so excited to be 5! ...and some words of thanks

Sometimes we get so busy, we forget to acknowledge those who have helped us get through the day to day  "To Do" list and who inspire us to reach for those stars...  Celebrating our 5th year in business is a milestone, but also gives us a chance to reflect. It's such a privilege to be here. To serve you. To make your day easier. And to be by your side.


With that, I'd like to have the honor of sending shout outs to these unique individuals, who although I've not had the privilege to meet personally (yet!)...they've made my day, pushed my boundaries, and made me think in new directions to help me make this thing called "entrepreneurship" even better. Kudos to:

• Seth Godin -- for a daily blog post of insightful nuggets I just can't wait to devour   (http://sethgodin.typepad.com)
• Marie Forleo -- for inspiring videos that go down smooth as molasses ( http://marieforleo.com/ )
• Mike Michalowicz -- for a damn good new  read, "the Pumpkin Plan"  (you must go harvest...!  http://www.amazon.com/The-Pumpkin-Plan-Strategy-Remarkable/dp/1591844886  ) 
• Peter Shankman -- for birth fathering HARO (what more can I say? THANKS for your vision ...andyour humor ;) (http://www.helpareporter.com/ ) ...

and... speaking of humor...

• Hugh MacLeod -- for the joy of that daily gapingvoid in my e-mail box ( http://gapingvoid.com/ )

All of you have been a part of our journey here, whether you know it or not.  I am grateful for the ways that you have shared, have taught, and have offered your help to those of us still trying to figure it all out (yet never giving up)... 

Thank you for being you.

time to swim with the Sharks?

if you are like me and LOVE abc's entertaining new show about entrepreneurship...let's just jump in the tank!
The casting folks are on their way to Chi-town so can't miss the chance to get up front and personal with them and see if I can get under their clothes (in a manner of speaking..;)
Not sure how it'll all go, but nothing ventured nothing gained, right?
Let's hope they get all excited and just want to take a bite out of THIS! 

I wear my tampon on my leg

don't you? ;-)

among other things...
