Hi Gabriella, your 20 years experience is encouraging. Working for myself for almost six months has been fulfilling so far. I appreciate the confidence in me and wise words.

Hello emory,that’s awesome I love seeing anyone taking control of their future. Personally I’ve been working for myself for almost 20 years now. I have never looked back. I will admit some months I make $0 but the next month I make up for it. Basically it’s a constant push to do better especially when you have to put bread on the table.

I have no doubt you will be a success it’s always scary but you seem to have a lot of great people believing in you & that in itself is already motivating.

Oo one last thing I wanted to mention partner with like-minded services. Don’t be afraid of competition. With 1.9 billion users on the World Wide Web, there’s enough to go around.

Well said, Thomas. SEO is one skill in the toolbox and one channel in the revenue stream for accomplishing the objective. It’s my favorite, but still just one :)

Blogging and social media really do seem to be converging. It’s interesting too, to see how individuals can be “famous” within a niche. They are no less loved than a big name celebrity. Keep up the fight and please continue to share how things are going.

Re: doing social media all day – that’s happening to me more and more even as I comment on blogs more and more. I have to help promote others, and I have to give others a chance to give something back to me.

I actually cannot conceive of blogging without social media at this point. Someone asked me about how people were reacting to the Maimonides post, and I had to go to a number of sites to show the reactions. It’s very strange how “fame” – if this can be called that – works online.

Hey George, I am trying to maintain discipline as I know that’s the downfall of lots of lone ventures. Time does seem to go by a lot faster. The interruptions are few, but the distractions seem more numerous and intense. Who’s going to stop me from just loading up a game of Modern Warfare 2 if I don’t feel like working? You know what I mean.

The “behind the doors” reference applies a great deal to blogging. I feel a lot more free to speak out about things I learned during the agency days, whereas before, I kind of felt restrained. Thanks for the well wishes. I miss you guys as well–all the comaraderie and teamwork and heck, even the meetings :)
