The cause/effect of "provide value" leads to "make more money" seems like a believable theory at first, but it hasn't been what I've experienced to be true in real life. |
Thanks Paul - that's exactly what I found a few times in my life and I simply couldn't believe that Steve should be wrong about this.
I had never heard about Robert Scheinfeld until today and just spent a few hours going through these threads and RS's material on his website : all this is really convincing and I'll get the book now, although the cover looks really silly and cheap.
