Mark,

Thank you for this insightful article! As Howard mentioned, this approach to transperency in doing business is crucial for companies today. The old push marketing/doing business vs. pull marketing (consumers pulling info as they need it from companies willing to give) is an important distinction to make both as a business leader and as a consumer. I think that your message is very important for small emerging companies as well as established businesses. Job well done!

The group administrator or moderator needs to send out a "invite" for this event which would take you directly to the place you would RSVP. I did not receive any notification other than the email from Rob. Thank you!

ALSO... is the event location listed herein accurate?

Thanks! Amanda

Not looking to employ, in a traditional sense anyway. Looking to contract out this service. Need a referral - does anyone have one? Once I have a couple of referrals I will certainly do background checks on them for certain. Thank you for the additional point/perspective. - Amanda

Great info! Do you have a bookkeeper you can recommend? I'm a small business that needs their quickbooks cleaned up and maintained... help! Would rather have a personal referral of someone you either work with or know of their reputation. Thanks! Amanda

Hello Claire,

Don't you find it difficult to work with clients from all around the world - especially when there are urgent requests that would normally be met head on by someone in the same time space?

If not, how do you get around the time difference say between myself, in Seattle, Washington USA and yourself?

I've not met the man... my husband has though and while I'm not a fan of too much spice (I like to enjoy my food!) I am curious to at least catch a glimpse of the show. Great article Patrick, thanks for the invitation to review. I look forward to future articles and if I do experience a great company that has achieved the all to uncommon practice of great word-of-mouth marketing based on crazy out of the box antics... I'll be sure to pass it on!
