I’m letting you breathe, what more do you want?

"So Cameron signed on to write Rambo: First Blood Part II and Aliens simultaneously -- while also doing rewrites of The Terminator. With a calculator, he divided the amount of time he had by the number of pages he had to write and spent the next four months jumping between three different desks, putting on different music for each script." So reads page 61 of a book called: "James Cameron Interviews" Not the most exciting title. But it's about an exciting bloke -- James Cameron. He's the control freak behind the first two "Terminator" movies (yes, I am aware he was sued or something for plagiarism with Terminator, don't bother me with trifles, I'm writing...), Aliens, and True Lies -- all huge Hollywood blockbusters. He also did Titanic and Avatar which, while I was bored by Titanic and thought Avatar dorky (and the sequel looks even dorkier so far), I can't argue with their results -- two of the highest grossing movies in history. Anyway, what I am a fan of is the guy's work ethic. And, especially, his "the beatings will continue until morale improves" style. But mostly, I like his work ethic. Specifically: His philosophy of not being a perfectionist, but a "greatest." i.e. "I only want to do something until it's great not perfect." The point? This is exactly the attitude to have if you want to win in email, too. Forget perfectionism. Forget trying to please others. And, yes, forget trying to be "liked.” Frankly, nobody likes Cameron -- actors go home crying, crew members accuse him of abuse, and he even once made his own brother, in the movie "The Abyss", shoot a scene 25-feet underwater, eyes open, with a live crab in his mouth just to get the perfect realistic shot of a corpse with a crab crawling out of its mouth...the joke about James Cameron's dictator-style on set was "I'm letting you breathe, what more do you want?" Forget all that. I have always admired James Cameron's work ethic. And his desire to be great at what he does. Plus you know what else? These are the kind of customers I like, too. For example: I have talked to a lot of "Email Players" subscribers. Especially the ones who have been with me since its launch in August 2011, going on 11 years straight. And, there's one thing they almost all have in common: This same iron-fisted work ethic. An ethic that keeps them writing daily. Selling daily. And, yes, making sales daily. Those are the kind of customers I like. They are also who our BerserkerMail platform works best for.
