Recently started re-“reading” Ready, Fire, Aim by Michael Masterson (love this book :fire:), this time via the audio version.

In this chapter he makes the point that until you develop a system for selling your product or service profitably, you do not have a sustainable business, and so that should be your primary focus.

In other words...

Without sales, you have no business.

Seems simple, but so often ignored. What do you think?
