Thank God for Helpful People

Jennifer and I had coffee this afternoon with our new best friend Susan, who is going to be one of those illustrious few who can consider themselves Impetus employees. Currently, that group is a mighty one strong. And I'm so greatful for her help that I wouldn't be suprised if she makes her way into my will--whenever such a document exists.

It's really amazed me how many wonderful people like Susan we've come across since starting this venture. From Richard Nash to the folks at KGB to our authors, we've been blessed to come in contact with people more than willing to offer their help or, in the case of our authors, to work with us on every level and to do so gladly. But strangely enough, this good luck has not crossed over to the professional relationships we have with companies that we actually have to pay rather large sums of money to, like our distributor, for example. It has taken, amazingly enough, 2 whole days and way too many emails (and a few snotty ones) to find out how much we would need to pay them for one of their services. One would think they'd give up such info more freely. But I can't really complain too much as they do sell our books and at the end of the day, that is their primary job. But still . . .
