I'm glad you find my writing very accessible, as I'm definitely not one that likes to use big words and all that mumbo jumbo. I'm from the south and we like to keep things simple round here :) Haha, man we're really being held accountable for that e-book aren't we?

I think it's something that is so much easier said than done and probably a little cliche, but I've really come to realize that if you love what you are doing then it isn't work. I think that a great niche for you IS making these business/marketing ideas accessible to the folks like me who wouldn't necessarily see it otherwise. As per usual, great post!

Like we've said, talking about ourselves isn't negative. It can be very powerful and the recognition is often important. Its about seeing where we've come, where we are and where we're going.

That sums it up so clearly, Jackie. And I'm also cracking up about your intro line thanks for the kudos and the tiny hands shout out :) You will see they really ARE tiny!
