It is a plea for originality, for passion, guts, and daring, because that's the only way to be successful. Today, the one sure way to fail is to be boring. Your one chance for success is to be remarkable." SG<br /><br />The 2 people who were "Chosen" as Finalists for the 1st Annual<br />Purple Cow on Steroids Award are nothing short of REMARKABLE.<br /><br />Each is an "Original".<br /><br />Both are Motivated by GREAT Passion.<br /><br />And, they are certainly ANYTHING but "Boring".<br /><br />It was a hard choice.<br /><br />One of these men is just finding his path, while the<br />other is leading others to theirs.<br /><br />Each has the Soul of a Child.<br /><br />These are the Qualities that Qualified them for this<br />Considerable HONOR.<br /><br />The other Requirement was SPEED.<br /><br />When the Purple Cow was first published in 2003,<br />the Internet had not yet found it's "Grounding".<br /><br />Marrying the Ethers with the Mortals was<br />accomplished with the arrival of the 2.0 Generation.<br /><br />Social Media put the FAST in Purple Cow.<br /><br />Another legendary "Cow King" Stew Leonard, Jr. says, "That in Business...<br /><br />The BIG don't eat the the small...The FAST eat the slow"!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.stewleonards.com/">www.StewLeonards.com/</a><br /><br />Our 2 Finalists for 2007 have "Hit that Mark".<br /><br />One goes really FAST in his Aston Martin, while the other<br />makes "Haste" at the end of Bungi-Jumping Cord.<br /><br />The Votes are in...The Ballots are counted and the WINNER is...<br /><br /><strong>SendOutCards</strong><br /><br />Although Kody Bateman, CEO and Visionary of SendOutCards<br />will "Accept" the Award, it's really the company itself that has<br />earned it.<br /><br />Kody will tell you it's all about the People.<br /><br />It's about the People we touch with our Thoughts, our Words,<br />our Feelings and our Deeds.<br /><br />This company is a Phenom that stands alone as a Purple Cow<br />and the <strong>Buzz</strong> is soooo <strong>LOUD</strong> that this little online greeting<br />card comany emerged as the 3rd LARGEST Greeting Card<br />Company in the World in 2007.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.justsendcards.com/">Send A Card</a><br /><br /><strong>Sean Aiken</strong> our Runner Up felt a little sad<br />when we first contacted him to let him know :-(<br /><br />But...<br /><br />Sean cheered up the minute he realized that he was<br />2nd Runner Up to SendOutCards and shouted Yippee :-)<br /><br />If you don't know who Sean is, you can meet him here...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.oneweekjob.com/">www.OneWeekJob.com/</a><br /><br />Sean is a "One of a Kind" Kid that is making a Lot of NOISE<br />about "Not knowing what to be when he Grows Up".<br /><br />So Sean is working "One Job" a Week for One Year<br />doing just about whatever until he decides.<br /><br />My VOTE???<br /><br />I predict Sean will be a FAST Mover in the Marketing and<br />Social Media circles and that's why we Voted him as our<br />2007 Runner Up for the Purple Cow on Steroids Award.<br /><br />Stay Tuned...More to Come...<br /><br /><br />Who Am I???<br />I AM...<br /><a href="http://www.debmullen.com/">www.DebMullen.com/</a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; display: block;">My space counter<br><a href="http://www.freehitcounters.net" title="my space counter" ><img src="http://www.freehitcounters.net/My_space_counter_3756413.png" alt="My space counter" ></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1547884328367463635-5004836892344194594?l=purplecowaward.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Deb Mullenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01248733892550649535noreply@blogger.com0
