So, I've already ranted on this forum about the "I heard" guy who tells you he heard you can't sell into Wal-Mart because they'll murder you in your sleep, etc.

I've also had several run-ins lately with people that work for big companies in our industry telling us there's no money to be made in our space.... even though we're growing sales every day. In a way I'm glad, because I think those bastards being asleep at the wheel gives us more time to take market share before they wake up.

So, fastlaners, it's time for a communal rant to get my spirits up.

Tell us about stuff you did that people said you couldn't do.
