If you're not having FUN, your businesses probably aren't doing as well as they could be. Having more fun may just result in making more money. It did for me. I used to be a workaholic.

A nasty divorce made me see the error of my ways and I have made a concisous effort to be a better more in the now person.

I've heard the suggestion of carrying a notebook around from several people. I suppose it's something I should probably try ... I'm sure it would help me come up with more posts, with less actual time spent in front of the computer. As for the blog design ... glad you like it. I've posted before, I'm a bit of a theme junkie. This one was a paid theme (just $75 though), so hopefully it will be a bit longer before I get bored with it. I actually updated all three of my main blogs (alohateam.com, candlemonkey.com, and this one) with this template, but different color schemes. I'm developing a pretty good basic understanding of CSS and PHP ... who knows, maybe if I can find some time to do a bit more in depth learning, I might be able to pop out a few custom themes of my own one day. I appreciate you stopping by ... catch up with you again soon. Todd Hey Bobby,

My business goals are really to become a published author. I have 3 books I am working on now, which are taking years to write. Having said that, I never let it get in the way of my family or friends. What's funny is that I carry a notebook with me 24-7 no matter where I go because I run across ideas in the strangest places - my friends and family are used to my quirky ways...lol. But yeah, loving what you do and having fun with it can only help success. All work isn't meant to be pure drudgery. Your blog looks great, I really love this template! <em>Bobby Revell's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Revellian/~3/258820464/' rel="nofollow">The Waffle House Massacre</a></em> I really don’t spend that much time blogging, but I spend much time writing - I always have.

There was certainly a time when I tried to stick to the whole "post often and regular" thing. But now, I pretty much just make a post when I have something to say. And if I choose to spend a night watching tv with my wife instead, I don't feel the least bit guilty about it. :) Hi Lin,

I firmly believe that not posting every day, not following the recommendations of bloggers who say it is absolutely necessary to post daily in order to be successful, has done much to keep the balance. Spending quality time with my family, children and husband and other relatives, also gives me ideas of things to write about (although I do it without naming names) that has been appreciated by many readers who deal with the same type <strike>crap</strike> Stuff as I do. :) <em>Lin's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TellingItLikeItIs/~3/258201923/top-10-list-of-favorite-links.html' rel="nofollow">Top 10 List of Favorite Links</a></em> Finding a good balance between work/blogging and family hasn’t really been a problem for me, as I always keep in mind that my family is my first priority.
