Hope you had a safe and happy 4^th of July!!

It’s funny- I was reminded the other day that you truly cannot make everyone happy. And if you are focused on that- you probably aren’t doing very well in business.

At the end of last week- I sent a promotion out to all our Dicks + Nanton Agency clients to offer a website review for $295 (usually $495) something I only offer to DN clients or subscribers to CelebritySites. And I got several really nice emails that they wanted to use the offer just at a later date, a good amount of signups and then two really nasty emails that told me I was nuts LOL. Ahhhh you can’t please everyone! Nor will I try. For sheer curiosity I looked at the site that the person had gotten a “free review” of that said it was great…. Well, you get what you pay for!

Remember the “Project Management Triangle.” You can be TWO things on this triangle… not all 3… Good, Fast and/or Cheap!

Also- I just want to give you fair warning that I will not be doing alerts on Friday July 27^th (wedding day!!!) or August 3^rd (I will still be on my honeymoon). But I will be back again on Friday August 10^th!

As always- hope you enjoy the alert and please let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
