product or service, or the one that is most cleverly marketed? How many
products are successful in the marketplace simply because they were mar-
keted effectively?
Now, we are not suggesting that you sell low-quality products. We want
you to do outstanding work. We also want you to do good marketing.
Value Your Work
You may be fantastic at what you do. Sales. Computers. Retailing.

First, value is like beauty; it lies in the eye of the beholder. And second, if
you don't believe in your own value, no one else will -- even if you are
gifted at what you do.
Consider two of the world's greatest artists: Vincent Van Gogh and
Pablo Picasso. Today, their paintings are worth millions. They are cele-
brated and renowned masters of their craft. But how successful were they
when they were alive?
Van Gogh was a genius at painting. However, he was also very intro-
