Patricia Handschiegel - What Amazes Me
hat amazes me is how so many people I know are so incredibly successful in internet and business, yet none of them speak about themselves the way the less successful seem to. What amazes me is how there are so many amazing, talented and accomplished women entrepreneurs in my world yet the media rarely acknowledges them even though they do good business. In many cases, better. What amazes me is that despite mostly singlehandedly positioning and selling a start-up, launching a second, putting together a TV project without previous work in the market, and all kinds of other stuff, getting all of my laundry done every month is one of the most fulfilling accomplishments.

Seth's Blog: How to make money using the Internet
Connect those seeking similar. Who's running the ad hoc association of green residential architects? Or connecting the hundred CFOs at the hundred largest banks in the US? It's amazing how isolated most people are, even in a world crowded with people. I know of a guy who built an insanely profitable business around connecting C level executives at the Fortune 500. After all, there are only 500 of them. They want to know what the others are doing.
