- Click HERE to check out Readers' Remarks for my first Obstacle Branded e-book. Since it first came out in the summer of 2012, I have sold a few hundred for $7.99, but a friend recently asked why not sell a few thousand for $2.99. I thought that was a great idea. So far, so good! Read it today and you will probably finish it today. See improvements in your relationships for all your tomorrows. (Was that clever or just sappy? I read it a few times and decided it was sappy...but too late. I already posted it.) Anyway, consider investing $2.99 today. Check out the Readers' Remarks.
