My post came right behind Russ's. (I think he is either a faster typer or has a more direct link to the server!!)

Russ -I love your questions. I think those would be great to incorporate into the system that I have posted here. When yours is done, we ought to combine the two. I think it would be terrific!

And, MJ, I totally respect your ability to Quick Start a business with your own entrepreneurial flair. Success doesn't always need a plan if you're really really good. And obviously you are.

I just can't keep all the moving parts straight in my head...so I need to write them down!
