You can’t please everybody, so don’t even try.
Be honest with yourself when you decide what, how and why you write in your blog or on your website or even in your marketing materials. You will want to be genuine with your audience and the only way to do that is to own it. You can try to fake it, but I don’t suggest that because it will make your life harder than necessary. It may even cause you to put…
