Pearls of wisdom from Gene

"When that one person reads what you have or they hear your podcast, will they say me too! Will they say he/she gets me?"

“The bullseye, the centre the sweet spot, is the profitable niche, that is the one person who gets the highest value from what you have to offer.”

"You have got to really know who you are writing to because the watered down version gets ignored so easily, where as the specific version polarises the audience, it tells them exactly who it is for and who is it not for."

“Your inner critic is an asshole”
