I am very grateful for the advice I get in my informational interviews with experts and other entrepreneurs, but I often hear, “why don’t you…” And I have, a lot. But, what I realized is, just because you can do something, does not mean you should do something.

Before the Internet, perception management was subjective at best, and branding was more an art than a science. That concept has gone right out the window with the advent of blogs, social networking sites, etc.

I wish that people weren't trying to make The Real World out of the art world. It's too bad that these artists won't get this great opportunity by being...ahem...a good artist.
