BO EK: That’s the beauty of working for yourself, I don’t have to worry what people think of me. I don’t partner with anyone, and I don’t work for anyone but myself

Dan: Yeah, that’s a point that many people are missing. I’m RELAXED. I’m trying to work a bit more as I’m a bit too relaxed, but the whole point of working for yourself is to be able to not work 8 hours a day and slave your life away!

ROI_Guy: Regarding your comment towards BO EK, I just wanted to add that I’ve always respected non-native English speakers MORE, even if their English was very poor. How many people can speak two languages? I’m envious if anything. What I do hate, though, is people who can barely speak English, but English is their only language!

There are some good thoughts behind the registration option but they are also some very dumb ones. It seems like a ton of the useful things on the ‘Net are just great and as enticing as a candy store with free samples and then they “stub their toe” just as people start to use them. Sure, registration is easy, but people don’t like it … so guess what, if they don’t like it, _they_ rule. So great move on losing the registration.

As far as those with negative comments about hours of work … if you think everyone should work 40 hour weeks or else they are “slackers” well, welcome to Wal*Mart … they have plenty of time card punching jobs. The main object in life should be to work smarter, not harder. Very short-sighted to make a direct connection between hours worked and success/dedication to success.

Surprised no one commented much on the suit. You may well find out it’s a good business investment in the future. I like some of the advice Brendon Sinclair gives on his business/marketing site and in the free chapters of his Web Design business course. Being well dressed isn’t just a pride or a look-good thing, there’s significant psychological proof that people trust (and there fore buy from) those who appear “higher up the chain” than themselves … call it dumb, call it vain, doesn’t matter, it is the way life works.

@ Bo EK (and others who don’t have English as a first language). Since most North American natives like me are barely fluent in one language I have a great respect for those who have learned and make use of several. Don’t be self-conscious and draw attention to what you feel are your short-comings, it clutters your writing and detracts from the value of your work. Your English has nothing to be apologetic about … most of the biggest boners I see in English usage are from careless native speakers like me who might or might not know better, but just don’t take the time … do you really think ShoeMoney doesn’t know the difference between there, their and they’re?

Sorry to hear of your loss, Tyler.

Tyler’s results are pretty bad if all he does is answer emails. Hopefully, he can do more…
