[twitter] PR 101:: Bonus Key: Conduct CSI – Campaign Success Investigation – while things are fresh in your memory [/twitter] Sounds grisly, but what I mean here is after each event (etc.), do a “post mortem.” Deconstruct what you’ve done while it’s fresh in your memory."Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it“ – George Santayana

You stick to that and the rest don’t mean shit.Mitch: But what is the “one thing?”Curly: [smiles] That’s what you have to find out.
