Dustin, First off I want to thank you for letting me be apart of something so encouraging. Your passion for MeritBuilder and the heart behind it, was evident from the very first meeting we had. Here I thought i was getting a free lunch:) little did i know that i would be drawn to such an amazing passion and a great product! I believe in what you are doing 100% and I know this will revolutionize how the average person and the corporate world says thanks. Keep up the hard work and continue to lead by such a great example. Im excited about what is to come! Thank You again, Liz Boedeker

Dustin, Thank you for "Becoming a Fan". I'm exploring Merit Builder to see how it compares to LinkedIn, Google Profile and VisualCV, three sites on which I've already set up online profiles. I'm trying to limit the number of these sites to keep my sanity! Good luck with this site! Al

Dustin,

I just wanted to say thank you for your willingness to work with me on this project. Your patience and guidance has been a huge help. And what has been most encouraging, is that even though this process of me working for MeritBuilder has not been the easiest or most clear [what is my job title again?] - you have always been willing to speak to my potential and to my abilities, encouraging me in who I am - not just what I can do.

Keep up the great work, I have no doubt that your faithfulness and diligence will be rewarded as we continue to strive toward excellence, success, and ultimately - to help people.

Thanks, Nathaniel Watts

I have had a blast working with and for you this past year. While most people's definition of fun might not include working till 4 am in the corner of a hotel restaurant as water floods from 5 floors up, what has been the most rewarding to me is taking part in shaping an idea that you conceived and watching it transform and develop into the product we have today. I have learned so much since starting this project.

You are the true definition of an entrepreneur. You believe so strongly that its almost impossible to be around you for very long without believing yourself. You have a gift of being able to identify the right people and unite them together under one vision.

I love the environment that you have established around MeritBuilder and our team. Your leadership and insight help keep our whole team engaged in the process while keeping collaboration at the forefront.

Most of all, I am grateful that you have allowed me to take part in this journey. Working with you has completely changed the way I approach life. I've always "believed" anything is possible, but now I live it. I actively seek and walk through doors that Im presented. Stepping out on faith and quitting my job to be a part of MeritBuilder had a big impact on me. God has used you and this project to really change my perspective and make me rely more on Him.

I wasn't exactly a member of "Cube Land", but I was pretty close. Thanks for taking me out of the "matrix". I'll have the red pill please.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all of the hard work you've put into MeritBuilder. The work you've done in the last month since I joined is just simply phenomenal. That, on top of all of the other work you have to do, is just impressive. Your natural enthusiasm has helped drive the team when there has been a lull or a setback.

You're a great leader Dustin and you inspire us all to work harder and see the bigger picture of what we are trying to accomplish. MeritBuilder is about helping people and companies and you embody that well.

So thanks. --Lance

Dustin,

Better late than never..I wanted to say thanks for helping me and ALL of the PAC folks out during the 10 Days of Thanks program. I know that you helped SEVERAL people via phone AND e-mail, and I wanted to let you know that it didn't go unnoticed. I was included in that group of people, and I am so glad that you donated an hour of your time to walk me through the new changes, etc. Because of your thoroughness with me, I have been able to show a few folks around the office a few things, and it just helps us ALL so much when we can share what we know! This experience has been amazing, and I'm very grateful to be a part of it. I look forward to truly changing the way the world says THANKS!

Sincerely,

Stacy

Dustin, I would like to thank you for taking the time to explain how this website works. I really had fun sending out thank you notes to everyone. Not only did I like sending the notes, I understood the reason for this website so much more. I was energized to tell everyone I know. I really wish you luck on this launch of this website. I am looking forward to the changes we spoke about. Again, I want to thank you for your time, and the pleasant conversation we had getting to know you and what the website is all about.

Hi Dustin,

I saw you this morning on a recording I had of “The Big Idea” and thought I’d check out your website. GREAT CONCEPT!! Btw, I agree with what you had to say; Gloom and doom does not instill consumer confidence!

I have worked as a professional musician living the party boy pipe dreamer’s dream and playing many venues in the Daytona Beach area. I gave up performing a few years ago when I realized I was much too old (about 55 at the time) and talented to be an “American Idol” and the only way I could tolerate drunks in the bars was to be one of them. When people applauded us, I would say,” Thank you, we appreciate you appreciating us, appreciating you, appreciating us; appreciation and gratitude actually mean more than money, but we do accept tips.”

AND I APPRECIATE YOUR ENDEAVOR HERE!

Please go to my website >> http://emediamax.com/ and let me know if I can be of service to you.

Thanks again for being you,

Robert

It's about time you put something together. I was beginning to wonder if this was truly a business, although I still have my doubts. Tell your IT people to put it in gear and do something. So in conclusion...Thanks for being the procrastinating project manager you are. Your freind, Ben

Thank you for all of you hard work with the first big release of the product. Without your input and QA work into the wee-hours of the morning with rest of the dev. staff, we would have never 'gotten there'.
