If you gotta fail… fail hard.

A friend who probably wouldn’t want his name mentioned forwarded me the following. I thought it would be fun to open a topic and let you share your own top 5. Here are his:

Wow, doom and gloom to sell managed services?  Will that really work? 

Seriously, what seminars are next?  “The Consolidation of MSPs”, “Learning from the Death of Dell – an educational memorial” and “What we learned from the days of SPLAs”.  Others?

What would your top-5 smart ass reason be?

Mine (you can decide which belongs to whom:

1. Owners who spent too much time at conferences and blogging.

2. Owners who kept firing employees till they churned the entire labor pool.

3. Owners who spend too much time reading books from Erick that they will never understand.

4. Owners who quit after reading Vlad’s blog, got depressed and killed themselves.

5. Owners that waited for bail-out money from the messiah

Now… These are mine:

1. There is a reason why you were laid off. Take a hint already: This IT stuff ain’t for you.

2. You bought management software before you had done any business to manage.

3. Business decision makers don’t take advice from the unemployed. Free tshirt with a Microsoft logo is not proper attire.

4. If your card was printed on your inkjet and you didn’t use it to commit check fraud you fail at life.

5. You didn’t subscribe Vladville in time. Enjoy fmylife.com.

Got any?
