Let's try something more meaningful than "good article" (By the way, I do think all previous good article posters are either idiots or otherwise having an off day. On second thought, strike that last alternative.)

3) Bad At Math – Delusional Accounting Concepts
Hoping for better times and emulating what your competition does is not sound accounting advice.

This is a very solid point, and in no way speciffic to adult ; tech companies of all sorts have shown great exposure to it, and to a certain extent even non-tech ones.

This is a business, not a popularity contest, although sometimes it might feel that way, particularly in the adult industry.

There's a lot of herd activity going on in adult, and I think moreso than anywhere outside of grade school.
Maybe a good side exercise, to complement that article, would be this :
1. Pick up a piece of paper and write down 10 important statements about your business. Anything from "PR is meaningless" to "Blue is the true sell color".
2. Next to each, write
G if you guessed this yourself, but can show no proof ;
I if you've come up with it yourself, and have proof ;
R if you've read it somewhere and have actually proven it to yourself, and
I'm a lemming if you've read it somewhere and you just believed it.
Then count your lemmings.
What's that you say, nobody has the time to test everything they do ? O, really ?
