I removed the dollar amounts per your request.

Dave let me go because he felt I was focusing on SEO tools and scalability rather than actually doing client work. To be honest, I think he was sound in that judgment.

Ironically I was hired at Orange Soda, Inc. for the same reason Dave let me go. They wanted someone who could help make tools and do client work. They increased my pay, benefits, gave me a better work environment (I need lots of people around me, I am very extroverted), and gave me clarity in my job description. All of which I would could not see my life without.

I have never been let go before, nor would I have suspected that I would have been hired for the same reason I was let go for and get an increase in pay and benefits.

Life is an amazing adventure. Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom in your book!

Cheers,

-Bart

I know you didnt mean any harm, but you dont have business posting corporate financial information unless you are 100% sure you know what you are talking about, since you dont in this case you should remove those type of references.

Thanks on my book. You are my only fan The pdf online is actually updated and better for your friend to read.

Why dont you work with Dave any more? Also feel free to help (email removed) if you like our work.

Peace

I am very sorry that I misrepresented any information about you or WebTargeted. Please inform me of what information I misrepresented so I may correct my post with facts. I will eagerly await your email and promptly correct mistakes per your request. My intention was to create a positive rather than negative buzz about your newly acquired company. I admire you for spending money on the domain “Seo.com” and believe you will do extremely well because of such a url. I work as an SEO specialist and consider myself entrepreneurial. In all honesty, I am slightly jealous that seo.com was purchased because it decreases the chances of ever acquiring such a great domain name for myself.

I have the utmost respect for you as an entrepreneur and social giver. Your GrassRoots.org project is a wonder to behold. Dave Bascom is also one I hold in this light. You see I am not just any blogger:

I am a student of Entrepreneurs and have had many mentors: Rick Farr, Paul Allen, Chris Finken, and Mitch Huhem to name a few. I was hoping to add you to the list when you purchased WebTargeted.

Dave gave me your book titled “Make Millions and Make Change!” I have read it cover to cover, making notes in the margins. I put it on my office book shelf on display so the executives (OrangeSoda Inc. CEO Jay Bean, you know Ah-Ha.com, Enhance, Marchex) would see it. They did, Derek Miner picked it up and said “Wow, can I borrow this?” I said sure. I then proceeded to order him his own copy via your website http://www.knowledgeispower.org. He is looking forward to receiving it in the mail.

I have owned over half a million in real estate at age 19, won third place in a business plan competition, started a business plan competition at my college, read many business plans and prospectuses. Its true I may have limited knowledge when it comes to mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

I also use to work at WebTargeted and have first hand information from Dave about things, however I did not confirm any “facts” with Dave before posting this blog post.

Cheers,
