If Clients Are Buying the Milk, Don't Give Away the Cow!
"From my post, Sponsor and Support EGO Blog: "I haven't become rich on my blogging yet, but I see great potential in this field in the long run. I have gathered plenty of experience and knowledge of social media and the web (2.0?) during these 6+ years I have been publishing stuff in this electronic journal / weblog. My philosophical perspective has helped me to get a good grip of what's going on in the blogosphere. If you want to hire me for a talk / discussion / workshop or some other event on blogging and social media, please feel free to contact me by e-mail or via a social / business network, e.g. LinkedIn. As a "trader in matter & spirit," I am open to discuss different terms of exchange of values, i.e., delivery of service and payment. As a supporter of objective money, i.e., precious metals, my standard price is 1 kg / ~35.27 oz of silver (Ag) according to the buy rates at GoldMoney for a 1/2 working day (circa 4 hours, effective time)." http://egoist.blogspot.com/2009/02/sponsor-and-support-ego-blog.html"Barry Moltz » Blog Archive » The 10 People You Need to Follow into 2010
"Shashi: Thanks for providing us with Barry Moltz's list of individuals to follow. I am already following some of the individuals on the list, but I will go through it and check them out! :) Excerpt from the post: "Tim Sanders @sanderssays I can’t but be be disappointed when I meet most biz celebrities. Tim Sanders is the exception. I have read all his books and when I interviewed him on the radio, everything coming out of his mouth was insighful and actionable. Listen up!" I said the following in my book review of "Love Is The Killer App". "I feel strongly about this book, so you could see this blog post as a fan letter to Tim Sanders! I look forward to meeting Tim Sanders someday and check out his book libraries. I love the example with Steve Leveen of Levenger company and his fan letter to Stanley Marcus, the author of Minding the Store. I wonder if Tony Hsieh of Zappos found his calling as a merchant, in the same way as Steve Leeven." http://smallbiztrends.com/2009/12/review-love-is-killer-app.html"Yes. You Have to Sound Like a Salesperson.
"S. Anthony Iannarino: Yes, you have to sound like a salesperson, but the most important thing is that you start to listen to the purchaser! :) I think it is time for the salespeople to mingle and talk with the buyers, purchasers and other people in the supply chain!"Look Beyond Yourself for Success. | Better Closer
"Bill: As a student of a rational philosophy, I say that you have to start with yourself. That's why my blog is named after the word I in Latin, EGO. I believe that we should understand the voluntary exchange between two individuals. It is called the trader's principle."Look Beyond Yourself for Success. | Better Closer
"Bill: Thanks for your reply. Ayn Rand's bestseller novel, Atlas Shrugged, was recently discussed at John Stossel's TV show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QmAzEsrtyo If you want to learn more about Ayn Rand and her philosophy, please check out: http://arc-tv.com/ - The Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights.

If Clients Are Buying the Milk, Don't Give Away the Cow!
"Yonatan Maisel: I don't agree with your #3 point on altruism. I am not sacrificing any higher value by spreading my tips, advice and pieces of the "puzzle." I am doing it as a rational selfish individual and a social media enthusiast. My time is "weighted in gold," or in my case, silver. I will write another comment with an excerpt from my post, Sponsor and Support EGO Blog < http://egoist.blogspot.com/2009/02/sponsor-and-support-ego-blog.html >, in order for you to understand my take on the "milk" and "cow" trade. You are welcome to buy the milk and the cow if you are acting according to the trader principle and trade value for value."
