This is probably one of the "I'm debt free" posts that I didn't want to end. Amazing job!

After you told me this morning that you paid off your entire debt I thought hey maybe it was the logo I designed for you that got you there quicker. :)

 

Congrats. I am so happy for you guys.

Ha, ha; thanks, guys for your kind words.

Khaleef thanks for the link – it is probably time for me to learn a bit more about all that.

Dom – means a lot; so was it the paying off the debt or the writing that kept you reading?

Jai – it helped in variety of ways (one being that I can't wait to get on TMP and work to make it better; and people have been noticing :)).

 

Now I am off for a run and then the long flight back to the UK.

Maria,

 

I would say both, but I'm giving the edge to your writing style. I like your conversational style, it's like we were in a coffee shop and you were breaking everything down for me.

Ha, ha! You were not joking when we told the world that we want to make £2.5 million in five years. Impossible is nothing :).
