Phillip,
Hello, my name is Robert and I am a project manager with a company called SAS in Cary North Carolina. A few months back you were a guest
speaker for my group in Atlanta Georgia. Well, I recently read your book, sent for my free socks and as you suggested, started running ten minutes
each morning Monday through Friday. It's only been two whole weeks now but I like the feeling. Oh, I am 42 years old.
You encouraged feedback so I thought I would drop a line say that I enjoyed your book. I am a bit of a self-help book junkie and have read my share.
Your straight forward style and rather personal account on life was a pleasant touch. I was feeling a bit hopeless in my career and life and
neurotically searching for some quick fixes. I believe I will adopt your "a little bit over a long period of time" as it appears to make more sense.
Thank you for the read...and the socks.
Regards,
Robert

Phil,
Read your book on the plane on the way to and from the Army Ten Miler in Washington, D.C. last weekend. You espouse many of the same
principles I have tried to live my life by for the last several decades:
- exercise consistently, make it part of your lifestyle
- when you stop learning, you stop living (how true!! I read a book every month in addition to several professional journals and running and flying
magazines - I learned a foreign language at age 35 and I earned my private pilot's license a few years ago at the age of 47!!)
- keep a positive attitude
- don't procrastinate, do it now!!
- use lists to accomplish tasks (I update mine daily!)
- maintain your integrity, always tell the truth ("duty, honor, country" is more than just the logo of West Point, my alma mater, it is a way of life)
- learn to be grateful for and content with what you have (Amen to that!! The apostle Paul tells us to "Give thanks in all things.")
- all things in moderation ( a subtle but powerful axiom)
- learn to forgive (a hard thing to do sometimes, but vital for one's own well being)
- have reasonable expectations
- get organized
A subtitle for your book could be "Defer Instant Gratification for Long Term Prosperity." I have achieved excellent health and financial
independence by practicing the principles above and as outlined in your book. I run or exercise every day and plan to do so forever and hope to be
running when forever comes.
Thanks again for sending the book. I plan to add it to my library and refer to it whenever someone asks for guidance on how to improve their own life.
Cheers.............Bob

Blessing to You Phillip
Thank You so much for being so kind to send me the code for the socks.
You ask me how did I find out about your book...I subscribe via email to a motivational of the week from www.wow4u.com. The host of that website
recommend reading your book and quoted some things from your book. If U go to site index U can find your book listed as a motivational-inspirational
book. The reason I purchased your book is because I wanted to find out the secret to your success. The email I received from motivational of the
week included some wonderful quotes. I try to live a very positive life, so I am always encouraged to read books that can help me further develop my
interpersonal skills. However, I am true believer that the Holy Spirit guides me in my decision making.
My oldest son has been going through a very difficult time these last few weeks. I had no clue that your book would be a tool that I will be able to use
to minister to my son during this difficult period. I am sure the Holy Spirit knew in advance your book would minister to me and my son. Yesterday, I
found myself quoting some of your book to my son to inspire him. May U continue to let your words reach those who are in need to be inspired,
motivated and guided.
Living and loving in Shalom,
ReGena

Dear Phillip,
Thank you for your interesting and motivational speech at our recent annual sales conference held at Stone Mountain national
Park. This is a very imprtant event in our company's calendar and I'm glad to report it was a huge success.
Following your speech, I received many positive comments, feedback and "personal action plans". A common theme of the
feedback and what our team appreciated most was the warm, honest and sincere way you delivered your speech and the open
and "from the heart" way your shared your personal experiences with us.
Thank you once again and best wishes for a healthy and successful 2007.
Sincerely,
Scott McDonald

Mr. Phillip Crone
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am pleased to have the opportunity to recommend Mr. Phillip Crone. Phillip recently spoke at our annual training event Metrac
University. Phillip displayed his listening skills by adapting his discussion with our troops. He did this by incorporating some of
the real live examples from the conversations the night before. This made his message all the more real.
Phillip’s down to earth, “real” approach makes his already interesting message very lively. My group left excited and enthusiastic
about this next year due to the content and delivery of Phillips message. If you can get him, use him!
Sincerely,
David R. Schafer
Director of Sales

Phillip,
Just a quick note to finally get back with you on your book. You presented to my SAS team in Atlanta in 2006 and I have been
remiss in not sending you a note sooner.
I really enjoyed the book and the perspective you offered. I can tell you I have begun to implement the concept of a little over a long
period of time in many of my day to day work and personnel activities and I have seen and feel changes occurring.
Kudos to you for a great job.
My wife is following suit and loved the thorlo socks.
What's your next book?
Ken
