This is quite a network of smart people you have going here. I just wish I could do a better job of linking up all the people I've met (virtually or otherwise) through this book--both in the US and abroad. It would be an amazingly powerful voice.

I find some interesting similarities between this and the boutique generation post you made on your personal blog. In both cases it's about people focusing on their passion and being good at it, rather than trying to be average at everything. Like the Boutique Shop owners, most of the global mircobranders probably aren't making millions, but they're likely much happier and content than owners of biggers businesses. I'd rather drive my Hyundai to a 4 person agency and be happy rather than be miserable in a Mercedes without enough time to think. I wish there were more companies with this philosophy.
