Thanks for the post, Ron. I think I have just been getting overwhelmed with all
of the sales messages I get from the internet marketing gurus.

You are right, there are examples all around. Sometimes we just need to hear more
about them.

That's why I subscribe to your excellent newsletter. I recommend it highly. It's
a great idea generator. I can honestly say it was your newsletter that got me going
on some things. And you should see the notebook full of goofy ideas I brainstormed.

I am in the process of working on some things. One of them is based on one of my
interests, and something that my friends and family all say that I am good at. I
keep "seeing myself" on 'Oprah' showing her the info. You never know-great things can
happen.
