Hi Barry,
first of all, Congrat on Win ! Now, after all, is really hard to say, who can you Target for Interview.
1. Target= some big Face , who, I really don’t know. Maybe, John Thornhill,because we’re his students ??! Maybe Dave Nicholson, Daniel Sumner ??!
2. Why ? Maybe, they can tell us more about options for free Advertising, for some Secrets, which they maybe know and we don’t!
3. Question : Do you use some Social Bookmarks site for Promotion (like: Bookmarks.biz, Bookmark.com, Bookmark4you.com) ? Which one ? Do you have any other, better solution for Promoting our sites -for Free for which we don’t know ?
I hope Barry, that I Help you with this.
Anyway, Again, Congratulation for Win !
Respect
Alex
Hi Alex, Thanks for commenting and giving me some good ideas.
I’ll see who is popular through the amount of times someone is named and see about interviewing them.
Thanks Alex, speak soon my friend.
Barry
PS I hope your break was a nice one

Barry,
I have tried to Tweet this your Post and Is NOT Working !! Some mistake in Connection ! Tell me Barry, which Plug-in is this ? Is really good one, people can Tweet this really fast and Clean !
Alex
Hi Alex, the tweet button is a plugin called Tweetmeme.
Or do you refer to the box at the bottom with the text in it?
Barry
Twitter: snovakor
Barry,
sorry for small Gramm mistake Up there (no=now). About this button, I was thinking on box with text in it. Now, I can see that you’ve removed this button. np. I have Tweeted your site several times in week. Just with your Title and Link.
bye
Alex
Hi again Alex, I realise that English isn’t your 1st language so don’t worry about the grammar my friend, the more I get to know you the easier it is to understand what you mean. Stick with my friend it can only get easier for you
The Tweet box was placed there by following a video that Adrienne Smith created in a guest post for Jeffrey Morgan. Follow this link and the instructions and Adrienne will have you up and running in minutes:

Only kidding, It’s fresh in my mind as I only added it to my blog last week Alex.

Hi Barry, wow what a great prize! I had a long think about who I would interview and there’s actually a few people, so I’m going to name them all!
I would love to interview Peggy Baron (http://www.peggybaron.com/blog/). I’m a follower of her blog and I also buy her really good PLR packs. I am very interested to know how popular PLR writers such as Peggy start out, get themselves known and how easy is it to get into that field of online work.
I think I would really like to interview Brandon Connell (http://www.brandonconnell.com/) because I’ve been visiting his blog for a while now and he has a unique way of attracting traffic in that he runs regular competitions and gives really good prizes. I would really like to ask him how much he thinks this affects his rank and whether these competitions are worthwhile.
And I would love to interview Sally Neill (http://www.sallyneill.com/) to find out how much of an influence working for Alex and being able to ‘link’ her name with his had in her online success. Is this something we can all aspire to?
What an excellent idea running a ‘competition’ for ideas! A stroke of brilliance, Barry. Hope the interview goes well, I’m sure it will. Sometimes we are more afraid of doing something than actually doing it, if you see what I mean. Once we get into it and get on with it we’re actually fine, as you will be.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Hi Mandy, thanks for leaving such a detailed comment.
I haven’t visited Peggy but will now make a point of doing so
You’ve entered some excellent people to interview and some top questions to ask Mandy. Head spinning now for sure
I have to install Skype and get used to it before i do anything, but thought I’d get the ball rolling for ideas first.
I will be giving a free copy of the product to everyone that leaves a decent comment such as yours Mandy.
Thanks again for the ideas
Respect and Regards, Barry
Twitter: learn_to_blog
I actually thought of a stack more, but didn’t want to fill your whole page! If you want a practice on skype, Barry, feel free to add me and have a chat. My skyp name is mandy.allen286.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Thank you very much for the offer Mandy I’ll be taking you up on it
I’ve just installed Skype (barrywellsuk) but have to wait for someone to come home to unplug my speakers so that my headset works before I can start checking it out.
As soon as I do Mandy you’ll be the first contact
Speak soon,
Respect and Regards, Barry
Mandy,
Thank you so much!
I would be happy to interview/chat with you anytime!

