But if you\'re smart, if you\'re adding value, if you have a decent business model, and if you have the support and cheerleading of others who believe in you (even when YOU start to doubt), you can succeed. I look forward, hopefully next June, to symbolically torching the last statement for my startup debt. That WILL be blogged!</div>\

Pick a market and a niche that you love and dig into it with both heels and work your A#% off... I mean really work (very, very hard) to provide help and quality to others in your niche. You WILL build a following and that loyal following will support your lifestyle.<br><br>Do something real, don\'t focus on the money, focus on the people that have the money by helping them... I mean really help them and the money will come. If any aspect of your business is not focused on the people that would support it (with money), you are in a short-term business and will have to rebuild, again and again ...

To have your Dad tell you that you need to quit playing on the computer and get a real job can really knock you down a notch too.  It is just that he is older and doesn\'t understand the power or the internet.  His extent of the internet is receiving jokes through email and sharing the jokes at the local coffee shop.  <br>It is really tough when the economy gets bad, and your family demands change and your role in your  in these change becomes more challenging.  Such as a family illness, children in college and rising cost of tuition.  It becomes really hard to even want to get out of bed in the mornings.  <br>All the encouragement we give each other helps each and every one of us. <br>Thanks so much for the comment, as I haven\'t been able to make a post on my site for a couple of weeks because at the moment I am at my kids home at college, my daughter got sick and I came to help her catch up on things around here.  My Mom is sick and she is aging and I feel like every moment with her is precious.  I don\'t want to give up in these hard times, but I feel more challenged today than I have in a very, very, long time.</div>\

Often they don\'t have the people skills to really build enough of the solid kinds of relationships that it takes to prosper in business on one\'s own, but are transactional with too many people--which I liken to providing a quick sugar rush rather than lasting nourishment. And to encourage these folks is, I\'m afraid, not merely counterproductive, but sometimes doing them a terrible disservice. Through long experience I\'ve come to believe that an awful lot of people really should be working for others. Each of us has to look deep within and be honest about whether they\'re such a person.</div>\
