But then you say something like: <blockquote>Motivation, Balance and Positive Thinking Were Once Nice to Have. They are Now Mandatory.</blockquote> ... and I realize, "yes, my work has a purpose, a place; people need it."

There is so many good points you have made here for those of us who are still learning to grow our blogs to success. This will be a great reference for those who aspire to following you into their own medias empires. At this point I need to get back on track, first a blog post to write. I always find inspiration on this blog and realise I must visit the other sites. Your comments on craft have aroused my interest, time to get my Suzie Cheel blog started.... can I do it before blog world? I can't find you in the program? which session are you doing?

My husband's business has taken off, but brought with it all kinds of unanticipated headaches and scary moments. I just blogged about it yesterday, and found the experience therapeutic, as I am sure you have sharing yours! Just because you have been in biz, and offering great biz advice, for a long while doesn't mean that you can't have your own struggles. In fact, I think it is impossible to grow in expertise without living through some really hairy situations. At the end of the day ... it is all about the story! And what a great story it is. Thanks for sharing, and for leading by example by being authentic, which is less common than the "it is easy to make millions on the internet with no effort" folks. Hogwash! :) -Pam Hi Wendy:
