That was such an interesting interview. You mentioned in that interview that one of your next big project is "trying to get every teacher in every public school in the US access to private investors for better materials, trips, etc." As a Behavior Specialist working for a public school system on a low SES-island in the Pacific Ocean, I applaud your efforts and hope that you will succeed. Have a nice day. :)<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-236">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Tim: I just read your interview with Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger.Net.

It just sounded interesting. About an hour into it I realized my life would never be the same and just had to order a copy of the book from Amazon.com as well. Now I have finished listening to the book and need to order a few more copies to give to friends and family. Thank you so much. Your ideas have done more to improve my attitude than the Lexipro that I have been taking for the last couple of years just to get through the day.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-235">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Hey Tim,

Why not enjoy some life while you're still young? Can't wait to read the book.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-232">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I’ve long thought the idea of waiting to travel and retire until you’re in your sixties is ridiculous.

I just ordered my copy from Amazon.com and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. As an entrepeneur and writer myself, I am thrilled for your success. There IS hope for the rest of us. Congratulations. I can't wait to start getting more done in less time. *Elizabeth<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-229">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Tim,
