LOL. Yes, I got lots more wisdom out of the two posts and all the comments than that. And I’ll definitely be pondering.

All while waiting anxiously for Monday.

Make sure to keep us posted! @ James - I'm so impressed! It's true, though. Everyone thinks I'm still poor. I buy presents for people and they look at me like I'm crazy. "Can you afford this?" they ask. Um, it's a $25 gift certificate to a music store. Yeah, I hope so. :) @ Shane - I am breathless with anticipation to see how it turns out. I have no doubt <em>you'll</em> keep us posted. @ Christine - "Interesting" isn't the half of it. I'm thinking of starting a "traumatic childhood" blog. And you're right - this is definitely the fun part. @ Lodewijkvdb – I’ll definitely be interested to see how your story turns out, and I wish you the best of luck. Make sure to keep us posted!

I didn't know all of this about you - what an interesting childhood you seem to have had! My biggest mistake was NOT going with my own instincts early on. The moment that I stopped listening to what a certain "other person" thought I should do and decided to forge my own path, I had more work than I could handle. But then I realized something... having more work than you can handle is not an ideal situation either. Being in this situation, with dollars tied directly to the number of hours worked is not freedom. Thus, my quest for passive income. I truly believe that the road to unlearning everything we've ever learned about making money traditionally is a long and interesting road. Right now I am writing the next chapter in this installment. Though I am successful now to some measure, I don't feel it is true success until I can create a system that provides an unlimited number people with more value - thus generating unlimited income without spending unlimited time. This is the next part of the journey... the fun part! Christine Wow Naomi! I didn’t know all of this about you – what an interesting childhood you seem to have had!

The biggest problem we had in 2006 & 2007 was that we grew too quickly, beyond our ability to lead and the capacity of our team. I wrote about it while it was happening: http://blog.shaneandpeter.com/2007/07/31/growing-pains-managing-the-explosion/ and I have to admit that this was really tough. We are planning for it this year. You know – I relate. The biggest problem we had in 2006 & 2007 was that we grew too quickly, beyond our ability to lead and the capacity of our team.
