Don’t Be Lead By The Blind
Posted on 04 August 2007 by DeanHunt
One day during rush hour, George Shearing (who had been blind since birth) found himself at a busy Manhattan intersection, waiting for someone to help him across the street.
After waiting for some time, he was finally tapped on the shoulder. Unfortunately, it was another blind man, seeking similar assistance. What did Shearing do?
“What could I do?” Shearing later laughed. “I took him across - and it was the biggest thrill of my life!”
This story reminds me a lot of Internet Marketing… there are so many blogs, guides, books, newsletters and products on the market, yet only a fraction of them are based on how the author ACTUALLY DID IT.
Personally I refuse to read any how-to guide that isn’t based on the author’s own experience.
Bear that in mind next time you consider purchasing a product, is it a case of the blind leading the blind?
