It sounds really interesting Martin, 'Back to basics' is a lot like this. My real inspiration is the people who just bulldoze their way to success because they don't let anything stop them. They keep it simple and hust make it happen. And the beauty is, they usually don't know how to make things complicated in the first place. So they don't. Hey Gregg, Yeah, egos can ruin a lot of good things. A strong ego sometimes comes with the package when it comes to aggressive, go-get-it personalities. And there's always a danger it can get out of hand. Hi David,

I like it. The first thing I thought of was marketers or advertisers who use jargon. Jargon is a bad idea, anytime. Maybe Ed de Bono should've added the dunce cap to his six thinking hats.

But like you said, sometimes you just have to pick one and roll with it, or you're doing nothing. I've read many times that the most successful people make decisions very quickly and confidently...........they may not always choose the best option, but they don't waste time worrying about it.
