An old adage - but is ‘top of mind’ recently.

-
If the IRS want ‘a little chat with you’ …. would you ‘do some research’ and then take the case on, or go find a tax accountant?
-
If you needed medical attention would you have a friend ‘check out the symptoms and then diagnose you - or would you go to a doctor?
-
If you were sued for malpractice … get a lawyer - or ‘bone up’ on what youneed to know
…. you know the list is endless.
There is a tech podcast I listen to regularly - and a recurring theme is the difficulty of doing sales and marketing …
The solution - apparently - is to do some internet research - and ‘fix the problem’.
As I say - recurring.
I donโt listen to every edition - but I listen enough to be confident in my assertion that ‘they have not ever reached out to a professional sales / marketing person that could help them and I wonder why this is?
I do lay part of the blame at the feet of those people who lead those disciplines. I do understand that there are schmucks in those two worlds that makes you wonder how they make a living - but we also know there are bad lawyers, bad accountants, bad doctors ….
But Sales and Marketing? It canโt be that hard โฆ Iโll read up and solve my problem.
Meanwhile
I find that it is tech-oriented people who are particularly flawed when it comes to this kind of โthinkingโ - and I use that word loosely.
Anyway - that’s all I have to say. Right now I have an app to build this week. It’s all worked out. This afternoon I am going read up on java and python. Then tomorrow I will build my prototype. Should be all done by the weekend.
I mean - it can’t be that hard can it?
