Happy Couple from Dreamstimefree 3211330This morning I received an email announcing that Jimmy Brown is about to celebrate his 15th wedding anniversary. Congratulations Jimmy!!

Jimmy is one of the icons on the internet marketing scene. He is one who’s work I have been following for quite a while. I like his style.

Along with comments about his plans for their celebration, Jimmy wrote an excellent post on his blog revealing the secrets to his successful marriage. Because Jimmy is an online marketer, he naturally took the opportunity to compare these three keys with our relationship to our business contacts.

However these secrets can actually help you with any relationship that is important to you whether it be with family, friends or business associates.

This is a quick note to let you know that I have been doing some “extreme makeovers” on my blog network, to make your visits much more challenging, inspiring and helpful.

Starting from next week you will find a greater selection of categories and some new articles that will help you to find success with your relationships.
