Why an Engineer Created a Marriage Website: My Book Review of "No More Mondays"
Posted on October 14, 2009 at 9:01am 1 Comment 0 Likes
As members of this site, it is probably safe to assume that many of you have already read Dan's bestseller No More Mondays. However, we probably each have a different take on the book's purpose and impact based on the circumstances in our life at the time that we read it.
For me, my reading of No More Mondays came at a time when I really needed it. No, my "day job" was not sucking the life out of me, and I wasn't in any particular rut at work. Instead, I was trying to… Continue

Derek Sisterhen said… - Hey Dustin,
Thanks for the response and for joining Clearing the Hurdle. I, too, have a passion for the niche you described - engaged and young married couples. I'm currently working on a book specifically centered on financial unity for that specific market, which should be out early next year.
I love the idea of doing some speaking and training workshops. There's a tremendous opportunity to encourage folks at that stage in life to stay out of the trap of being "normal" and instead thriving in their marriage.
My personal blog is Get Busy Living, though you'll find regular posts from me in my weekly newsletter Reader's Group.
I'd love to continue bouncing ideas back and forth with you.

- Hey Dustin - I was checking out your website. I, too, have a passion for married folks - though I approach them through their wallets!
Let me know your plans for the Engaged Marriage website and that niche your appealing to; I'd love to learn more.
You can find me floating around the Clearing the Hurdle group here, if you're interested in joining.

This means, of course, that I am pretty much addicted to the iPhone. I use the iBlueSky mind mapping software to capture useful ideas any time they come along..