Hey Barry, congratulations on your win. It sounds like you are really excited about this.
Since I was recently a student of Alex Jeffrey’s I went through their training of how to interview someone, get it set up on podcast, etc. So, lucky me right! Sally was also a very big part of that which is how I got connected with her in the first place.
I don’t really have a special someone that I would like to hear from to be honest with you. I have a friend, Steve Roy, who recently started his own pod cast series of interviewing people. Seth Godin was at the top of that list so he sent him an email requesting an interview. Much to Seth’s dismay, he accidentally replied thinking it was something else but committed himself to the interview. Steve was able to get 10 minutes from him so he had a lot of really great questions he asked and Seth shared his answers. After hearing that one, I don’t know who at this point could top that.
Sorry I’m of no help but I wish you the very best of luck with this. Can’t wait to hear who will be on your list and what you will be sharing.
Thanks Barry,
Adrienne
Adrienne recently posted..Confession Time, My May Stats Are In
Hi Adrienne, I hope you’re well
Yes I am excited about the opportunity that this win offers me, very nervous as well though, but I’ll overcome that
It’s funny you mention Sally being a part of your training for interviews as I have her eBook that is showing me “how to”.
Steve Roy had a result then Adrienne, seeing he got a 10 minute interview makes me even more nervous as I’m hoping for an hour long one….
Thanks Adrienne, catch up soon my friend

10 was all Seth would give him but he’s done all his other interviews a lot longer. I don’t doubt yours will be great. Looking forward to them.

Barry,
Congratulations on your winnings.
I think that is really great that you have the opportunity to have an email transcribed and am going to go to Dawn’s site and get my free copy of Sally’s Skype Interview Survival Kit. Thank you.
As far as your questions go:
1. Who would you target? — I would have the same problem. I would love to interview someone but have no idea who I would interview. I would think an Internet Marketing Guru though. I know someone else mentioned John Thornhill(who I was going to suggest also), so I think that would be a good idea.
2. Why would you target that person? — I am sure we could all learn more from him and I think he would be easy to interview. I think for the first interview I do, I would want to interview someone who was very confident in speaking and could basically carry the interview as I would be really nervous. I think John would be really easy to interview.
3. What’s the One burning question you would ask them? — I think this probably sounds kind of stupid but I keep thinking there are things that are unwritten rules or pieces of information that no one ever thinks to tell those of us that are new or not as far along. (I have found in most everything I have ever done there are those little pieces of information that are really key and important that no one ever tells me, but when I find it out a light comes on.) I would like to hear what one of the people who are making money think those things might be. Don’t think it would make a complete interview but might be interesting to hear.
Well don’t know that I was of much help but I put in my two bits for what it is worth.
Am looking forward to listening to your interview no matter who you decide to interview or what topic you decide to use for the interview.

Hi Dee Ann,
The interview is going to be over Skype which is why I’m so nervous about it. I’m hoping it’ll include all the bells and whistles without the errr umm’s, coughs and stammers
It doesn’t matter if others have mentioned someone already Dee Ann as those people that’re mentioned numerous times are obviously ones of high interest, which may lead me to target them.
John Thornhill is certainly a high contender for the very reasons you state.
Thanks for leaving such a detailed comment Dee Ann, it is very helpful and for the record Dee Ann your comments and views are always welcome and valued highly.
Thanks again Dee Ann,

Hi Barry
Congrats on your winnings – woohoo!!
I found you via Sally’s blog – I was also a fellow student of Alex Jeffreys and I am dealing with the same questions. I honestly have no idea who I would want to interview. The hardest part is going to be to actually get them to agree to an interview. I have tried to make contact in the past with some people – actually was pretty persistent and no response, so good luck with whatever and whoever you choose to interview.
You have a great look blog here, I will be back soon!
Have a wonderful day!
Linda
Hi Linda, welcome to my blog.
Thanks for the congrat’s, i’m really excited about it but really nervous at the same time
Have a read of Sally’s eBook Linda it gives some excellent pointers of how to get the target to agree to an interview.
Here’s a tip: Wait for the target to start promoting something and check out their bonus offers. Many people will offer an hour consultation, which you can record. It does mean buying a product but weigh the cost of the product against the success of your product created from the interview and the balance should come down in your favour every time
Thanks for the compliments about my blog, much appreciated Linda
Catch up soon,
Barry
Twitter: IMarketerLinda
Actually, no I didn’t read Sally’s eBook, but I just downloaded it now and will do that after I reply here – thanks!
Great advice there Barry. Thank you and you are welcome for the comments
Have a great day!

