Not sure how i came across your blog – i think i was looking for wordpress themes and all i can think is that yours must be a featured site from one of WP theme companies.

Anyway, the ‘under promise / over deliver’ sentiment appears to be the one that’s struck a chord with most of us and im guessing thats coming mostly from business owners or aspiring entrepreneurs who know full well what it takes.

Interesting (tho’ not really surprising) to see the general cynicism thats being directed towards the gurus who are continually promoting their own latest product launch or a buddy’s latest product launch which has INSIDER SECRETS as being the main selling point.

Have i bought a few secrets so far? Well, YES.

Were they worth it? Not usually, but there have been some gems out there, some real gems and although youre not selling us anything at the moment, i suspect you will have a loyal and intrigued readership who are keenly waiting for the launch of YOUR new product and that anticipation will have been built (and genuinely earned) through the content that youve provided us with so far.

Nice site youve got here and some good links that youve included too, so as the saying goes: “i’ll be back!”

Meanwhile, as pleasant and as interesting as my stay here has been, i need to get back to hunting down that new WP theme.

Bye for now…

ps – just did a quick ‘back, back, back’ to find out where i actually did come from and it turns out it was page 1 of google when searching for the phrase “best wordpress themes”, so well done you for your SEO expertise and i hope this SEO feedback is useful to you.

My wife thinks I’m lazy. ‘All you do is sit around all day playing with your computer’ – She doesn’t understand – yet. She’ll change her tune when I whisk her away to St Lucia next year tho. Its hard work being this lazy

I’m glad you see those cheap exploit-you-websites the same way I always have, annoying and obvious. And how do they always find the most annoying layouts/color schemes? That’s their true skill, not marketing.

Max;

Funny thing is, I never realized I was lazy until it was shown to me. I always felt I was a hard worker at whatever I did.

Then one day, I was show that wasn’t the case. Now I strive to work harder at everything I do, and you are right, the results come a lot faster when you set goals and work towards them.

Cheers

You’re doing a great job since taking over this blog. Your writing has a sincere tone to it and very motivational, tempered with great common sense. When one overdelivers, the good karma always comes to the person. You’re spot on with this post. Your other posts are just as enlightening as this one. I can’t say that for most of the other so-called A-list blogs and from some guru wannabes.

On time. On point. Well stated.
I’ll get back to let you know about my over-deliveries

Thanks!

Rupert Murdoch said that the most successful people are the ones who give $1 worth of work for 25 cents.

I couldn’t agree with you more on the mindless comments that so many bloggers think will turn into traffic. “It’s all just a numbers game”, they say.

It’s not just a numbers game. In fact, it’s not a game. It’s a decathlon and numbers is just one of the events.

There’s no substitute for quality in ANY business. Government is another story (that’s what I blog about).

PS: This is a great bloggers blog.
