BzzReport by DeborahBoyer

As you can probably notice from my buzz reports I am involved as an entrepreneur and consultant with growing businesses and "those that serve growing businesses" in Kentucky and Ohio. (and yes we do have businesses that are growing and growing rapidly).

I am chairman of a group that is launching a start-up contest next year, so I am speaking to a number of groups about start ups, supporting them and starting them. I am able to use Guy's book as an example of the mind set we need to foster in those we think have growth potential.

In late november, I was asked to speak to a group about the upcoming contest. Since our web site is currently undergoing a redesign, I chose to use Guy's book as the backbone of the speech.

I covered the main 5 points, and then really focused on the mini chapter - the mensch one.

Maybe it is the season, but people really got excited about it and the discussion at the end was focused on the balance between giving and getting.

I saw a number of people right down things that I was saying, and I gave out a sheet with the book title (among other things) on it.

A young accountant and I were talking and he asked how I might suggest he give back to his clients - I suggested he give a couple of the copies of Guy's book.

I told him it would show them that first he was thinking of them, and second he expected great things out of them!

He said he would. I am going to follow up with him before Chritmas.

PS. Can you all ad spell check?
