Now I am not even sure if you d ever reply to this when you re playing with spiders in Uruguay but I need your help.I hardly have anything to offer in return in traditional money wise .I meanI assume what I can pay would be trivial for you ... I am a turkish female, 33, living in LA at the moment and has to work out this medical tourism business for Turkey. It's my passion to help these uninsured americans suffering from joint pains and cant afford to have surgery here(I personally suffer a bit from aching knees )So I have a great niche marketing project .All the others try to do all operations in a lot of different countries.Anyway this is a very rewarding but hard work .I just need to optimize web skills (which I currently have none )which would help me to make a good start. What can you suggest me to do ?Like I said my budget is pretty limited for the time being but if my website starts off well the budget will not be a problem in the coming 12 months. I d be extremely grateful if you can refer me to people that can help me to start marketing my website(someone is already making the actual site now ) or if you are interested in the subject yourself (that d be the big thing in the coming ten years outsourcing medical care globally)you can join in too. Anyhow I already wrote too much....with the hope that you will actually read this mail and respond ...have safe travels back home .....fazilet Hi Tim

Your focus on the 80/20 principle and only working on what matters from start to stop without distraction have been among the ideas that most impacted me this year. I read the 4-Hour Workweek at least twice, and often skim it when I feel I'm losing direction in my goals or wasting too much time. It's a good refresher to focus on what really achieves results with intense focus and let the rest slide--I constantly need that reminder. Great book. Merry Christmas, Jesse Tim,
