		<description>Paul,

I have nearly completed my first decade of overnight success!

I believe in a steady as you go strategy and in truth I would say I have just learn&#039;t to crawl and I am now dragging myself up onto the furniture and fingers crossed my first steps are not to far away!

Great blog.

Regards

		<description>Hey Paul, greetings from Minneapolis, Minnesota.  We&#039;re the Land of 10,000 Lakes . . . and 10,000,000 varieties of mosquitoes.  The latter proves especially annoying when you realize that some of them are the size of sparrows.  Seeing small children carried down the highway is not uncommon.  Where was I . . .

I was looking for a spot to make a broad-based comment on your site and this seems to be the perfect place.

As I sat here reading and re-reading your work for the past 20 minutes, I kept wondering why everything you had to say - especially in your Welcome - resonated so much for me.  Finally, it came to me (sometimes with me, things take awhile):  We are two peas in a pod halfway around the world from one another.  Honestly, it&#039;s frightening . . . in the most positive sense of the word.

Your honesty, humor and antithesis-to-preaching approach is incredibly refreshing.  And your personal story -- like you, I&#039;ve been way up and even further down.  Clint Eastwood&#039;s &quot;The Good, The Bad and The Ugly&quot; might well have been the forerunner to my professional life.  I&#039;ve said to any number of people over the years - when you&#039;re on the radio, on stage or writing an article, an audience knows THE SECOND you&#039;re lying to them.  &quot;Lying&quot; meaning not speaking from the heart.  You understand that in no uncertain terms.

As soon as I finish here, I&#039;m putting you on my Sites I Read at Blog Harbor.  I plan on coming back quite often.

Best,
Christopher</description>

		<description>Thank you for your fabulous comment, Mike! I’m humbled that you feel that way and honoured that you saw fit to say so. You were the first person to put me in contact with Seth Godin&#039;s work. As these pages will show, this has had a profoundly positive effect on my business and my life. :)</description>

		<description>Paul

As a friend of Banjar i have watched you grow over the last 5 years. While you call yourself a &#039;copywriter&#039; we know full well you are somebody who has the unique skill of:

&#039;saying more with less&#039;

you have helped me and many of my customers save money, say more with less and become effective with communication

Well done

		<description>Hi Paul,

I have always thought that overnight success can just as quickly become overnight failure without the right planning, vision and skills.  

With three decades to build your empire I&#039;m sure you possess the key elements to this market space, have no doubt learnt many valuable lessons and as a small business exponentially expanding our client base, in the very rapidly growing online world, we can only benefit from the experiences others have already had and leverage them to our advantage.

I have syndicated your RSS feed and look forward to your future blogs!</description>
