Thanks Dan. It's vital that we say Thank you and I stink at it so it's something to keep in the front of your mind, not the back. So who are you going to send emails to?

Thanks Dan. I appreciate you stopping by. There are other great episodes of Linchpin but I think you'll enjoy this one about Hyatt and Guillebeau too.

I make sure to thank the people who have added value to my life. This might be through a phone call or email. Great post.

Glad you're busy, Andy. I've been tracking your new op's via the BTW podcast. Hope to see you there if you do make it, but either way I'm glad your hard work is paying off. Also glad you're on Mike Hyatt's team now, too. He's got a great blog and I enjoyed meeting him and speaking with him briefly at the Evernote Trunk Conference. Best of all to you and your family. Merry Christmas, Andy!

Thanks Brandon. Let's just say I did a little maintenance last knowing that I was going to get about 100X the traffic I would normally get in a day b/c of Mike's mention in his blog. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for being a part of the Hyatt community. I'm a proud member myself and I'm stoked to help him create some great products for the community.

I think I'll put that on my business cards.... Magnifying glass of awesomeness :)

Without realizing it, I've totally allowed myself to slip - and I'm forgetting to read these guys' awesome stuff. Thanks so much for reminding me of these guys, Andy.

You've got an incredible ability to point out the worthy content out there, and open up sweet discussion. Buddy, you're like a magnifying glass of awesomeness.

I'd love to but I don't think i can get a ticket. I'm doing a lot of travel thanks to some new opportunities so we'll see. I'm guessing you'll be there then?

Andy- Will you be heading to Chris' WDS this year? Hope to see you there!

Thanks for the suggestions. I read just about everything from Seth Godin I can get my hands on and I will be following Chris Guillebeau and Michael Hyatt. I am in the process of starting a laser engraving business. Who knew the road to being remarkable was this fun.

Andy Traub — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:43:58 -0000

Thanks for the compliment. I suggest following Seth Godin, Chris Guillebeau and Michael Hyatt very closely. So what are you making? Ship it my friend.

Great ideas. I especially like the 2nd one "Create your own content even if you think it stinks" That is where I am now. The more you write, the better you get. It helps to get feedback, but just generating the content helps. Another way to get better is to get inspiration from the people you look up to (1st one) Even Michelangelo copied the early work of masters to learn his craft

I'm going all out brother. Go big or go home is what I say! But I hope it's working for ya. You're a smart dude so I know you've got a handle on it.

I'm glad you mentioned Twitter because I'm looking at it in a new way since I started this "unfriending". It may be a better/easier place for me to communicate now with people like you and others that I don't know as well.

Andy Traub — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:19:06 -0000

Good call Sutton. It can take over so much of our attention and we simply need to ask "Why?"

Thanks for posting. I noticed Dan Miller totally deleted his f/b profile and just keeps his business page. His and Seth's content are so good that people look for them. I have hidden most peoples' updates on f/b to cut down on much of the garbage.

Dang think I'm next with L. Oh well see you on hootsuite.

I'm taking a similar route, but instead of unfriending, I'm simply not subscribing or hiding their posts. This allows me to keep the network in place, just in case I need to find someone I friended at some point.
