Steve, this article was a gob-smacking, vigorous example of a highly effective person, just in the disguise of an announcement.
It not only gives a simplistic glimpse at the essence of your business model and reinforces many of the things you've written about in your blog, but it also gives a great example of your planning method in action.
People with career difficulties: this post is secretly the best post Steve has ever written on careers.
(Not kidding, although you might have to read all his other posts before you can appreciate this one.)
I'm highly tempted to direct any of my detractors to this article, maybe even make up cards with a link to this article that I can hand out to people who wish to argue with me or pull the scepticism and fear cards. It only seems fair that I get to pull a card of my own. A great time saver, too! (Not kidding once again. I can get business cards made for cheap, and this'd save me *sooo* much time in terms of dealing with non-supportive people, and also help me maintain a positive mindset with fewer "negative" bumps from detractors. Free marketing for Steve is a win for both Steve and the person I share a link to Steve’s site with.
)
One day I'll make a post like this blog post from Steve. It'll be tailored to me, but it'll have the same message behind it. Then I'll get some new cards made.
