John I take it you're a writer. Huh?
LOL I'm sort of that way too. I get started and don't know when to quit and I'm totally net hooked. Stop by my page sometime and have a read.

Dear John,
Thank you for the kind sentiments you posted to my g/b. I have taken you up on your offer to network with you on Linked in. I look forward to the opportunity of doing business with you in the near future. Let me know if you would like to find out more about my projects and if there is a way we can form some alliance.
God's blessings for your continued success!
Sincerely,
Denise M.

John,
Thanks for signing my Guestbook. You're the first, that makes you #1 in my book! :-)
I enjoyed reading the Newbies Step by Step Blog. You are wise beyond your years. I will try to put your suggestions into practice. Being a people person and a long time network marketer, I'm trying to adapt my enthusiasm to social networking. I have a lot to learn and I'm open to coaching.
Thanks for all you do on Ryze. You are a real asset to this site.
Take care,
Marilyn Kvasnok

Hi John,
Thanks for stopping by my page (which I've finally completed!) I'll look forward to reading more of what you're about. So far it's been useful.
All the best,
Darlene

Hello John,
Thanks for visiting my homepage and signing my guestbook. I found we have a connection when I read your page and discovered you are from New Zealand. I received an order from there in January. A buyer wanted imprinted mini-footballs for the SuperBowl party. They were referred to me by an online contact in Australia who pointed out that all their footballs are round.
Keep RYZing.
Pankaj Prakash, 07/05/05:
Hi,
Thanks for dropping by.
Maybe I might be coming to NZ to shoot a film one of these days.
If I do then I'll definitely look you up.
Meanwhile we Can always meet through these pages.
Best regards,
Pankaj
Pankaj Prakash, 07/04/05:
Hi John, just happened to discover your page via someone else's and am happy that I did, it's an honour to have had the privilege of visiting this site and going through its contents.
Spent quite a few hours going through your Blog articles as well as visiting nearly all the other links.
Please keep up the good work.

Ashish Gorde, 07/01/05:
Oh, I don't intend remaining a member of that 'privileged' network. Few friends told me about it and I couldn't believe such a group with such regressive ideas could exist and I had to go and investigate. By the way, I wrote a very scathing post and I don't even regret it. :)))
Brenda Dowswell, 06/30/05:
thank you for signing my guestbook. I'm afraid I don't have a very strong light bulb here for computer work...usually just blinking my way through....as I say ,I have 2 brains..ones lost and the other out looking for it ..hehehehhehe..cheers...BREN
RHA, 06/30/05:
Thank you, John, for coming by and for those kind words.
Let me confess that I consider myself novice through out my life :-)

Hello John,
Just Ryzing by. Your surname caught my eye as I used to know a Veitch family who live in Perth. Was just wondering if you have and relatives there. I'm also into ballroom dancing but have stopped for about 5 years now. I'm still at basic level. I hope to take it up again soon. Anyway, hope all is well with you in NZ.
Kind regards,
Alvin
Gaspare Marturano, 06/27/05:

Capt. Amit Deshpande, 06/24/05:
I'm so over whelmed after going through your page that just thinking, how many times will we have to connect so that I can learn most from your experience.
Have enabled my contacts for you. Do keep in touch.
Regards,
Amit
Gloria Daniels, 06/23/05:
Hello John,
I'm new to Ryze and online networking. Luckily,one of the first networks I am looking at is "The Virtual Handshake". There I came across your wonderful information for newbies. It will take me a while to go through it, but I will read every word. Thanks for helping me through this, and keeping me from putting my foot in my mouth!
I'm looking forward to building some great relationships.
Warmly,
Gloria
Rajesh Paleth, 06/23/05:
Hello John,
I'm quite interested in the things you've talked about. I'd really love to explore some of them further with you. As for me, I'm awfully keen on solving global puzzles, if only to see if one person can actually understand one thing about 5 billion others! I'll catch up on your writings over the next few days...meanwhile, I hope you will drop in on my page when you have the time.
Regards,
Rajesh
Vidya Viswanathan, 06/16/05:
Thanks John. I have updated the link.
Schools are meant for indoctrination. I agree whole heartedly. It is particularly bad here in India. The cover story I wrote in April for Civil society was on education.
Vidya
Joe Severa, 06/15/05:
I meant to ask you what you thought of Scott's new book about The Virtual Handshake's take on Internet Marketing & Networking, Amazon Pub.?
Thanks for visiting my Guestbook John, always nice hearing from you & lands downunder, LOL.
Regards,
Joe
Joe Severa, 06/15/05:
Nice work on that "Newbie" entry John, you perform admirably for someone so generous as to not charge fees, or do you? From what I gathered, I'm sure I could learn tons of stuff myself, & I've been online for years now.
You don't strike me as a 500 Citizens of the World type, do you wear body armor & a helmet when visiting? Just asking John.
Regards & thanks again,
Joe Severa
Zi Chew, 06/07/05:
Hi John,
Young Entrepreneurs was the network I first joined here on Ryze, and I read your advisory postings. They were very, very helpful - and though I'm still kind of finding my feet to Ryze to the occasion, I'll be up and running eventually, thanks to you!
Blessings,
Zi.

hello John,
Thank you for leaving a beautiful note on my Guestbook. I joined the network you recommended. Looks like you yourself have a lot to offer. May I request a friend's invite to you. My email is open to you, if you want to allow me.
Thank you,

Thanks for the advice. I am pretty new to this network and have a lot to learn but I am already finding it very promising indeed.

