Conclusion<br />

If you’ve read all the way to the end of my book, thanks so much. I<br />

hope you found some great ideas to solve problems or just to cheer you<br />

up when you are having a bad day. Perhaps some of these ideas inspired<br />

you to come up with a few great ideas of your own.<br />

Revising the book was an adventure. I was asked to update about 60<br />

of the 201 ideas, but once I got going, I realized every idea needed to be<br />

refreshed or updated. That’s why there are dozens of new ideas related to<br />

technology. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bing, <strong>and</strong> Groupon.com weren’t<br />

around when I last updated this book.<br />

In exchange for all these great ideas, I’d like to ask you a favor. If you<br />

have a great idea that has helped you boost profits or solve a problem, please<br />

send it to me! I’ll do my best to share it on the 201GreatIdeas.com web site<br />

<strong>and</strong> in my other columns <strong>and</strong> blogs.<br />

I want to thank all the business owners <strong>and</strong> experts who graciously<br />

agreed to be interviewed for this third edition. I truly appreciate your time<br />

<strong>and</strong> your c<strong>and</strong>or. I also want to thank my husb<strong>and</strong>, Joe, for being so supportive<br />

<strong>and</strong> patient. It’s not easy living with a busy writer, especially one<br />

who does quite a bit of reporting over the phone. Thanks, too, to Mavis<br />

Carr, my wonderful research assistant.<br />

During the past few weeks as my deadline approached, I thought I<br />

should have written a book titled Two Great Ideas for Your Small Business.<br />

Marry a rich person <strong>and</strong> use their money to do what you love.<br />

Of course, I’m kidding. I’m heading back on the road, <strong>and</strong> looking<br />

forward to meeting <strong>and</strong> interviewing more wonderful entrepreneurs just<br />

like you. We’ll also be shooting video interviews with business owners at
