To Those I’m Thankful For
When I rewrote my to-do list a couple of days ago, I wrote: “12. Write a thank-you post.”
This is that post.
My success as a copywriter has not been an individual journey. I’ve been supported by dozens of people all along the way. And I want to take a moment to thank them.
God – For directing my life and loving me through it all.
You, Dear Reader – Without you, I wouldn’t have a reason to write.
My Clients – Thank you for trusting me to write copy that produces results.
John Anghelache – For being a great business partner and an amazing thinker.
Ben Settle – For your endless generosity, interview skillz, and being an all-around great guy.
Ray Edwards – For knowing pretty much everything about Internet marketing, and being willing to share it. I think we learn more from you than you do from us!
Daniel Levis – For adding a unique (new) dynamic to our Mastermind Group. I’ve never met any copywriter who could use “comeuppance” in a sales letter.
Michel Fortin – For supporting me in my blogging efforts and promoting my ebook. (You rock, Michel!)
Terry Dean – For promoting my blog and being a great model of how to really build an Internet business.
Keith Goodrum – For being the first guy to submit an action plan. (Had a great time in New York with you and Becky!)
Stephen Dean – For interviewing me and promoting my blog. I love your creativity and innovation in the copywriting field.
John C. A. Manley – For your perseverance and your willingness to be human. Your stories are always so inspirational.

And make 2009 a great year. :-)
