Hiya Derek!
I found your blog via Winning The Web, and am suitably impressed. I will be following your Success Series, and look forward to the next installments. Am giving you a SU review, this will drive some more traffic to your message. Awesome work, keep it up!

@Jacques Welcome.
Very interesting concept.
I have to come back and do some more reading.
Keep up the good work!
You have some grammatical errors in your post. In the first line you need to change “extraordinary” to “extraordinarily”. In the last line “…keep and open mind…” it should be, “keep an open mind…”
There are others as well, I suggest you run your copy through Word and do a grammar and spelling check before posting. I do.
Hi Derek,
Thanks for the compilation! You’re made it easier to reference the Success Factors in one scan! What I appreciate about what you’ve done is how you’ve presented a variety of perspectives about success and give us food for thought. I’ve got some catch up reading to do. But so far my favorites are the Kaizen, Four Hour Work Week and 5 Essentials.
Cheers~Marian

Did you ever make it through all of the articles?
I want to listen good music!
Собираюсь купить машину в ближайшее время. Выбираю из Бмв 525 (седан), Ягуар ХФ и Мерседес Бенц CLS
CLS мне очень нравиться дизайном (красиво), тем что их мало (буду признателен за информацию по нему-отзывов обзоров в сети почти нет), бмв протекционизмом (всякие интересные штучки, типа проекция на лобовое стекло, лучший двигатель), кресла говорят там хорошие, ягуар внешне и внутренним дизайном-тем что он такой компьютерный, а ля гаджет\телефон и новый, вышел недавно только что.
Что выбрать мне из вышеуказанного и главное почему? Посоветуйте пожалуйста
