    It's not how much you sell
    It's what you sell.
    And it's not so much what you sell
    as it it is what you don't sell
    You heard it here first.
    I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.

    Hmm,
    RC, would you care to elaborate on that a bit more?

    I mean it as a rebuke to "motivational" types
    who believe in generating high sales "numbers"
    without respect to what product they sell,
    whether it's good or bad.

    You undermine your business by selling a bad
    product, or by "over promise, and under-deliver"
    Selling too much of the wrong stuff will sink you
    no matter how motivated you are,
    and no matter how much "self esteem" you have.

    Ok, I see what you mean. Marketing is important, but a good product will go a long way even without the best marketing. What's the old saying, "Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door"?
