For The Interested - Here's what you missed…
Looks like you may have missed last week's FOR THE INTERESTED newsletter so I wanted to send it to you again in case it got lost in your inbox.
Have a great weekend!

Every week I send this newsletter and every week (hopefully) you read it.
But if you're like most people, you're probably a bit of a lurker.
Most people don't spread the word about things...even if they find them valuable.
If you fall into that category, I've got two things to say to you:
1. I appreciate your interest and love you for reading even if you never tell anyone about this newsletter.
2. But if you want to take a break from lurking and tell someone you know about this newsletter, today's a great day to do it!
Thanks in advance.
Now, on to this week's ideas...