Thanks Linda, enjoy the eBook

Hey Barry,
Congrats on winning Dawn’s super duper prize, I am sure you will create a fabulous product from this opportunity!
And thank you for the shout out to my ebook too, much appreciated.
Ohhhh who would I target?
That’s not that tough for me…
Target: I guess it would STILL be Alex Jeffreys because he has taught me so much, it would be Alex every single time.
Reason: Simply because he knows internet marketing inside out and every time I speak to him I learn something new.
Thing is I speak to Alex quite a lot so I am forever asking him questions lol, I annoy him constantly but he is always willing to help help me, so I don’t really have one burning question, more like questions that just pop up.
Only you know what you want to learn Barry.
Ask questions you need the answers too.
Many of your readers are at the same level or a little behind in their online career so they will be struggling with the same things.
And don’t be nervous remember…
You are doing this for your “online friends” by facing a fear you are helping them, you have a fabulous chance to truly help others.
Many people can’t face fears, so you need to do it!
You need to show other people that fears can be faced, and this will in turn help them face their own fears.
Good luck with the interview, I know you will be brilliant, I have complete faith in ya (and don’t forget my free copy lol)
Sally
ps. tweeted and shared on my fanpage for ya seeing as you always do it for me
Hi Sally, Thanks for the congrat’s I was shocked and delighted by winning the prize.
No worries on the shout out about your eBook Sally, you know when I find gems online I like to Pass it on to others.
I had a feeling it would be Alex Jeffrey’s for you Sally because I know you went from his student to his staff before stepping out alone.
You made a very good point about only I know what I want to learn, there are so many aspects that i still need to learn that I’ll have to put my thinking hat on and prioritise them.
I know what you mean about not being nervous and facing our fears. It’s funny Sally, only last week I told you my only fear was getting in front of the camera. But at that time I had never thought of conducting an interview and now that I am
I’ve installed Skype and as soon as I can get someone to unplug my speakers I’ll be testing it out and getting used to it.
Of course you’ll be getting a free copy Sally as soon as it sorted
Thanks for helping to pass the word, much appreciated.
Catch up soon Sally,
Respect and Regards,
Barry

Hi Barry
Congratulations mate on winning Dawns Prize. I am sure you will do a fantastic interview Barry.
There are quite a few people I would love to interview (If I had the opportunity and courage to do so!)
I would love to interview John Thornhill its an obvious choice for me Barry being a current student,(Masterclass) but there are so many things he could give imput on depnding on the questions asked.
I would also like to interview Liz Tomey http://liztomey.com/blog/ I am currently in her online PLR and Video training workshop program. I would ask her about how to set up an online training workshop and membership site.
I would also like to interview Chris Farrell http://www.chrisfarrellmembership.com His membership site has been voted No.1 Internet Marketing Service. If there was one important factor in creating a successfull Memebership site – what would it be?
Not sure if I have been much assistance Barry, there are certainly some high profile candidates for you to interview out there.
I wish you the best of luck with your interview mate – not that you will need it though! I look forward to listening to your interview mate.
Catch up soon
Ian
Hi Ian, thank you for sending people to my blog to watch my videos. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them arrive and leave comments, Thanks Ian it’s very much appreciated my friend and I’ll be sure to return the gesture
John Thornhill seems to be a popular choice as he’s now been mentioned 3 times. I’ll wait and see who is the most popular person mentioned and see about targeting them
I’ll be sure to check out the others mentioned Ian, thanks for supplying their links and details of what you would like to know.
Great help as always Ian, thanks mate.
Catch up soon Ian,
Respect and Regards

Hi Barry
You are most welcome my friend. I have had feedback from those that have visited and watched the videos and they all loved them!
They want more!! (That’s them talking Barry – not me honest!
)
I think JT will always be a popular choice Barry, he has so much knowledge he can share, but then there has been some great suggestions in the reply comments, each one of them I’m sure worthy of an interview.
Looks like your decision of who to interview could prove more of a dilemma than the actual interview itself!
Good Luck Buddy

Ian Ieba recently posted..PLR “Private Label Rights” Part One
Hi Ian, What kind of video do they want mate? Let me know and I’ll see what i can do, no promises though
Yes there have been some excellent suggestions which will make it a little harder to choose a target. At the moment I’m watching to see whose name is mentioned the most.
Thanks for registering on my site Ian, the new version of commentluv is looking really good. I hope it works well for you to mate.
Catch up soon Ian,

