You deserve the accolades!

I've been so busy building my new website that I hadn't done my usual stroll through my favorite blogs in a few weeks.

I'm blushing at all the nice things you've said, and at Cathy's comment! Y'all are the bestest.

I interviewed a young professional today whose entire business is run online. He works in insurance — a very traditional industry. When I asked him how his business is like the traditional model, he said, "Relationships. You still have to build relationships."

You are so right about Jake's great writing voice.

I often chuckle to myself how the more things change, the more they stay the same. For all our innovative technology and emerging businesses, one constant remains. It's all about relationships. That simple yet complex concept is the not so secret way to success. 🙂

I bet your neighbor would make an excellent salesperson! I know a dude who spent so much time building elaborate scams — he'd be unstoppable if he put that same energy into a legitimate career. Alas, he's busy in jail at the moment…

Reading this opened my eyes to how calculated our (overly) friendly neighborhood beggar must be. But hey, if it works pretty well for him, it should be great for writers with actual services to sell!

Seriously, that neighbor should be in sales. He knows it's a numbers game, since everyone in the neighborhood has a story about him "borrowing" this and that. I don't think the guy has actually paid for anything in years. If he put half that effort into a sales job, he'd quickly be pulling in a good income.

Thanks for the tip, Lori. I'll be downloading Jake's e-book later today!
