For example, I've already answered the hair question on previous blog posts and in my books, but the "thinkers" don't bother to do any research or get the facts. They just criticize. I rarely attract them or approve them, but I'll let yours stand. Blessings, joe Eamonn, most “critical thinkers” are more critical than thinkers.

More seriously, how come you can’t attract critical thinkers? Do you think their bullshot meter goes off when they read your text? How come you can’t attract hair to your head?

Especially good for ad writing. Did I include a call to action? Did I include somewhere to click? Did I tell them how they benefit. Yep. Yep, checklists.

I also used to get laughed at when making my 'to-do lists'. People used to say there was something seriously wrong with me when they saw I made a list for almost every project I put my hands on (not that I cared haha...). Today I couldn't agree more that making them keeps me motivated and stops procrastinating once and for all! :) Thank you again Dr Vitale! PS. I hope you received my e-mail regarding the idea for a new CD :) Have a magical day! Eve Thank you for sharing this. I also used to get laughed at when making my ‘to-do lists’.

Im my business we recently completed a whole operations review, where we updated our systems completely from A to Z. It took months! We then created checklists for the operations. Creating systems/checklists can be a really tedious task to start with but it pays back in spades later. If you're business owner or info-marketer, you've got to do this! Thanks for sharing the book doc, I've already ordered it when you first mentioned it on twitter. BTW, I recently wrote a blog post on the "Remarkable Importance of Systems" for entrepreneurs, might be of interest: http://www.suhailalgosaibi.com/2010/01/06/the-remarkable-importance-of-systems/ Thanks for everything you do Joe.
