Steve – first time visiting the blog, thanks for the links to some great articles. I especially loved the Six Core Tactics. Which one did you find the most helpful for you this week?

Not sure how to answer. I think they are all very good, but very basic, as in fundamental. So, not sure I used one more than any other last/this week. It would be like eating a very good curry (which often has 10 to 20 spices) and being asked which spice you liked the best in the blend. They only work if used together, but work really well.
Was there one, or more, that meant something special to you last week?
