Tom Royce of The Real Estate Bloggers<\/a> pointed me to The Dip<\/i>, Seth Godin’s forthcoming book<\/a> about the barriers that arise between the euphoria of a great idea and its realization — and why it’s sometimes wise to quit when you’re behind.<\/p>\n

Here’s the part that is of immediate, local interest. Matt LaPrairie came up with the novel idea of mounting a pledge campaign to get Seth to speak about the book in Phoenix<\/a>. The commitment:<\/p>\n

“I will pay $50 to hear Seth Godin speak in Phoenix and receive 5 copies of his new book, The Dip<\/i>, but only if 499 other people in the Phoenix area will do the same.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So far, only 68 people have made the pledge. Unless they are joined by 431 more, Seth will go elsewhere.<\/p>\n

This is a remarkable opportunity<\/a> (and a true Purple Cow book marketing strategy for Seth), so, if you’re in the Phoenix area, sign up. And if you’re blogging in Phoenix, speak<\/i> up.
