Sit down. Pour yourself a stiff drink. Then, on one side of one sheet of paper write down all the reasons why you think you should be advertising. After you’ve done that, refill your glass, turn over that same sheet of paper, and write down all the reasons why you shouldn’t be advertising.

• Your competition advertises.
• Your competition is killing you.
• You have a deep­-seated desire to kill your competition.
• You think you have a unique product/service.
