Loved Jay’s critical point about writing his book The Now Revolution, and spending time on making sure it will stand the “test of time” (Jay’s words).

I think that’s one of the frustrations of any writer when they put pen to paper or fingers to keys: Will what I’m writing today have some shelf life, or will it be obsolete the moment it’s written?

Online or ebooks can be updated easily: print books, not so much. Good for Jay and Amber to have taken the time to create something that has teeth for time to come.

Great interview, especially the reminder that, in business, it does come down to the bottom line: it can’t just be about the “touchy feely” stuff. Kaarina

Thanks so much Mark: it’s my pleasure to be involved. And it’s so easy to participate when the posts are of such great value: great to consume, great to share and great to be a part of. The {grow} blog/community is my not-to-be-missed-go-to source of information and inspiration:)

Great advice since I am leaving University soon and heading out to the real world. Was recently in a social media pitch and I notice companies will always start with how many fans/followers they can get. Its the “who got the biggest penis” thing. Companies will always want to have more than their competitors and its normal.

You just plowed some new ground here Aaron! : ) Thanks for the comment!

Didn’t they ever learn it’s about the measurement of quality and not the measurement of quantity?

I’m still stuck on the whole penis thing. I think that is some kind of a milestone here : )

Double amen. : )

Some of your favorites? OK Clayman I’ll just have to work harder. : )

Well companies will always want to be shinier, bigger, better etc, Guess it just needs time for them to realized that “its how you use it” that satisfy your lady…. uhh.. i mean customer!

Thanks Rosemary!

EXACTLY!

Thanks so much. Get back to me in 5 years about the book’s relevance, but we tried very hard to make it something that will stand some sort of time test.

Yes, and then we would move on to Mitch Joel. ; )

This used to be such a nice, family-oriented blog : )

Fantastic to see you on vid for the first time Mark. Great interview too

Dear both,

After having read the Tao of Twitter and receiving the NOW Revolution a few days ago I thought to take this opportunity to come up with my personal video message to Jay.

Glad to be part of this great community.

Take care,
Claude

Just saw this video response and I love this Claude. I think you’re on to something here. Such a nice personal touch. I wish more people took the time to do this … including me : )

This is what is so great about you Mark. You’re a smart guy, great writer, ultra successful—-yet know how to play the role of student and listener….something many of the very, very successful people in our field simply don’t share.

And as a blogger wanting to write a book, the end question was nice as well.

Well done sir and a big thanks to Jay as well.

I enjoyed this a lot guys. In many respects this is what I mean when consultants show what they do and who they are instead of telling people about it. Video content like this is so valuable.

Great stuff!

I don’t give my allegiance to just anyone, but in addition to being a devoted {grow} community member, I’m proud to announce I’m now a Jay Baer groupee.

LoL!! oopss! did i screw things up!

Amazing write-up! This could aid plenty of people find out more about this particular issue. Are you keen to integrate video clips coupled with these? It would absolutely help out. Your conclusion was spot on and thanks to you; I probably won’t have to describe everything to my pals. I can simply direct them here!
