Key Points
The world is fragmented into many groups; there is no more mass market.
Each of us has the ability to market the work we are doing through our actions.
The hard work begins by choosing the smallest group of people you can live with and ignoring everyone else.
Pick ten people. Find something that will amaze and delight the ten. And if you can’t, then start over.
