I tried corporate America for about 5 minutes. It didn't take. I left my job (Just Over Broke) and started my own company in 03. Yes it can be challenging, but the rewards are much greater than the pain. <em>Steve Heideman's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/arizonamortgagenews/tixH/~3/487099987/' rel="nofollow">How to Shop for a Mortgage and not get Screwed</a></em> Great post.

I have a full-time job and I just bought Naomi's OBS about 3 days ago. I feel like I have so much to do, yet I'm very excited! Since I'm just starting this out, I'm sure I'll be have the tiny streams to start out with, but it's heartening to hear that you can do this (and even "up the ante" so to speak) and not be spending all your time working. That is one of the things I'm afraid of, that in order to "get things going" I will be working day and night. So thanks for giving me added encouragement that I can do this and not be working 24/7. I'm willing to put in the time...I just still want to have a good work/life balance. Thanks again! Thank you for this post! I have a full-time job and I just bought Naomi’s OBS about 3 days ago.

I also have a full-time job and do the (time management!) coaching thing after hours. That's where I'm at now? Growing those multiple streams into bigger streams. In fact, reading yours and Naomi's blogs, I realise I really SUCK at selling ebooks! Dave, I love this post. I also have a full-time job and do the (time management!) coaching thing after hours.

I worked in HR/Training. For a long time, I wondered why people still looked at getting a job as "security". I've seen people be let go or laid off for all sorts of reasons. Job security and depending on a corporation for your survival is a myth.

You're definitely the #1, man, you got me started & I'll never forget that. I remember that week I got stuck on a business trip and you gave me a ton of freelance writing to do, and I was able to give my 5 year old a huge birthday party with his whole class there. I thank you, Joey thanks you, and Chuck E. Cheese thanks you (in his own creepy, animatronic way). @Brett –
