I 'coined' a phrase today: "Flattery is for sub-par people you don't want to offend, not for the beautiful ones you're lucky to have as friends."
Feel free to tell the ones you trust.
In any business, you're lucky when the people you admire are also people you can call a friend.
While you don't need support to write a book and get it published or run a website, it sure helps to have someone around.
Leave the butt-kissing to boardrooms and drinks on company cards.
Keep the truth with you always.
