One More Thank You for 2007

post # 483 — January 8, 2008 — a General post

It is already 2008 but I would like to pause for a moment before we move forward into the New Year. As you know, I truly appreciate and value the ways with which you share your thoughts and ideas. The last twelve months have been extremely stimulating and your contributions have helped shape the ideas and projects that grew out of this blog. My new book, Strategy and the Fat Smoker, is now officially out and the coming months promise to bring new possibilities for exchanges and discussions. Although the list below concerns the last three months, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone that has contributed, in one way or another, to a successful year.

I have to say that I keep this site on my daily read for two reasons. The first is that I value your insights and I have since I first read Trusted Advisor. But I also appreciate the way you bring out good conversation and helpful ideas from the rest of us. Thanks.

David:

A warm Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2008! I look forward to continued thoughtful discussions and dialogue stimulated by your postings and musings.

This is a fine example of how a community can grow and gain knowledge and wisdom by tapping into our collective experiences. Life is not a dress rehearsal – we all learn from each other.

Or, as one anonymous author said: “Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.” *sigh*

Cheers,

Dave
