Reading this wonderful post at Mashable this morning made me smile big. I have always pretty much lived by my own rules. Now saying this is not bragging, that’s for sure! Frank Sinatra is really one of the few people who got away with doing things, “My Way!” People, especially family and friends, get highly upset when you don’t follow the status quo. Don’t rock the boat, you hear, or at least I did. Thank God I wouldn’t listen. Like Thoreau mused, “I have taken the road less traveled, and that has made all the difference.”

But living life on my own terms has certainly carried a high price tag. However, I can say without hesitation that I am happy the majority of the time. If people are honest, you won’t find many who feel that way.
Make sure to read the post in the link above. It will remind you why you are an entrepreneur or self employed, which most of the people I know who read this blog are; either freelance writers or bloggers, or Internet Marketers.
Making your own rules, or at least not following the advice of the masses, is the only real way to remain true to yourself. If you trust your own good judgment, and know without doubt you are doing the right thing, in the end will only bring success. Stand tall, be proud. Confidence is theĀ most attractive feature you can possess.
(Oh yeah!) I have bought the domain for my business and life coaching site. Yee haw!) I will not share the link until I get it purty. :)

Hi Piter,
Thanks, I am so glad you like my blog. I started it three years ago when I first started writing full-time. The reason was just because the hosting was free and I wanted to crow about my newest publishing credits, but also to offer other writers links to helpful blogs and sites that would assist them in their writing endeavors. I have grown very fond of this blog over the years, even though there have been times I’ve gotten to busy to post, or neglected it for other reason. In the last few months my enthusiasm for writing has come back after a dry spell and also my interest in blogging here.
