The Oprah Effect

Post by wosnes »

Did anyone catch this on CNBC last night?

There's even a book telling one how to get on Oprah.

Good grief.. I could handle the money of course, but I wouldn't want to become famous. Imagine how much stress a small company can have to grow that fast. no thanks!

Although... Reinhard should be on there!!! Yea, that's my vote! Go Rein!
I guess this doesn't work unless you actually do it.
Please pray for me

I agree!

I have no idea.... but if more and more people keep practicing and succeeding on no-s, she's bound to find out about it eventually right?

So keep those habitcals green for Oprah :-)
