If You’re Not Making Enemies, You’re Doing It Wrong

I guess I'm doing it right because since I published my book I'm making a few enemies!

"If your communications involve walking on eggshells and you’re afraid you might make an enemy or upset someone, you’re not really embracing the social web.

We need enemies to push us to the next level, challenge us and cause us to think and improve. They give us perspective and remind us of our purpose.
