Validation, Inspiration

I just read the article by John Malott entitled "Always Remember the 80-20 rule." I want to thank you for validating my efforts and my business model. It is incredibly motivating to hear a 30-year veteran (guru) of Japan/US business succinctly package together the magic ingredients for a US company to penetrate Japan and be successful. I hope you don't mind me quoting the article at my next business update to my executive board. When I hit a roadblock, I'll just revert back to it to ensure I'm on the right track.
