Lessons learned (again)

I feel foolish about violating some of my own business practices and getting burned this week. So I took a minute to write out and publish personal resolutions.

RESOLVED:
I will not publish content or collect reviews on sites controlled by large tech companies like FaceBook, Twitter, and Google. I will use their sites only to promote content published on my own web sites.

RESOLVED:
I will not pay large tech companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google for ads or lead generation. I will happily pay individuals and other small businesses for this work.

RESOLVED:
I will discount my fees only to pay for referrals or new client recruitment.

RESOLVED:
I will not schedule work until payment is received.
