Warning: There is some sarcasm in this response.

Mike (in the interest of full disclosure he’s my business partner in ColorMetrix),

1. It is very real for a customer to have unrealistic expectations. – The customer in fact is always right even when they are wrong.

2. The customer authentically wants what they want and they want it now. (Just as we want their check and we want it yesterday).

3. A sustainable business is in fact created by finding authentic ways to exceed unrealistic (but real) expectations on a regular basis.

I got a call from my business partner who said he needed me to stop working on one project (which I have been working gangbusters on for 12+ months) in order to jump over to another project which needs to be done right away.

Should I tell him that that’s not real nor sustainable?

Please advise.

Joe (yes folks -it’s the Joe in the blog post), thank you. I just figured out that like my good friend Kevin who helped me through some rough times earlier this year, you get more out of this than me (makes me want to use my twitter #givetoget hastag).

Anne, Thank you – you, your connection with #fitmke I can’t even put into words what you have meant to me. I latched onto your blog several months ago and I was like, damn she just hangs it out there, and then I met you. You are the epitome of real authentic and sustainable. I hope you meet Rachel from Twitter soon, she’s awesome.

Everyone else – #4 above…just got back from there spent 2 hours having a cocktail and talking with the session chair who invited me down here. I’m telling you this life is attainable. (sometimes I type this stuff to convince myself).

Fun title! I was hooked right away. This post got me excited! Not in that way!!! It is well written and you have a great topic. I feel like it’s right up my alley. I while ago I posted about just doing what I love and being happy and the rest comes naturally. Reading about how you made your passion come alive inspires me. And makes me want a cleaning lady!

So fun to read this, watching this happen to you is so motivating, your writing does a good job to inspire in and of itself. It only gets better from here, for sure. I know that both Gary V and Tim Ferriss would be proud of your get up and go!
