are the critics from other articles reading this article or have they skipped over it because it isn\'t jazzy and hip? What a wonderful article!

The effect is calming, exact and well-considered. Not to say that exciting, emotion-laden commentary is useless, but Drayton helps soothe the marketing beast-gone haywire. Thanks for all the great stuff. Keep it coming! Brandon Texas Clayton,

Read everything in your field, talk to people, get feed back. Assume you know nothing and are thirsting for knowledge just like you need water to survive. Never, never stop. Read till your eyes bleed :) thanks, Phil P.S. You know... the average person watches T.V. 20 to 40 hours per week. \"If\" this is you...turn off the boob tube for just an hour per day and just read and study. You\'ll be amazed what you\'ll know one year from know. \”leaders are readers\”
