Ray,
Thanks for the excellent podcast! I especially appreciated the admonition to guard your heart. The book of Proverbs is full of warnings about what happens when this advice is not heeded.
The degree to which you guard your heart will have an almost immeasurable income on your relationships, health, and happiness… and if that is not enough, probably on your financial condition too.
Keep it up!

@darrelhawes Amen, Darrell!
The tip of real life testimonies to take away the ‘scary’ factor in a subject is great. The key seems to me to be real life testimonials…not something that seems made up.
One idea to do this…ask the person to tell why they were skeptical or doubted this was for them…then how it turned out after moving forward.
Great job again Ray!
@dhammett Yes, it takes a bit of work and elegance to make sure your testimonials are believable. The best testimonials are done using video.
Ray, I can’t believe you missed the chance to plug your book! Connie Reagan Green asked about bullet points…you have some really great material to help with that in your book, Writing Riches.
Since you recommended Schwartz…I thought I would have to say something.
@dhammett Well, thanks for making sure I didn’t miss the opportunity!
