It's so true and I could not agree more. Actions not assumptions. Great post. It's always a welcome reminder: we are not our stories. Yes. It’s so true and I could not agree more.

I was just hanging with Gary Vaynerchuk at Wine Library at a networking event and he was saying how two of his favorite story tellers/ business people were Vince McMahon and Walt Disney. They all tell great stories and have made millions of dollars because of it. Seth Godin also tells how all great marketers are story tellers. The trick is getting an opportunity to tell your story. You've got to work it in as much as possible without being obnoxious and too self promotional. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Gilbert
