The H.E.A.R.T. of Business

Wow. I am amazed at the results of the survey I sent out last month. Would you believe that when it comes to frequency, it is pretty much a three-way tie between my sending it out once a month with lots of links, twice a month with half as many links and weekly with a focus on one or two links?

I must say I really expected there to be a clear winner on that one.

That said, only a small fraction of the entire readership completed the survey. Because the survey is antonymous, I don't know if you were one of the few or you didn't complete it. I'd really like to get a good representation of my readership before making my decision about changes to this newsletter. Would you please take just a minute or two to let me know your preferences?

I did make one change to the survey ... now only one question is required. So if you started it and stopped because you didn't want to answer three questions, then you can now just answer the one that is most important to me ... how many times do you want to receive this newsletter in a month?

Oh, and just as a reminder, you are receiving The H.E.A.R.T. of Business because you subscribed at one of my business-related websites. This newsletter provides tips, information and advice to help you build and maintain the H.E.A.R.T. in your business ... so you can truly say, "I Love My Business!"
