You need to create a buzz. Do a live podcast. Preferably with clothes on, although Daniele who posted above may disagree with that assessment. Give a once weekly State of the Donovan address.

From your Blog and comment 1 - I would imagine that the secret really is "It's who you know, not what you know". Reading the website for The Secret, I would imagine that the secret really is - milk people's money while the source is hot - for now you can read the secret book, go to various flavours of secret seminars as well as download the secret movie. This item reminds me of one of the most requested TV clips from the CBC - they did a documentary about dieting - the clip said "Its success is completely based on your failure" or something like that. I think that if everyone thought positively, they would not all be millionaires - there will always be poor and/or middle class citizens. If there weren't any of these people, the secret would not be able to milk them for their last $4.95.

I will teach them to you, although I am not sure you are ready for their power. The question you must ask yourself Grasshopper, is whether you are willing to accept the mantle of awesomeness destined to be bestowed upon you. If you are, then our training can begin. If you are not, then you are destined for a world of fast food mediocrity. I have learned some incredible new training techniques from a monk I met from Tibet.

So one day working at 2nd cup in Ottawa at the ByWard Market(Workin parttime down the street from my co-op job) I always dreamt that a customer that I served would be someone important or someone cool you know?(I am very social hahaha) Anywayz I was talkin up this one business lady who happend to be VP at a company which is alligned with Blackberry and makes it the software packages and stuff!!! She was impressed that I was workin two jobs, doing well at my developer job with Enviro Canada and that Im a very talkative kinda guy at the same time she gave me her card "When you're applying next time, make sure you mention my name" And there ya have it! One goal for positive thinking and dreaming! ITs one thing to dream and think....but its another to act and work towards it :) I totally agree!

I think that you were very close to your goal. Did you actually ever start running the the UW XCountry team (maybe it was another running team from UW you were talking about)? I am glad to see that you are getting breaks from school to still do what you really want. You have inspired me. I am going to restart my little morning workouts starting tomorrow. Or maybe sometime later this week. Or maybe ... Good work, Dan. I think that you were very close to your goal.
