A Good Way to Start the Day
January 4, 2008

The first thing I read today - a handwritten note that was at the top of my inbox - came from Jeffrey J. Fox, the best-selling business author. He thanked me for sending me a copy of Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat and said he thought it was a "great" book and hoped we would sell "a million of them."

That was a pleasant way to begin the day's work. It made me think: it would be good for the blood if one could start off each day with an upbeat message of some kind. At ETR we receive written compliments all the time. Why not have one of them printed and sent around to our staff first thing each morning? Or at least every Monday morning. Better than an overdue bill.

Back to Jeffrey J. Fox. Ever since I first read How to Become CEO I was hooked on his little books: chock full of good advice that only someone who understands business from the inside could provide. Academy award winners often say that what they like best about the Oscars is that are bestowed by their fellow practitioners. That's how I feel about getting accolades from the likes of Jeffrey J. Fox.

And they are coming in. So far, we've heard very flattering comments from Porter Stansberry, Bill Bonner, Julia Guth, Katie Yeakle, Robert Ringer, Jay Abraham, Joe Vitale, Brian Tracy, Richard Frost, Ron Tucker, Brent Jones, Scott Martineau, among others.

Michael,

I've been in publishing more than 20 years and written more than 60 books. If you want to share any of those comments about your book from those easily-recognized names, I'd love to read them. I was delighted to see your book in the #1 spot on Amazon but not surprised.

Congratulations.
