Since I’m still in a bit of shock after the Net Visionary Awards the other evening, I’ll keep this short..
On the awards themselves…
I am amazed, stunned and humbled that I actually won two awards on the night. I’m always delighted to be shortlisted for awards, but since I’d never actually won any winning two blew me away.
Being nominated for the Internet Marketer award came as a surprise to me and being shortlisted for it was a big surprise. But to actually win that award blew me away completely! I would never have imagined that I could win, so when they announced it the other evening I was left completely and utterly speechless. I wouldn’t consider myself to be a marketer and I’d have expected a professional marketer to win – not me!
It was a fantastic night in a wonderful venue and a great chance to meet up with a bunch of people who I haven’t seen in a long time (plus a chance to meet people I’d never actually met in person before)
Congratulations to all the other winners, especially Pat Phelan, who got the overall Net Visionary award.
A sincere thanks to everyone who has helped me and the company over the last few years and to those who voted for me this year – I really really appreciate it.
Now my only problem is where do I put those great big lumps of crystal… It’s a nice problem to have!

From Michele Neylon:
Thanks guys
From Ralph:
Congrats… you may not be a marketer per se, but you have shown much more insight in using discussions and blogs to effectively leverage your knowledge to the benefit of those on the receiving end of your pearls of wisdom… in turn that’s given you presence and recognition without the “in your face” above-the-line marketing spend so often deployed to much less effect. You may not really ‘feel’ you’re a marketer, but that’s because you’re not trying to be one. I can’t really think of many that deserve the accolade more right now…
Cheers
Ralph
