are you throwing darts at it, vincent?!

as for juggling, that was indeed real juggling. i`ve taught thousands of people to juggle (back when we were distributing and marketing the juggling kit the article talks about).

should we organize a SUN juggling class? juggling torches, maybe?

we`re all playing with fire as entrepreneurs anyway...

I found SUN through Costco, too.  I`m a member, and I`ve been working with Costco for some time, introducing additional no-cost payment processing efficiencies for their business members. 

It`s great to communicate with other entrepreneurs!

degrees! true! but even beyond that, demand ramped up so big that we had the skins being flown in from London to our assembler in China and we had containers of African millet (the filling) being shipped across the Indian Ocean to the port in China. once all the materials were there, the Chinese would make the balls, print our insert (with the humor- and philosophy-filled instructions), and THEN that would be put on a container and shipped across the pacific (then trucked across the US) to FOB Detroit.

all for juggling balls...

We have an almost equally complicated process for supplying our salivating (literally) buyers with custom engraved sterling silver chewing tobacco lids!  Amazing what gymnastics we will go through in the service of our dear customers.

Alright, count me in. I too am here because of the Costco spread.   I need to learn all I can from those who have gone before me!

Well Costco was not my way in. However, my friend who called me up in the middle of the day telling me to log on found you through Costco... Call me a second hand junkie!

I am finding this site very useful indeed!

I found it when I got the mail for the office.  I found the article in the bosses edition.  I made a copy of "The Sloan Seven."  I am sooooo glad I did.  It was the greatest article I have ever read.  Rich, I truly felt like you and jeff were speaking directly to me saying, "Hey Bill!  The time is here!  your time is now!"  I can`t thank you enough.  Okay, that`s enough ego boosting.  Seriously, this is exactly what I have been looking for.

bill,

the compliment goes to CostCo for their vision to put the right material in front of their loyal customers - we`re just doing our work! and the article was really well-written, don`t you think?

I am also here because of the Costco Connection.  I am, however, ashamed to admit that I knew about SUN long before.  I just never took the time to really check it out.  I should be shot...
