hehe, thanks Leigh! I guess I shouldn’t have stated it was Seth Godin’s term. But he did make it popular. :)

And, of course, had I read this link, I would have seen that’s exactly what he explains. Sigh. Whoops. Ignore me. I’m not done with my first cup of coffee yet.

Just found you via an @evbogue re-tweet about 101 Lessons Learned…I’m turning 29 this year so it resonates deeply – keep up the awesome work!

While Godin may reference the lizard brain, it’s not his term. Comes from the psych concept that we all have a reptilian part of our brain, very base & instinctual, self-protective, reactive. Fascinating stuff.

Hi Thekla,

While the worst that can happen is more than nothing, I agree with your sentiment. :) It’s definitely better to do than fret/whine!

Thanks!

There’s not much to lose when the worst that can happen is nothing right? Well, that and some time invested, but better to invest time doing than time fretting about not doing, right? :)

I just used a secondary email address and it worked fine! So, who knows why an email to me at AOL got blocked and I didn’t get notified. Thanks for your help.

Hmm…the subject line starts with Response Required and it’s sent from aweber.com not from my site.

I just logged into my Aweber account and it says the confirmation message has been sent. I’m sending you an e-mail right now. :)

I got the email notification that you commented on my comment and it didn’t go to Spam. I check that folder religiously, so that isn’t the issue. Still haven’t seen either of the signup confirmations.

Thanks Dan! The free eBay course was called Auction Success Guide. :)

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for signing up! You have AOL? It’s in your Spam folder I’ll bet. (AOL is notorious for filtering the wrong stuff.)

Let me know if you see it!

Thanks,
Karol
