Ask HN: What was your “why didn't I start doing this sooner” moment?
Every time I start seriously exercising this hits in about week ~4.  Sadly, I only generally keep it up for 6 months before falling back to old habits.<p>Professionally: email lists.  If you have any reason to have a blog, you should have an email list.  It surfaces the identities of the people who are actually interested in what you have to say, and ties people to you much, much tighter than &quot;Oh yeah, that thing you wrote in 2011 that I read, that was a cool thing.&quot;<p>Businesswise: man, so many things could go here.  How about &quot;Put our sales process in a flowchart and execute from the flowchart, <i>not</i> from I&#x27;m-smart-and-can-extemporize-in-real-time.  Adjust flowchart as required.&quot;  Relatedly: answer common objections <i>once</i>, offline.  Cache the answers.  Repeat back from the cache, not from &quot;best halfway decent thing you can remember to say in real time.&quot;