Hi Barry
OMG that’s so nice of you to write about my little competition I had on my blog so thanks for that Barry.
I can’t wait to see who you are going to interview and I’m really looking forward to transcribing it.
I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be a good one (lol).
I haven’t conducted an interview myself yet as it’s still on my list of fears I need to conquer but when I do I would probably interview someone that’s already done some interviews so I don’t have to talk much and that I already know.
Just to make it a little bit easier on me.
Is that cheating or what??
So…
I would like to interview Sally Neil and I want to ask her where she gets all her fab ideas from for content in her videos and in her blog posts.
Because no one does them like she does.
Good luck with your interview Barry and thanks again for mentioning me.
Take care
Dawn
Dawn Kay recently posted..Competition Winners Plus A Fab Free Ebook On Interviewing Experts On Skype
Hi Dawn, mentioning your blog and services is the least I could do after winning such a fantastic prize.
I’ve installed Skype and have been trying to get my headset working properly. For some strange reason I can’t get any volume to the ear piece
I can understand your views on interviewing someone that has been interviewed before Dawn, and no I don’t think it’s cheating at all. I think it makes perfect sense
You could have interviewed Sally last week at the meet up, mind you from what I’ve heard about it you were wise not to
I think Sally would make a good Target for the very reasons you state. Her videos and helpful posts are simply fantastic 
Catch up again soon Dawn, thanks again for the prize. I’ll put it to good use once I have got the headset working correctly
Respect and Regards,
Barry
Hi Barry,
Great to know you’ve won a free transcription from Dawn Kay. What goes around comes around in this business. That’s one of the beauties of it, you know.
I’m sure you’re going to do just fine. Fear sometimes is a good thing. In this case it most definitely is.
Fear is normal. I’m sure if I was in your shoes or when I put my self in your shoes I will feel the same way you do. I’m sure many would feel the same way too.
So just go ahead and do it and keep in mind things are just going to get better and think about the results.
So if I was in your shoes Barry I would go after any Big Gun who would accept my invitation for maximum exposure.
I’m sure you’ve been around enough and helped so many, I don’t think you should have a problem, finding. I would go after John Thornhill, because after all, he is our mentor and well known.
What would be my one burning question? Well Barry I would have a lot of burning questions if I was going to do an interview (Good title for the interview, Burning Questions). It would all depend on what it is that we will be talking about.
Although one burning question would be… Why do so many people get sucked in to thinking Internet Marketing and making money online is easy as pie?
What ever it is that you decide to do Barry I’m sure it will all turn out good because I know you always do your best in everything you do.

Terry Conti recently posted..Setting Direction For Your Goals
Hi Terry, Yes it is a great prize and it’s got me really excited
I’ve been trying to get volume to my headset so that I can start using Skype to do some dummy runs with volunteers before going in for the biggy, but not having much luck with that as yet
Yes fear is normal Terry, we’ve faced and got through many of them simply by sticking with it and seeing the task through to completion. Just think how far we have come over the last couple of years, we know what fears we had when we started this journey and we’ve crushed most of them.
John Thornhill has been getting a few mentions so it may be him that I set my sights on Terry. I’ll see who has been mentioned the most when I’m ready to get the interview started and try targetting that person.
That’s a good question Terry. We’ve both seen people throw the towel in once they see that it isn’t push button easy, which is a shame.
Thanks for the compliments Terry, catch you up very soon my friend.
Respect and Regards,
Barry
Barry,
How exciting. To be honest I am not 100% sure who I would interview it’s tough there are so many great bloggers out there. My question would honestly just be simply what is your secret to success? Good luck and trust me, you will be great!
First off congratulations on your win
Lynda recently posted..The Cute Kid Coupon Code
Hi Lynda, welcome back.

