		<description>Wouldn&#039;t rather be &quot;making a living&quot; any other way.  Buying some land on a lake soon and building my dream house.  Can&#039;t do that from the comfort of a cubicle.</description>

		<description>Joseph - true, the work does change.  Some things get more fun, others are new things you don&#039;t like any more than the old things that were a pain in your butt.  Anything that doesn&#039;t include sitting on the beach all day drinking margaritas is work to me, so I don&#039;t make a big deal about what I have to do to stay out of the recession everyone else is in!</description>

		<description>Jack, 

This is something I need to be reminded of all the time. 

Breaking from the herd requires courage, and the guts to do it.  But any would-be leaders cannot succeed until and unless they begin leading.  

That sometimes takes to strike out in new directions, generating new ideas, deciding not to comform to conventional idea. 

With blogging, things are very transparent.  The challenge is every word a blogger says holds him/her accountable.  At the same time, that&#039;s a huge opportunity to lead if done right.

		<description>Jack,

You&#039;re spot on with this post...blogging success, or success in any business, requires work (some struggle), and making some mistakes...to make the haul.

And, many think there is an &quot;end point&quot; where the money just keeps coming in, and they can quit working altogether...but the work simply changes, it never stops.</description>

		<description>Some new bloggers believe that they can make thousands of dollars in less than a week. These people would post 10+ posts per day, and pray that they get lots of traffic. Then a week has gone by, and they get about 5 unique visitors for the entire week. Finally, they get frustrated with blogging so they end up &quot;disappearing&quot;.

Thanks for pointing out the hard work that successful bloggers have gone through.

		<description>Jack using a reference to your former career as the &quot;Great Elk Whisperer&quot;
made for a great story. Explaing the importance of using a team to establish your credibility and standing in the social media arena.

As a former aircraft refinisher I&#039;d say &quot;you painted a pretty picture&quot;
That&#039;s what keeps me coming back.
