I’m grateful for the fact that I have the entrepreneurial spirit. It’s one of those things that I tend to take for granted until I am reminded how differently entrepreneurs think than the rest of the world. We have an endless number of options and choices where others see few, if any, bright opportunities.

“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” — Dale Carnegie
I took a break from this blog for a couple of months. Actually, some of my time away was forced. I had another offline commitment that deserved my full attention. But, as I wrapped that project up I began addressing some [...]

When I first started looking for ways to make online money, I was assured that all I had to do was find something I was passionate about. I thought about my hobbies and passions. But I couldn’t envision turning any of them into an online money making opportunity.
