		<description>John,

I think it's come full circle.  You said: "Back when I finally took that first step on the path to success, there was almost ZERO guru help available."

Problem now is there's too many gurus.  Most of them just dump stuff out and leave it to us to make of it what we will.  I'm getting better at implementing, but I'm not there yet.

Personally, if someone gave me more of a roadmap, or any kind of map that would help me know where to "fill-in-the-blanks" I'd pay far more attention to them.

I know I've got a lot to learn, but I don't know the extent of my ignorance.  Also, the problem in most of the feedback you received was one of overwhelm.  The roadmap would definitely help.

Don't know if such a beast is possible though.

		<description>looks like John's rant worked.

We've got a few more people joined up.

And no-one's said a bad thing about it so far.</description>

		<description>I hit about 80% on my 21 day goal of daily language study. I think I'll do better if I consistently set aside quality time earlier in the day rather than whatever's left over. Good to know.

It's also helpful to acknowledge that I don't have to finish every book I start. It's probably from that same "finish everything on your plate" ethic.</description>

		<description>Hi John -

I just joined the Rant last month.  So far, I'm loving it (just posted my first comments on the forum tonight).  I'll have questions and copy to critique, too.  And needless to say I'm very psyched about your upcoming call with Rich Schefren - I shall put my thinking cap on for questions.

The question I've been asking myself is, "Why did I wait so long to join the Rant coaching club?"  I've devoured your stuff in the past and your outlook and approach has always resonated with me.

So why did I wait so long?  I pondered this for a bit before coming to a conclusion, which I'll post here in the hopes of helping someone else.

There came a certain point where the need to FOCUS really hit me.  Instead of trying to follow everyone, I sought out a couple of coaches I trusted and resonated with and worked with their stuff.  Implemented, got some results, course corrected, etc.

And now working with you feels like the next step for me, and I'm incredibly grateful that there is an affordable option to do it.  So, like Donna, I re-arranged, dropping some things to make some space.

Like Donna said, it's all about priorities.  Self-assessment to see where we're at and where we want to be.  What's the best way to get there?  Make that decision, then act.</description>
