Quotes by Cory House:
“If you want to do consulting gigs, you need to specialize.”
“The software alone, which developers tend to fixate on, is not enough. People won’t magically show up at your door if you don’t have a solid sales side as well.”
“As far as reach goes, you’re pretty hard-pressed to get a reach grander than blogging.”
