- Jack,
Just noticed you joined 48Days.net -- WELCOME! It's a great site with tons of great people.
If you happen to be a speaker or author (or want to become either), check out the following groups. They are two of the most popular groups on the site because of all the great conversation taking place.
* Speak It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Speakers!
* Write It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Writers!
One other thing…I want to offer you a gift. You can download my FR EE e-resource entitled Goal-Setting That Actually Works! by joining the REAL Success E-Zine community at www.liveitforward.com. It's a growing and dynamic community of people striving to live WAY BEYOND their average in the most important roles of their lives. I think you'll get a ton out of both the Goal-Setting product and the REAL Success E-Zine. And again, both are absolutely free.
Looking forward to connecting with you!
Live it forward,
Kent Julian

- Hello Jack,
Welcome to the community. You'll find this to be a pretty good place to make new friends and exchange ideas.
One of the benefits that make this community hum has to do with the rich diversity of interest groups from which to choose.
If you're looking for calling and purpose in your work and life, you have definitely connected with the right bunch of folks. We have, by far, the best and the brightest minds on earth within this community! .
As you will quickly find, we have a wide variety of topics to choose from. I am certain you will be connecting in no time at all. Reason being; connecting great folks is one of the main purposes of this community.
Just one tip I would offer; in order to connect more efficiently with other members, you will want to post some more info, such as your goals, skills, what your most passionate about, etc.
If you have any questions along the way, make sure to email either Joel Boggess or myself. Joel is on the advisory team as well.
We're glad you joined.
