Tomorrow’s “Ben Settle Show” podcast covers 7 more “Email Players rules” (success maxims, philosophies, etc I do business and live life by that have made life a lot easier and more profitable).<\/p>\n
The prior 21 rules were:<\/p>\n
(Out of context, of course, you have to listen to the shows for the full story on each one, that’s the way my beady, rat-like mind works…)<\/p>\n
1. Email is talk radio<\/p>\n
2. Be your own best client<\/p>\n
3. First hour of the day belongs to you<\/p>\n
4. Don’t put your customers on a pedestal<\/p>\n
5. The customer is always wrong<\/p>\n
6. Don’t let facebook steal your balls<\/p>\n
7. Put your own oxygen mask on first<\/p>\n
8. Write drunk, edit sober<\/p>\n
9. Don’t let your customers steer your ship or you\u2019re gonna end up on the rocks<\/p>\n
10. Be a leader not expert<\/p>\n
11. Don’t reward bad behavior<\/p>\n
12. If you want to know what someone really wants, observe what they buy<\/p>\n
13. It’s better to be respected than liked<\/p>\n
14. Cut people out who complicate your life<\/p>\n
15. Spew lukewarm people off your list asap<\/p>\n
16. Don’t play with guns in the dark<\/p>\n
17. Don’t try to save a damsel if she loves her distress<\/p>\n
18. If someone is going to cast you as the villain, then you might as well play the roll well<\/p>\n
19. If it ain’t controversial it’s probably not worth writing about<\/p>\n
20. If you have fun writing it, they’ll usually have fun reading it<\/p>\n
21. Don’t sell yourself for free<\/p>\n
Anyway, another 7 are on deck tomorrow. The 21 rules above are rapped about in episodes 21, 30, and 34.<\/p>\n
