About 5 years ago when I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do differently with my life after leaving the Corporate world, I bought a $100 package from Only 72, which supposedly sold a thousand bucks worth of knowledge and instruction to get one started in pursuing one's passion.
One of the links led me to the Barefoot Writer,which in gist would make one a home-based copywriter and earn thousands of dollars in the process. The idea was very appealing except that I did not do anything about it.
So, if I had just been diligent in following the process they recommended...which was to JUST WRITE!... maybe I would really have earned some money from writing by now.
The plus side to this though was that I did pursue my passion for drawing and illustrating, which has paid for some bills...but not enough to support a lifestyle.
Malcolm Gladwell,in his book The Outliers, mentioned that it needed 10,000 hours (approximately 10 years) to be really great at something to get noticed. I've "burned" approximately 5,000 already...but what's good about life is that I can start all over.
Maybe this time around I'll just throw myself at it...and not waste time looking for inspiration...as it will just come as i go along.

Not to be beaten by others is the only way to know the truth is earlier than others.Shine is not the sun's patent, you can shine.To take a risk! The whole life is an adventure, the most distant people are often willing to do, willing to take the risk of people.
