		<description>Hey Beth! Thanks for stopping by as well! :) 
That is awesome that a relationship has started all because of something as simple as Twitter! I hope that continues to grow for you... and you continue to get mentioned in other people&#039;s blogs! ;)

Keep up the great work Beth! Oh... we still need to meetup sometime too! I am in your neck of the woods all the time.</description>

		<description>Paul,

So many good things in this one video, but I&#039;ll limit myself to commenting on just one. 

Yes, it&#039;s amazing who you can connect with, just by being a genuine and authentic admirer of theirs. I followed Bob Burg on Twitter some time ago and he followed me back - but that&#039;s the kind of networker he is. More &quot;listen&quot; than &quot;talk.&quot; Still, he&#039;s got a LOT of fans so I just about fell over when I realized that he had commented on my blog!

The conversation has continued (he mentioned me on his blog post today) and I look forward to seeing where it will go.  All from connecting on social media.

Thanks Paul!

		<description>I totally agree with you Paul.  I actually had a face-to-face meeting with Samantha, and she totally blew me away with her insights.  I consider her a marketing genius.  She also inspired me.  Nevertheless, what is the point of online connections if you can&#039;t leverage them in person?

		<description>Thank you Samantha! You know it&#039;s so true... I have really found out in all areas of life, if it doesn&#039;t cost you anything, you don&#039;t appreciate it. 

Take eBooks... I have a TON of Free ebooks sitting in my computer that I have never read... But the ones I paid for, I read... and some more than once! :)

Well I hope you enjoy future sunglasses/car/business growth videos!

Keep up the great work Samantha! :)</description>

		<description>Paul, thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on transcending entrepreneurial isolation syndrome.  I have to second your opinion about paid masterminds vs the equivalent of a pick-up basketball game of masterminding.  I know there are exceptions for very experienced masterminders, but for those just starting out, there is nothing like a paid mastermind group in which you know *someone* is paid to ensure the group meets, achieves goals and functions properly.  I signed up and look forward to more of your car-sunglasses-business growth videos!
