In direct-mail terms, to “seed” — means to “plant” your name anonymously on mailing lists — your own and those of your competitors. By doing that, you not only monitor what’s happening with your own mailings, you also stay on top of the offers that others are sending out. [...]

Disagreements happen. You can't always get your way. Everyone has an opinion. There are two sides to every argument. When you're dealing with family or friends, you expect to have differences of opinion. Perhaps you are willing to fight for your views and what's important to you.

Testimonials

  • “I recently read Michael Masterson’s article on golfing with his son. The message became very important because it was a nudge into looking at life in a fresh way. It is really amazing how routine we are. I keep a notebook now. Every day, I pluck out some incident to write about. It’s great. Thanks for the nudge Michael.”