Thanks for commenting Lynda,

Twitter: jackdillen
Hi Barry
You’re getting an interesting list of people to be interviewed for the future!
In answer to your questions:
1. Who would you target?
Tiffany Dow
2. Why would you target that person?
Tiffany styled herself as the Ghostwriter to the Gurus. She wrote many products and sales pages for them until she realised that instead of being paid once for her writing skills, she could create PLR material (similar to Peggy Baron as mentioned by Mandy) and be paid over and over again.
She has helped many people to set up their own PLR businesses and is very generous with her advice on her blog.
She pulls no punches in her assessment of products – honest to the point of embarrassment for certain individuals.
She seems to have an excellent balance between work and family life.
3. What’s the one burning question you would ask them?
Well, there are two:
a) What advice would you offer to someone who is looking to start a business online?
(I know what her answer is to this one; you can view her blog – I’m sure it’s there. Different advice to what many marketers suggest.)
b) You have written on subjects as diverse as dating, dogs, stopping smoking, dieting, pay per click, the list goes on. What is your number one method to research for the subject and to write the content?
Okay, Barry, I know I sneaked two question in that last one. But hey, given an opportunity to speak to people like Tiffany, John Thornhill, Alex Jeffreys, Liz Tomey, Chris Farrell and so on, there’d be 1001 questions to be asked. And there’d be a gem in each of their answers.
All the best,
John
Hi John, welcome to my blog. Sorry for the delay in approving your comment John but I had a nightmare day yesterday
rest assured that any future comments will not need my approval before being published.
You’ve made a very good point about a list of people to be interviewed in the future. I was only looking for one but now I could have a series of interviews
Tiffany sounds very interesting John and I’ll be sure to check out her blog and have a good look around.
I totally agree that there could be 1001 questions to ask my target and you’ve left 2 very good ones to get the ball rolling, thanks John.
Thanks for visiting my blog and taking the time to leave such a detailed comment John, it’s very much appreciated and I’ll return the gesture very soon.
Respect and Regards,
Barry
Hi Barry:
Wow I am glad you won, congrats and now it is the blog party going on. I am happy for you.
When I logged in to your site, I was pretty amused or astonished with the title and the picture,amazing combination, you are trying to grab every subscriber, reader and friend, I have to learn this from you,because we are in the same blog network, we are blog friends and we know each other as bloggers for more than one year. See I gave you lots of reasons
So, tell me the story what did you earn to win a prize? I know you are a smart blogger, once you pay attention you can do things with a
special touch of quality.
Keep up the good work.
Fran A
Hi Fran, Thanks for the congrats my friend
I’m glad that you liked the title and picture combination Fran. Yes I am trying to grab the attention of other bloggers, friends, readers and followers to get their advice on who they would interview and the one question they would like answered.
I won the prize by simply sending people to Dawn’s competition post. I knew people that had conducted interviews and thought they would be able to make use of Dawn’s services so I sent them over there.
Thanks Fran, catch up soon my friend
Barry
Twitter: ExtremeJohn
Wow! That’s great news Bary! Congratulations! I’m excited to know how the interview would go as I myself have no idea how to best do it. But I love to help you so here are my answers to your questions.
1. Who would you target?
I can’t really suggest a specific person but as a business owner, I would love to know the stories of a successful business owner. Or maybe someone who have been into a lot of failures in business but was able to persist and stand up from their failures.
2. Why would you target that person?
This would inspire a lot other business owners to take risks and stand up from pitfalls in business. Maybe get some advice of how to handle situations under pressure or the likes of that.
3. What’s the One burning question you would ask them?
I’d probably just want to know their story and would love to be inspired by them as well as inspire others.
So that’s it. I hope it somehow helped.
Hi John, welcome back.
Thanks for the congrats John. It is really exciting and I’m looking forward to it, once I get over the nerves
If you’d like to know about interviews John I’d say download Sally’s eBook (mentioned in post) as it’s a great read that points out the pit falls, so we know what to avoid
You’ve raised some good points that most of us would like to know about John, especially how they kept going after failing with their business. I agree that it would be very inspiring.
You have been a big help with your comment John, thank you.
Catch up again soon John,

Congratulations winning this transcript prize Barry. I don’t know many successful people online so I would go for John Thornhill. I would ask him what is the first thing people should focus on before trying to make money on the internet.
I wonder who you will choose? Don’t worry about the fear aspect as it is natural with something new. Maybe that’s another reason to pick John, you are his student so he will want to help.

Hi John, it’s good to see you again. I hope that your health is better now.
John Thornhill is getting a lot of mentions John so he’s leading on the target front
That’s a very good question to ask him John, thanks for that.
Yes I agree mate, it is only natural to fear things that we haven’t done yet, and as we know the more we do things the easier they become.
John a bit off topic here mate but are you still creating websites for people and offering the first years hosting? I’ve got a mate that does mezzanine flooring and is after a site being built.
Speak soon John, take care mate.

