The people you are trying to reach don’t really care about “you” at all but they’re a whole lot more interested in “ME.” Everyone wants the best for themselves. Even if you created a revolutionary software program that would make Bill Gates jealous, it doesn’t matter. What the really care about is how it can benefit them.
