Last but not least... I love the videos and there are a few more.
But! A huge BUT! I dipped my head into the blog and I'm always amazed that people sit around and try to make a living on giving advice about how to market. As far as I'm concerned, you either market and are successful at it, or you market something and you aren't successful. The idea that some guy has to dip into a career of telling people what to do leads me to believe they never really learned what to do-- they've just heard a lot of quaint stories about what to do along the way.
Here's my advice: If you want to start a buisness and the only people you are selling to is your family and friends -- you've failed miserably. Give up. Go Home. Go to work for McDonalds or something. Spare the world your wonderful ideas. If on the other hand your family and friends are perplexed, and strangers are following you around trying to get a piece of the action... you might be onto something.

I appreciate you sharing that! -j The best advice I ever read was a book I randomly picked up off a book rack. I read a select few passages and knew the book was for me. It is titled "How to swim with the sharks without being eaten alive." by Harvey(?) McKay. At the time, I was about as detached from office world as can be. Since that time I've been through some dog eat dog confrontations and I always came out ahead using principles taught in that book. Donald Rumsfeld himself has a little quote in the front or back praising the book. I bought it before I knew who Donald Rumsfeld was. Defiant1 |

Interesting videos. The way the camera kept moving around was a bit wierd though.
I didn't realize Laura Neal's injuries where that bad. I assume she made a full recovery.
Cool stuff.

I didn't think the injuries sounded that bad after watching everything. Keep in mind ther was a period where she was being tested that her family just didn't know the severity. Lack of information often creates a worse impression than unpleasant information. "Not knowing" is always worse than the truth. Defiant1 |

I guess it can sound worse than it is sometimes but, jeez, that sounds bad. I'm glad it was something she could recover from. Did she use crutches at the Good Guys event or was she in a wheel chair? I seem to remember reading that it was the former. |