Hi Barry,
Can feel your excitement pounding through the monitor…:-)
Congratulations mate on winning the competition…
Hey it is not surprising as you always add value at most places you visit…. and your helpful nature …
Who would I interview? … John would be my first choice …not only is he successful but as Terry mentioned …you are one of his students..and he seems to be the kind of guy who will help where ever he can.
The other suggestion is Ana Hoffman of trafficgenerationcafe.com
This lady write some excellent stuff on getting traffic to your blog.
I would like to know from both …where they get their ideas from?
How do they get the creative juices flowing.
A little tip here to help you with your nerves…. do a few with unknowns so you can practice and when the big one come around you will be more relaxed.
Have a great day.
Cheers

Hi Bryan, good to see you again my friend. For some strange reason you went to the spam folder
Thanks for the congrat’s and compliments Bryan.
Yes John Thornhill is getting some mentions here Bryan. He is leading the target board so far
Your questions are good ones Bryan I’ll be making a list of questions very soon and will take a lot from these comments.
That’s a good idea about doing some interviews with other people first. I’ve installed skype and got a new headset yesterday for fathers day so I’m good to go once I can arrange calls.
Do you use Skype Bryan?
Catch up very soon mate,

Hi Barry,
I think interviewing somebody is great idea, and I also find it a little daunting. I guess it’s the same as doing your first video. You stand there all tongue tied and worried about how you will sound. Then it dawns on you. Nobody sees it unless you want them to.
After awhile it all becomes natural.
I work with Brad Gosse and belong to his mastermind group. I think he would make a great subject to interview. The reason being is that he has entered so many different niches with success.
I have seen an idea on the table monday morning, turn into a working business 7 days later. Amazing to watch.
I think the question I would ask any successful IM would be. If you had to start again what would you do differently?
If you interviewed enough people you could make a product from those answers alone.
As always, great stuff on this site Barry.
Chat real soon.
Andy Beveridge
Hi Andy, it’s good to see you again.
It’s funny you mention Videos as just before winning this competition I was trying to create my first video facing the camera. I got about half way through and hit an er um moment and of course it all went silly from there
like you said though Andy, nobody has to see them until we have perfected them.
Brad Gosse sounds very interesting Andy. I bet that’s very inspirational seeing an idea turn in to a business within 7 days. I’d love to be able to watch that, wouldn’t we all
It’s funny that you raise the question “If you had to start again what would you do differently?” as I have recently been asked the same question by someone that is asking a few people the same question with a view to creating a product from it.
Great minds think alike Andy
Thanks for your input mate, catch you up very soon.

Hi Sanya, where’s my post card?
I’m glad you’re having a good family break, and working at the same time, setting examples for the rest of us.
Have a great time and make some happy memories with your children
Catch up soon Sanya, give my best wishes to Alex.

Hi Barry. We focus a lot on success, and people are successful. Wouldn’t it be different to find someone who has had success, and then simply lost the will? You should highlight the potential downside with such a person.

Hi Brandon, good to see you again.
You’ve got me thinking now because that would be a very interesting topic to cover.
Chug chug goes the head a little more

Hi Barry,
Now that’s a cool commenting award! Congrats on winning it.
Looks like you’ve gotten some great comments on your questions, so I’ll throw my 2 cents in here as well:
1) Who would you target and why?
Not a specific person can I suggest, but if it were me, I would go after someone in your niche that you aspire to be… someone who is a step or two above you in terms of results and popularity, and then….
2) What burning question would I ask?
… I would ask that person…. How did you get where you are today? What did you do first? What steps did you take? What shortcuts have you found that would help my readers (and you).
I know that’s more than one question, but the first question leads to the next, and the next, and then you’ve got yourself one heckuva interview.
Great post, Barry. This is my first time here but I’ll be sure to stop back and see what’s new.
All the best,
Bob

Hi Bob, welcome to my blog. It’s very good of you to come over.
Thanks for the congrat’s Bob, I’m thrilled at winning the prize.
Yes I’ve got some great comments on this post giving me some excellent ideas for people to target and questions to ask. Being my first interview I’ve found them extremely helpful.
As is your suggestion Bob: Rather than going for a guru go for someone a few steps further up the ladder, great idea.
The questions are also very good Bob and yes they could form the interview, excellent, thanks again.
I’m really pleased you liked the post Bob and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Congratulations Barry and well done. Lovely to see the law of kindness in operation. I would interview a wise yogi known as Mooji (My friend introduced Mooji to me…check him out on youtube). Mooji breaks down complex spiritual laws and understandings into simple everyday teachings that leave you enlighten and wanting to discover more about self and how we can all live in peace and unity. If you interviewed Mooji you would be bringing his message to a wider audience and doing a bit more for humanity. Have a wonderful day. Peace and love.
Hi Ntathu
Thank you for the congratulations
Mooji sounds very interesting, I’ll try and find him on YouTube.
Since writing this post I have interviewed Adrienne Smith and I’ll be making that interview available very soon
Thanks for coming over Ntathu,
Take care,
Barry
