In a mini-interview with Space,
Marina Sirtis
who played Counselor Troi
on Star Trek: The Next Generation
said when she sees actors
being rude to
or having no time for their fans,
she wants to punch them in the nose.
THAT is how strongly
she feels about treating fans well.
Kelley Armstrong,
a New York Times Bestselling author,
is known for always responding
to readers.
Always.
I saw Richard Branson once
in an airport.
A young entrepreneur wanted
to talk to him.
Richard Branson missed his flight
to make time
for the complete stranger.
Fans, readers, customers
are important.
They pay your bills.
They’re the reason
your business exists.
Make time for them.
