I'm glad to recognize such a talented and influential person. I still remember how excited I was to meet you at WordCamp. OK, does that make me a big geek? :) Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:48:40 +0000 http://www.webbusinessfreedom.com/2009/07/who-inspires-you-heres-my-partial-list/#IDComment28096365 http://www.webbusinessfreedom.com/2009/07/who-inspires-you-heres-my-partial-list/#IDComment28068901 Corey, it was my pleasure. I'm also excited to have teamed up with you to teach social media marketing. Keep kicking me in the pants to blog more frequently!

Glad you enjoyed this. I look forward to catching up in person.

I was single at the time and figured I'd have plenty of time to raise a puppy--how hard could it be? Boy, was I wrong! So in addition to stressing out over making money, suddenly I had a yapping, peeing Lab puppy biting my ankles all day. She was wonderful, but high maintenance. So I recommend to others that they think twice before trying to launch a home-based business and also get a new pet, or in my case have a new baby, at the same time. :) If you can plan your life better than I have, get the babies out of diapers and the pets potty trained first! And I also confess to finishing my initial article in shorts and a t-shirt, supposedly on a "day off." So much for being able to "turn it off" when you work from home!

However, I really admire and respect those who are able to both work from home and earn not just a decent living but sustainable, increasing profits I guess it really depends on the nature of your business, and for the more "virtual" services then it's entirely possible to work from home for a long time and be quite successful. Otherwise, it is a great problem when you get to a certain point and "outgrow" your home office. Then you can reclaim it as a guest or bonus room! :) Tue, 5 May 2009 17:36:56 +0000 http://www.webbusinessfreedom.com/2009/05/how-to-work-from-home-without-driving-yourself-and-others-crazy/#IDComment20819537 http://www.webbusinessfreedom.com/2009/05/how-to-work-from-home-without-driving-yourself-and-others-crazy/#IDComment20818776 Nathan, thanks for mentioning the idea of using Twitter and tweetups, etc. to get out of the home office and connect with others in the "real world." That's vital. I'm personally out of the house a great deal as well. And as much as it's nice to save some money working from home, I'm a big believer in eventually getting a "real" office. Maybe that's just me. But I've rarely met really successful entrepreneurs who work from home, though of course it's more conceivable and possible thanks to the plethora of inexpensive web tools now! Yet when you get to the point where you need employees or a credible place to meet with clientele, the home office loses its appeal. And for me, the physical separation of "home" and "work" can be significant boosts to productivity and long-term happiness.

For the feature set, it looks extremely affordable.

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:23:30 +0000 http://www.webbusinessfreedom.com/2008/10/how-to-start-a-website-using-wordpress-part-2/#IDComment19431789 http://www.webbusinessfreedom.com/2009/02/social-media-how-tos-the-essentials-you-need-to-get-started/#IDComment18086786 David, as far as I know there is no software for creating accounts on social media sites (you mentioned bookmarking sites, but I'm being more general here). Right now, there are just too many different variables depending on the site, that I'm not sure how one tool could tie into them all. But with the growth of services like Facebook Connect and Google Friend Connect, we'll probably start seeing tools like this come along in the not-too-distant future.

One of the greatest things about Twitter is "meeting" intelligent, funny and helpful people like you who are halfway across the country or around the world. There are of course other tools that facilitate these chance encounters, but none I've found as powerful as Twitter. You're a fantastic role model for others to watch and learn from.

Gary Vee is the man!