John:
Hi! Nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by and signing my guestbook! How did you come across me? I am working on the networks.....I tell you the best one I have found is the B2Bnetwork. Are you on that one? Think you enjoy it.
Hope to talk with you more.
Sincerely

Terri Higgins, 05/26/05:
Good morning John, I joined Ryze recently, and my page is still evolving as I'm learning everything. I find that the articles for newbies very important and wanted to thank-you for writing them and posting them on Ryze.
One thing I can tell you is that when I started I wanted to do everything right away. Until your articles. Now, I want to absorb and understand that wonderful information and advice. Only then will it be applied to it's fullest value. Looking forward to reading other material. One day at a time.
Be safe on your journey..........TTT...Terri
Jim Walker, 05/21/05:

Thanks for signing my guest book and the advice. I'll be looking at your blog to see what I can learn. Hopefully it can help propel me forward in many ways.

Paawun Pungotraa, 05/19/05:
Hi John !
No I haven't done any writing lately. Life is really involved right now.
Don't have time for anything except worrying and figuring out stuff. Let me catch my breath and I will get back to it.
Nitin Narayan, 05/18/05:
Hi John,
Thanks for signing my guestbook and your advice... Have been on Ryze for a while, its just this month that I have taken active interest in this networking tool.
I am impressed by the rate at which information gets exchanged at Ryze.
Keep in touch,
Nitin
Charu Jain, 05/17/05:
Hi John,
Came to your page from The Virtual Handshake Network. I've been a member of Ryze since a long time but never really participated actively. Your thoughts really made an interesting read and now I feel that I should invest more time interacting on different groups. I also used the links provided by you on Social Networks on this page, thanks.
Do drop in my page and I'd like your comments,
Regards,
Charu
John Snyder, 05/17/05:
John,
I read with interest, your Post to another Network this morning and I can see that you have a lot of insight. I don't know why we have never run into each other before. We are looking for people like you to join our RYZE Debate Forum (EASY) EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING SOLUTIONS-YES!. A formal
invitation will be forthcoming.

I'd never heard of Veech Circles before visiting your page. What a fascinating concept.

John,
I really enjoy your posts and your blog. I really love networking. I think it is the only way to do business. I am the founder of The DreamTeen Foundation. We help teens realize their dreams. I think you would be an awesome mentor for these teens.

Hi John,
Thanks for visiting my page and leaving your comments. Much appreciated. I have been on and off on ryze, been using it more *seriously* since a month back! I maintain my pages and contacts at LinkedIn. You are welcome to visit my pages there. Lets keep in touch.
Best,

Michael Scott, 05/15/05:
John,
Thanks for the great advice. Other than meeting one of my best friends via Ryze, I have found little value in it. And I'm willing to admit that I hadn't considered many of the wonderful ideas contained in your essay (Ryze Gold or Platinum Members) until I read it this morning. I appreciate your willingness to be such a committed ambassador for business networking and look forward to corresponding with you in the days ahead.
FYI-I have been journaling for about 7 years and it has been a key to many of my life transformations.
Jeanie Marshall, 05/14/05:
John,
It is so good to reconnect with you, one I have truly valued as "friend." I was away from Ryze for a while, but when I check in to Networks on my return, your messages are among those that I make a point of reading. Thanks for your very wonderful message in my guest book.
Warm regards,
Jeanie
Joe Severa, 05/14/05:
Hello John:
I read, with considerable interest, your replies to Danielle & Susan about Ryze Network fallouts & their popularity. I'm no longer as detailed or critical as I probably was in my youth, but "hit" totals on Ryze are very misleading, trust me! Look at my total, you'd think I was extremely popular, but when it comes to my wellness/nutrition business, call me "The Shadow," or "The Invisible Man!"
Stop by & visit when you have the time,
Joe Severa
Ranjit Roy, 05/12/05:
Hi John
I was reading your articles (and the links) on your blogs - quite interesting and at times enlightening
Knowledge - well - I got interested in KM (knowledge management) from an IT perspective some years ago and well...from historical, philosophical, political, commercial etc. perspectives - at times its difficult to fathom.
Your country has been immortalized in the trilogy - Lord of the Rings
Binndisha(its French) Sarang., 05/10/05:
Hi
John thanks for the tip, I will sure do that, I really think your passion for dancing is seen by the happiness in your face in the photo. I did not know that bungee jumping was a kiwi sport, but its super cool.
Just like Stefen Fleming the super cool kiwi cricket captain.
Take care.
Binndisha
Katie Klute, 05/05/05:
Hi John,
I am very interested in your knowledge on using Ryze in an appropriate way. I have yet to understand if this is just a way to "trade" services, support others and be supported, or just meet interesting people. I will continue to read about your ideas, but I will agree right now with your stance on private pages and no Guestbooks, how is that networking?
Katie

Keep the good work going!!

