I had gotten a bit off of the purpose for this blog, which, I suppose, is one of the reasons I didn't post much. I was just working for a living, being really busy, doing ok. And the subject here is really to go beyond that. So, back on track. No big deal.
There's also the ongoing dilemma of whether one writes/talks about something only when one has mastered it, or when one is in the process of figuring it out.
Most of the motivational/entrepeneurial books and seminars you see are naturally done by people who've already figured things out. Or who at least pretend that they have. But the trouble is that, even if it looks great and they try to explain things really clearly, we don't really succeed in grasping how to get from A to B. In part because they're living in a different world than we are. By "we", I mean the "normal" people who would like to move from being workers paid by the hour or month to being entrepreneurs who transcend that world through the projects they create.
Sometimes one can learn better from somebody who currently is finding their way through the maze, at least if we assume that they ultimately get out, which not everybody does.
Anyway, this was just to mention my dilemma of whether I write about stuff I've mastered or about stuff I'm in the process of figuring out. In the past I've found that I write better about stuff while I'm learning it than when I've learned it.
The reason I at all got back into my blog here is that I again am in the mindset of a web entrepreneur. In part because it is a slow period for what I otherwise get paid for, so I have more time. "Hard times" is all the better a reason for being entrepreneurial.
I dusted off my various affiliate accounts I hadn't logged into for a long time. Got some pleasant surprises. For example, I had $1400 waiting in my Google Adsense account, as I had forgotten to change my address, so the checks were returned.
I got embarrassed to notice that I have thousands of daily visitors to various of my websites that I'm not doing much with.
So, now I'm again watching my numbers every day, and working on a few projects that will increase them. I will aim at keeping you more posted.
