I can't tell you how many times I've gotten emails from people in my industry (Business Intelligence) who have sent emails that look like a pre-schooler sent them. What's worse is when I've received these emails from people coming to me looking for a job. About the quickest way to fail in that attempt.

You'd be surprised how many resumes I've received that fail to use correct capitalization and punctuation too!

Great podcast as ever. Wanted to let you know that I have now listened to your podcast on 3 different continents and in 5 different countries (Brazil, Uruguay, USA – both East and West coasts, UK and now in Spain). My wife and I have been traveling the last 7 months with our now 10 month old son.

One idea for a future podcast I had was how to keep your spirits up and motivation levels high when everything seems to be going off plan. One of the ways I have done this is by listening to your (and other) podcast to try and get some helpful ideas for solving / avoiding problems.

Keep up the great work.

I am just starting an e-commerce site selling XXX na not going to tell, but it's a great untapped market online here in Aussie land and I don't want someone crushing me at it. Just yesterday I hired a a lady from the Philippines full time..after signing up to John Jonas membership site. So I'm really at the beginning of this adventure.

I can't remember which podcast episode it was but the best bit of advice I'm taking from you guys right now is to get a blog up and gather together an audience of people who will want to buy from the website once it's open.

I feel super confident in most of the website side of all this, but how do I go about approaching suppliers to sell their products when I have nothing to show them yet? That's my main concern right now. Cheers Guys, and your podcast may be good with a beer, I prefer it over music when walking the dog. Take Care. G

In terms of talking about our businesses we might start doing that eventually. Probably within the year. Right now its a big liability. Perhaps you can get me on the phone sometime and we can discuss

The Pomodoro Technique is something that I've used in the past. Not a huge fan. I used to be into productivity systems and such but really figured out that the best one is to just do what you have to do. That's it. Just do it. If you don't want to, really evaluate whether or not you need to be doing it or not. The best productivity system I've ever used is eliminating distractions. It really gets more to the roof of the problem. Glad it's working well for you though!

And I have question for future episodes… Will you ever be revealing what market(s) you're in? I'd like to see a live site that you guys actually work on. I understand it's quite a big thing to ask for, but hey, worth a shot

Keep up the good work guys!

I'm lovin' the promodoro technique. This is the timer tool I use. http://www.focusboosterapp.com/

Once again, great podcast!

I liked how Dan's tip last week was to delete emails and Ian's this week was answer them 24/7. I don't know which policy to follow!

A funny twist on the “sent from my iPhone” tagline I've seen is “sent from my iPad nano.” It's a little tongue in cheek way to acknowledge your'e sending it from your iPhone, but overall I think the best route is to just get rid of it in general.

Egg Timer is great. I've been looking for something like this so I can try out the pomodoro technique. I actually found this specific link that does the pomodoro cycles. Check it out –

Sorry for the long comments, but great show as always.