It's alot easier on me if you just go to Barbara's page and ask for her to link up with you. That way, there's no need for you to go through so many people.
Nonni, 04/29/05:
Hi John
Thanks for dropping by. You were so right in your comment but my life is mostly work, struggling for my goals. I'm afraid I've got a bit lost in frustration and anger at my own situation. We´ll see if it changes. At least the saying goes "hope is the last thing you lose" he he. I'll try and become more active in the future. I really have a lot to say. eh he he

Hi John:
I want to thank you so much for your kind and gracious words in my guestbook. I appreciate it. You made my day.
I wish you great success and value the fact that you "get" what I'm striving to achieve on Ryze.
Join our "Testosterone Free Marketing" network. Yes it's 90 percent women - but some men like those odds *wink* and there are a lot of wonderful ideas and tips shared there.
All the best,

Thanks for your tips John!
When I get some time, I will take a look at your tips for Gold members. BTW, how do you manage your networks? I have just a few because I can't do them justice now!
I love to dance as well. Swing and Salsa are my passions at present. Your picture looks like so much fun! Best, Susan (The Nation's Capital)
Danielle Cutler- be aware of your strength, 01/16/05:
Ignore the rubbish my friend.
Hope you are well~ miss your thoughts!

Susan Perkins, 01/14/05:
Hi John,
I'm on LinkedIn, but haven't found it very useful as of yet. Is there some trick? Trying to have requests forwarded is almost impossible. CEO'S too busy perhaps?
Best to you in 2005, Susan FC, VA
Randy Salars, 01/12/05:
Hi John;
Thanks for taking the time to write such informative articles. I never have really thought about the basics of networking before and you have really opened my eyes!
In truth, I guess I'm a professional lurker-always reading, but never giving anything back, but it seems I sure have been missing a lot. As a newbie on Ryze, I definitely plan to bookmark such a wonderful resource.
Keep up the great work!

Hi John,
I enjoyed reading your page, especially the part about getting started in Ryze. You are so right, I am one of those people who stumbled across Ryze and filled out my page, and tried to figure out what else I was supposed to do. Thank you so much for your information. I will definitely do the first steps to joining Ryze and hopefully I will meet some interesting informative people.

Hello John,
Greetings from down under!
I have added your guide for newbies page to my favourites, and will be back to learn more from the wealth of resources you share here.
When I joined Ryze a few months ago I didn't know what a blog was! Yours is the first site that not only explains what it is, but what it's good for! Your page has a great feel too.
Thanks again, I believe I may be sitting on one of those $million opportunities you mentioned. will be back!

Rahul Kumar, 12/15/04:

Priya Shah, 12/08/04:
Thanks, John,
I've made many good business contacts on Ryze. Its been fun. Especially when your business contacts are restricted to the internet. You're a veteran here and have some excellent advice on your page for us newcomers. Keep blogging. :) By the way, my brother lives in Auckland. He has a web design biz there.

Priya Shah, 12/08/04:

Robert Harrington, 11/29/04:
Hi John.
I believe you understand, and you also find that you... believe in people more than they do.
I volunteer and help people...DO IT!!
Sadly they often refuse to acknowledge that they are angels and have the power.

Heidi Pliam, 11/28/04:
You beat me to the punch. I was going to thank you for your wonderful article for Ryze Newbies, but you reached my guestbook before I could reach yours. I particularly liked your vision about mentoring new folks. If we all just take a couple under our wing, that’s not too much work, and we all benefit.
Emlyn Phillips, 11/25/04:
Hi John,
Thanks for the welcome and advice!

Sanjay Dhadda, 11/25/04:

your inputs in this regard is requested.

Proportional government, eh? Well that's something I can get behind 100%. Consider jumping the pond and giving our governanny a shake-down, if you ever get board whipping NZ into shape. :-)
PS - I've been sending my team members to your Ryze introduction posts as part of our training. Good stuff there.
Linda DePaz, 11/15/04:
Hi John,
Thanks for stopping by the other day. Sorry I haven't visited sooner - but I've been 'down' for a few days due to being busy (a good thing right?).
Are you a Toastmaster? I became the Vice President Education at my second meeting! A lot for a girl to handle - especially when she is trying to feel more comfortable in front of people ;o)
Talk with you soon!
Linda
BJ Pheiffer, 11/11/04:
John, How wonderful to find a fellow traveler. One who's put words around what many of us experience. With a new partner, I am moving into the triple bottom line world out of an increasing imperative to bring value to the others with what I do. Am happy to network with you and will let you know as things unfold.
In peace,

Barbara Graham, 10/18/04:
Hi John, Interesting statistics about NZ Ryze members. I am always amazed at some of the numbers of hits people have had and they have absolutely no information in their sites! One never knows where they are going to meet that next very important business partner or new best friend. Very curious....
