“Your Business Card is CRAP”

$4 a card. Wow. I like this video.

Well MY card is made from the skin of the Dodo, edged with ground rhino horn and printed with ink made from the tears of baby foxes. by filterlab

There is some real solid advice in what this guy has to say. I guess it’s just too bad that most of us care about being liked.

What I learned from this video:

You need to stand out against your competition. You want the potential employer to pick up your card instead of someone else’s.

However, standing out doesn’t need to cost you $4 per card. All you need to do is take a look at your competition, then do something different. Something better.

    This guy is right about the quality of the business-cards but on the other hand his budiness-card is not able to make him more likeable.

    Hasenfarm: right you are, but he doesn’t care if he’s likeable or not, as long as he’s successful.

    Could be what’s holding us back (we all care if we’re likeable or not).

    This isn’t meant to be ironic or funny? I thought for sure it was. ;)

    He’s kind of a douche.
