Most of us are familiar with the classic movie charlatan, selling the elixir guaranteed to heal you or make you stronger, and the paid programming on late night TV selling you something you already have, but with fancy words making it seem like something new and innovative or the TV preacher promising he can save your soul, but only if you dig deep into your heart and your pockets, or the spokesman providing you with “free” information on government secrets.
People are very opinionated, to the point of absurdity in some cases. Some decisions we make are based solely on good and bad associations regardless of good judgment or logic.
What separates us from animals is primarily this:
- An animal’s reality and motivations are based mainly on their instincts
- A human’s reality and motivations are based mainly on their psychological state
Some might say the biggest issue or bottom line for every business is affordability (of products or services), others may say quality or demand or exposure etc. or all of the above and so on.
I say customer relations, and more specifically whether the business actually cares about their customers/clients or JUST their money. Every business cares about money, that is after all the point of running a business, but I think an important question customers ask themselves is: “Do they actually care about me or my success and are they taking pride in their work as if it were for themselves“.
I’ve started a network / LinkedIn group that I hope will pick up and become useful for people:

It was a long abandoned project that I was working on that is more or less craigslist, only driven towards just the Web / Technology specific community. It can be utilized somewhat as a social network, but it’s main intention is for those looking for work to find and for those needing help to find it.
I’ve finally completely re-vamped it. It is very much in Beta and has lots of work do be done on it, but I invite everyone to check it out.
Thanks, Bryan
