So true, JP. In teaching, the educators I respect unfailingly are those who are genuine, in class or out. Doesn’t matter at all if I agree with them, not in the least. I respect them.

Same thing goes for online marketers. Those who are obviously out to make the buck without regard for being genuine get my unsubscribe right away. The problem is they don’t get enough unsubscribes.

Too many people don’t realize that their disingenuousness ultimately limits their success. Any success that is reached blinds them to the real possibilities.

Mark — TY, TY! Just my attempt @ flawlessy combining politics, media, & business for your profit.

Zach – we touch on that very briefly in Secrets of Online Persuasion, but we are working on a book that deals more directly w making that kind of “BIG Move” no matter where a person may be @ now.

Roger – Mahalo! Building your Persuasive Selling Platform on true persona is a key to successful Tribal Seduction. But as evidenced by Obama’s recent performance, his strategists dropped the ball there. Or could be, maybe they know fewer peeps would vote for him if they did see complete transparency….. Nah! That couldn’t be it! Could it?

Great stuff J.P. How true. When I was a flight attendant after loosing everything we were in training and most of the flight attendants were so worried about being thrown out if they made a mistake. I used to say, just be who you are then you don’t have to worry about screwing up because you have nothing to hide. Great reminder. But you took it a bit further about building the “Platform” that’s great. Keep up the great work! Roger – TriVisionGlobal

JP, in your book, do you and your wife get into the “BIG aha moment” that got you to pack up from Joisey and head to hawaii? To be livin’ in Hawaii you guys are really kickin’ some major butt. I went to Maui 4 yrs ago and it seemed that those living there, none the less on the water, are REALLY rockin’

I am inspired more so than ever before! Thanks in advance!
