I am with Richard, ( and most likely everyone else ) and can tell from the fellowship in not only the forum, but really everything Taxi, that your life is one filled with reward, Michael - as the universe won't let all the good you do for the tribe not come back to you 10 fold. I can say from my own experience - copy cats and nay sayers aside, what you have created with Taxi is the real deal and it works if you are consistent in effort, open to get better and really just embrace the model. 1000 thanks to you for that, Michael, as well as to all those who make up the community - or to quote you Michael. " fill the barn you built"
Data crunching is exhausting but very rewarding - I really haven't done anything comprehensive on the submission, forward, deal ratios since earlier this year at just passing my 1 year mark - a point which I decided to stop noobing around and not only submit, but watch, engage, and get off the sidelines and be more well rounded in effort - still working on it
Love the 90% from Hummingbird, I'm afraid to say that ratios at time of review hadn't proven so robust - but at my last data dive fell somewhere between the 6% published by Taxi and the 15% average on the responses in this thread.
I can say, however, that ratios are on the rise since being more strategic in approach and not just submitting and forgetting, but adopting the tri fecta of Road Rally, forum participation and Taxi TV.
