"This totally ROCKS! I've
long believed that we are the "Edgiest" people in the world. Can
this website facilitate the introduction of Kiwis who are living offshore
to each other? I mean, all the Kiwis I meet in America are COMPLETE
legends ... we need to start figuring out a way that between us we can
better market this amazing place that we come from. We can do a shit load
more for NZ tourism than the bloody NZ Tourism Board ever will! ROCK ON
TEAM New Zealand! And any of the tall poppy knocking small minded kiwis
who are trying to attack Peter Blake....get a fricken LIFE!"

"Kevin, has yourself or
Brian thought about connecting up Kiwi's living and working overseas
somehow on your site??? I moved to San Francisco two months ago and am
currently trying to decide which offer from two ad agencies I'm going to
accept! Would be great to talk
to some other Kiwi's in San Francisco. What do you think??? Cheers, PS
keep up the motivating memos!!!"

"This is an awesome
initiative. NZ has a great opportunity to lead the world in innovation,
clever ideas and living environment. To do so, we need heroes and
heroines. People who stand on groundless ground and commit to the
seemingly impossible. Just being a NZer gives us a distinct advantage. It
is our being that allows us a perspective on problems and opportunities
that NO ONE else has. All we need to do is celebrate, embrace it. We have
the opportunity to lead, just because of who we are, rather then to follow
because of our size. Spread the word!"

"I was previously employed as a sales trainer and left
this employment in
January 2000. I now run an advertising agency called Page & Screen
Communications Ltd. The information contained in NZ Edge is brilliant. In
fact, the nine principles of Peak Performance inspired me to finally leave after 10 years service and take a risk and go it on my own. I am
loving it and I cannot keep up with the number of customers I am now
account managing. If an article like that can change just one person it
has made a difference in the world. I am extremely positive
that my future now lies only in my own hands and I CAN SUCCEED BECAUSE I
BELIEVE IN MYSELF. Thank you Kevin and The Edge for your
inspiration."

William Jenner Bryan Entrepreneurs Forum The Entrepreneurs Forum: allows
entrepreneurs from all industries/skill sets to get together to talk about
money making concepts that they have experienced ie they have done the
deal or started the business or are in the process of doing so not just
thought about it (although new concepts and ideas will be discussed). The
primary focus is on exchanging real money making or loss making
experiences for the benefit of the other members, not lectures on technical
matters such as the law (Bizinfo and the Chamber of Commerce can help you
there). The exchange of ideas is largely done by participants themselves
speaking for 10-20 minute segments which helps develop public speaking
skills. The contacts made can also be a possible source of venture capital
by participants pooling cash and other resources. The objective is that by
the intensity of exposure to other people’s experiences (particularly
income producing ones), ideas and industries will foster enthusiasm,
reduce the mistake factor and develop entrepreneurs and wealth a lot
faster than would otherwise be the case. Meeting are held every 6 weeks at
Kensington Swan, Level 4, 89 The Terrace, Wellington. For further details
call John Dennett on 04 498 0867. "If you are resolutely determined
to make an entrepreneur of yourself, the thing is more than half done
already … always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is
more important that any other thing." Abraham Lincoln Destiny

"Great site and concept. I have been thinking along the same lines.
Attached below is a blurb on an Entrepreneurs Forum I have started. You
may wish to mention it on your site. We would love to have Kevin speak at
our forum one day.
