Give Up on Managed Services and Write a Book Instead!

So in planning an upcoming blog I was fishing for opinions from various community leaders.   My favorite response was from Vlad Mazek whom suggested:

Admit defeat and start writing books or throw a conference or peer group?
-Vlad (mobile)

Since I’m not the most creative guy in the world he proceeded to share with me some book or seminar topics that he believes I’m a Subject Matter Expert in. 

“How I made millions with spam sweepstakes $10 at a time”

“Vendor whoring for fun and profit”

“Peer groups: None of us are as dumb as all of us”

“Partner Networks: Blind Leading The Blind through the darkness of business incompetence.”

“MSP: Convert your premium rates to commodity fees”

“MSP: From hundreds of dollars at a time to a few dollars a month”

Can I write a guest chapter? “Embrace your inadequacies”

-Vlad (mobile)

You have got to love how fast Vlad can think while sitting in a restaurant spending my customer’s money on his lunch while I’m here selling his services.  Maybe he is right.  Crap, I hate it when Vlad is right.  Almost as bad as when David has a good question.  ;-) 

I would have a contest like Vlad where I ask you my readers to post your suggested topics and the winner gets an ipod but there are two problems with that.  First, I only have about 12 readers.  Second, Vlad would probably win and then he would give it away for his next contest so what’s the point?
