How often are you wrong? What I mean is, how often do you admit that you are wrong? We are all wrong at least some of the times on issues that are not subjective; you recall a birthday as Feb 3rd instead of March 3rd, you forget that you take a left on Main St then a right on Elm St when giving directions to a friend, etc. We are all wrong some of the time. Understanding why we are wrong, how perception influences our level of trust, and what we can do about it is the subject of Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error by Kathryn Schulz.
Today I am going to discuss a takeaway idea from the Being Wrong. As with any book, there are tons more great ideas that can be gleaned from the pages so be sure to check this one out.

Reading is a great way to learn. It’s said that the person you will be in five years will depend on two things: who you meet and the books you read.

I scream, you scream we all scream for… a meatball sundae? Maybe not, but it is a good illustration of two things that, when slapped together, just don’t fit. In today’s book, Meatball Sundae: Is Your Marketing out of Sync?, Seth Godin uses the concept of combining a ground meat sphere with a yummy dairy treat to show how unappetizing it can be when you combine things that don’t really go together.
The old way of operating is a good way to run your business into the ground. We must get our message in sync with our customers and understand their needs. There is too much clutter for anything but a focused message to reach the customers that need your product or services. You can use a ton of tricks and tips to reach your customers but if you don’t know what they want, all you’re building is a meatball sundae, not something I would want to eat.
Today I am going to discuss a takeaway idea from the Meatball Sundae. As with any book, there are tons more great ideas that can be gleaned from the pages so be sure to check this one out; you never know where you’ll discover your next big idea.
