Synopsis

Many years ago, I developed a fascination for martial arts. I started reading books that promised to teach self defense and soon I was practicing he steps at home. A few months later, I joined karate classes, and whey my sensei started teaching theory to the class, I thought I already knew it all. And then I had my first sparring bout. All the theory I had learned, all the practice I had done at home, all the things I thought I knew about karate dissipated in one single moment. That was when I tasted my own blood. That was my first experience of how theory sometimes leaves you unprepared for the real world. Marketing is no different. Useful guidelines for brand builders in the form of 101 lessons from a field test pro. Easy to read.
