A Pencil and a Knife

I just came across a picture of a boss I had in the mid 1970's. Of course that brought up a great deal of memories. He was gruff, profane, tough and a tireless worker, but he was really good to me. I learned a lot from him. We did all kinds of construction. He one time asked me, "What are the two most important tools for a plumber." I started to guess .... stillson wrench, torch, pipe cutter? His laughed and said," The two most important tools for a plumber are a pencil to figure the job and a knife to sharpen it."

With so many things at our disposal, what are the two most important tools for an online entrepeneur? For the individual, I would say imagination and time. For the business, I would say a good device and traffic. What would you say are the two most important things to help you keep on fish'!?

Thanks for sharing, You made a very good 'Point',

It would still be the pencil and the knife to sharpen it so as to write good content :)

Very good content

Nothing changed James. The most important tools are still a pencil and a knife. The pencil to draft your posts (which will bring you traffic). The knife to sharpen the pencil.

Good content and good targeting!

For me, it would be time and my fellow WA'ers. I don't think I could make it without the support from all of you.

Yup.

I agree I think I would always need some time to work on this and to able maintain interest to keep going.

For me, the community help and perseverance.

Yeah, imagination and time are definitely up there!
