Everyone’s A Customer, Not Just Your Customers
Hey there!
There’s a school of thought I follow that says that everyone’s a customer, not just the people that buy your product or service. I think I learned this first from Tom Peters when he came to speak at a broadcast company I was working at back in the 80’s – and it blew my mind and made so much sense.

A friend of mine shared with me a Persian proverb some 30 years ago, and I’ve never forgotten it: “Go wake up your luck.” And I’ve rarely found any proverb as useful or as true:
