What’s an ”Email Domain”?

Why does it matter?

Why don't I use [email protected]?  I run a business... it may be small

but I take it seriously and I want my customers, suppliers and business contacts to take it as seriously as I do.

A custom domain name is also a guidepost to your website. In most cases if you just put the domain name from someone's email into your browser... bingo you end up at the company's website... it's like magic!

The Reading Room

Rejection Proof by Jia JiangRejection proof is the author’s story of how he spent 100 days trying to get rejected and his insights. Key thoughts for me • rejection says more about the where

the person doing the rejecting is coming from rather than the about the person getting rejected

• some of the greatest moments in the book are when the author asks for something outrageous and then gets it

• how to ask, get rejected then ask why
