I didn't address your question properly regrading my MWR, (most wanted response) which is to engage my visitors/readers and prompt them to post comments etc. I want visitors to like us at Facebook, follow at Twitter, and numerous social networks to help the site go viral. Above and beyond that I also want to engage the media to one degree or another who may want to post PRs or links to their commentary. Whether Mr. Trump actually becomes a serious contender this election cycle or not the buzz will still be out there as well as all the lateral issues the site will focus on.
Re: Great start, but no finish - Hi Guys, I always, always recommend a starter upper read THe E-Myth by Michael Gerber. Many of those that decide to start something dont realize how much work, and how multifaceted running and building a real company is. This books shows people the ins and outs in a simple and effective way. As far as commitment goes, they have to be willing to become lifelong learners. If they arent willing to do that, I have very little hope in their businesses getting past the 1 year mark. There's alot of self reflection that has to go into starting a business, and recreating your life essentially. I also recommend books and resources like The Success Principles by Jack Canfield.
