One of my favorite things about the holiday season is hearing from people who have been busily making the world a better place. This past week, has been filled with all sorts of reconnections with people I don\u2019t hear from on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

There was a newsy Christmas card from Marty Marsh<\/a> sharing his adventures as an RVing entrepreneur. A hand written letter came from a woman I’ve never met thanking me for telling her about Make the Impossible Possible<\/em><\/strong>. Besides the cards and letters, there were several fascinating telephone conversations with fellow entrepreneurs.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Although I thought I already had plenty of holiday spirit, these encounters added to my cheerfulness.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n On Saturday, I had a fun Skype chat with Maureen Thomson. I hadn\u2019t talked to her since she moved from Denver to the Oregon coast. Not only did she fill me in on how much she was loving her new home, but her wedding ceremonies business, Lyssabeth\u2019s<\/a>, is booming too.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It was thrilling to hear about the growth of Maureen\u2019s business, of course, but since I\u2019ve been tracking her progress for a long time, it wasn\u2019t a huge surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The surprise came a few hours later when I got an e-mail from Mark Anthony, a fellow I\u2019d encountered years ago in Minnesota. Mark and I had met briefly when he invited me to keynote at a home business conference he organized. After that, we’d kept in touch sporadically, but not regularly. I knew that he had moved to Las Vegas, but we hadn\u2019t really been in touch here.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n So, of course, I was curious to hear what he had on his mind. He contacted me to tell me that he\u2019d written a blog post called An Open Letter to Barbara Winte<\/a><\/em>r<\/em>. Of course, that got my attention and I promptly checked it out. I urge you to do the same. Mark\u2019s story contains a startling confession…and a reminder that if we\u2019re growing a business the learning never ends.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 One of my favorite things about the holiday season is hearing from people who have been busily making the world a better place.
