Arguing with Success

Arguing with success "You can't argue with success." 

Of course you can.

Conventional wisdom says you shouldn't bother. But arguing with failure is dumb. Failure doesn't need to be argued with, it's already failed.

It takes guts to argue with success, guts and insight. And it's the best way to make things better.

  • Find new jobs and projects by interacting with like-minds in your field
  • Get feedback on ideas and projects from your followers
  • Have quality conversations with people interested in the same fields
Here are tips to build your personal brand on Twitter on the side, without wasting hours each day on it. In fact, I believe these things can be done within 30 minutes of effort each day.
