<p>Liz,</p>
<p>I learned a couple things very fast after I laid off my Boss back in 2007.  I knew that what I was about to get into was something very unfamiliar to me and scared the heck out of me. I had just walked into my Boss&#8217;s office and told him I wasn&#8217;t going to need him anymore and it was because of something I knew nothing about.  I just gave up pretty much everything that was familiar to me and it was the only way of supporting my financial needs I knew. </p>
<p>I knew if I was going to survive at all I needed to do the following.</p>
<p>Find the people that really cared if I succeeded or not and not just out for themselves.  Out of all my JV Partners I had with my first launch not too many actually fit that bill.  You my Friend and my son Keith and a half a dozen others were the only ones left on the list after my product launch of Layoff Your Boss!</p>
<p>Not saying the rest are bad&#8230; but I knew If I was going to survive I had to follow those I felt I could count on when I needed them. I will honestly say that their are not to mnay I feel like I can depend on&#8230;</p>
<p>Next I knew I needed to model success&#8230; but not just any kind of success&#8230; It had to be those I seen as being successful in 3 different areas.</p>
<p>1. They had to be actually making the money they were saying they were.</p>
<p>2. They had to be always giving all the value they possibly could to those that came to them for help without holding back&#8230;or<br />
expecting anything in return (My way of giving back to you for all you did for me was to become the best I could be with what<br />
I learned from you.)</p>
<p>Of course I am not talking about continually giving to those that just come along to suck the very life out of ya and are not willing<br />
to or wanting to add value back into your life in return.   There comes a time when you have to let some people go that just continue<br />
to never do anything but whine and complain your not doing enough for them.</p>
<p>You may not feel you did much for me in the beginning&#8230; but you did.  You added a product to mine as a bonus&#8230; Of course I<br />
know now it benefited you as well.  LOL!</p>
<p>You added a testimonial to my sales page without even knowing anything about me&#8230;</p>
<p>And last of all you encouraged me through emails&#8230; I seen you as someone that was unselfish and  really wanted to help me&#8230;<br />
If that was not the case I don&#8217;t need to know anything different <img src='http://bizmodelguru.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>3.  The 3rd quality was someone that had a genuine positive mindset (or so good at faking it I couldnt tell LOL!) and someone that<br />
was Always looking for ways to grow and better their personal lives and their business to higher levels of success and doing their<br />
best to bring others along on the journey with them</p>
<p>I watched you go through personal struggles in your life and you had the courage and the strength to pull it all together and you came out<br />
stronger and better on the other side.  Of course you had a lot of help with this one.  Lots of people praying for you and a good husband<br />
willing to work on things with you side by side.</p>
<p>People with those kind of qualities I watch over their shoulder like a hawk my friend&#8230; You notice I am still watching you almost 3 years later <img src='http://bizmodelguru.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Because of this you notice I did not just make a quick bunch of money and then quit like most figured I would.  Seems I chose very<br />
wisely when it came to mentors to follow&#8230; and that is why I continue to watch!<br />
Thanks Liz and I look forward to 2010&#8230;  The eyes of Mr. wellman are upon you <img src='http://bizmodelguru.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Happy New Years to you and Jamie!</p>
<p>I love you guys.</p>
<p>Jeff</p>
