David,

Thanks for passing the 100 Lessons along to your readers.  Hopefully, some of the lessons I have learned and paid dearly for, will help your readers avoid a mistake.

I am very interested in this topic/subject and welcome any feedback or comments from people who have traveled similar roads.

best, GL HOFFMAN, Minneapolis, MN

GL, some interesting comments. Some a little obvious, but others really made me think - always a good sign.

As a relative youngster, I'm always eager to hear from people who have been there done that already. However, only some of the points made include anecdotes or real stories to make the ideas come to life. Others are just snapshots of wisdom, which could be as much from Oprah or Baz Lurhmans "sunscreen" song). Maybe I am too young just to listen and accept the point.

One further little point - I wasn't blown away by the one idea per page format. Made reading it more difficult, although I supose the idea itself has merit.

David...you make some good points that would improve the idea and e book.  My only excuse is that I am not a writer so what you got are snippets of learnings, not fully developed chapters.  If I had some time, er, energy around this, I could come up with  more illustrative stories.  Do you think I should?

thanks for taking the time to respond with these on point comments.

Blog Archive

As my blog has grown extensively over the past year, I've created a new dynamic blog archive for those of you who may be looking to dig through the earlier discussions.

Due to the ever-expanding nature of the conversation here, I’ve created this indexing system to help those of you that may be looking for earlier conversations. Click on any of the four main topics below to see their subcategories, and click the subcategories to see the relevant blog posts. Click here or on the x in the top corner at any point to return to the main blog page.

This is a beta version of the interface, and we plan to develop a more refined catgorization scheme but thought this early version would be useful.
