Whatever they can imagine for themselves, they can accomplish.

Rules are sometimes a problem when you’re a creative entrepreneur.

The MBA thing doesn’t matter sometimes. That’s common sense.

Everything you need to know about success is inside of you, because I believe it is inside of all of us. That is, all human beings have potential for infinite success.

Facebook application - Hi Kevin - thanks for the suggestion! The two that we were thinking of were Famous Entrepreneur Quotes and Which famous entrepreneur am I most like? I like your idea as well. We've got a rollout schedule of new features for the site that we are working on first before we can get to the Facebook app. We're also not sure how hard it is to integrate into Facebook. It looks like there is a php way to do it which is great because that is our core competency.

[/quote:36s714h1] So far my own foray into Facebook has been a complete bust, though I expected that from the start. But if I do an Application for my own particular field of interest, such as Your Favorite Sci Fi movie...that might get people going.

Re: EC Forums Mentioned in the Financial Post - Hi Russell, Omnivore, The ads are in to try and make it a sustainable community. As the article suggests, most forums that get started, never get anywhere so it's a credit to Kevin and the moderators who have helped make the site a success. I haven't made any money from the forums for over a year (nor is it my intention to at the moment) - all the money right now that the forums generate go to support the forums and make it even better. The ads are also only big for non-registered users (as you experienced before logging in Russell). We get a lot of people who visit the forums but never participate - they take but never give anything back so this is a way that they can help contribute back to make the forums more successful. When you log in as a member the big ads disappear.
