		<description>I too have been at this IM thing for one year plus, and am putting in significant hours with sporadic paydays. But, I am pursuing my dream and am still confident that dream will be a reality very soon. Many people quit right before they reach the top of the mountain and never realize they were inches from getting over the top and letting that momentum carry them down that hill to success and happiness. I have found a common thread of successful people to emulate in a specific type of business model that I believe to be one of the most effective and lasting ways to become successful as your own boss. Best of luck to all who read this. Bill</description>

		<description>Hi Kathy - I think this is my first visit but who knows? Frankly I just can&#039;t keep track anymore. I&#039;m also impressed by Cath&#039;s candidness and I paid you a visit from Barbara&#039;s new directory. I read the post because I&#039;m a sucker for anything with authenticity in the title. I&#039;ll subscribe and see what else is up your sleeve.

I&#039;ve never heard a BETTER description of my &quot;management style&quot; than &quot;trying to reroute rivers!&quot;  PRICELESS!!!

@Davina
I worked for a regional shop in the Chicagoland area over 2 decades ago.   We specialized in &quot;small&quot; accounts spending $10K- $20K per month.  All the work of working with the big boys, but much, much less money.  The shop closed a few years after I left for the &quot;mommy track&quot;.  

@Cath

It&#039;s strange, but you can almost &quot;smell&quot; the scent of someone else who has REALLY done this.  (So glad to hear there is hope for me when it comes to hiring employees!  I fired my first one last year and it actually felt GOOD!)

@Jannie,

WELCOME ABOARD!!!  Blogging is fun!  It gets better - just wait!</description>

		<description>Me, a newish blogger, is very inspired by you, Cath and Liz.  Thanks.

Oh, and another great blog is by Christine Kane.

This blogging stuff is so much fun!  Why&#039;d I wait so long to do it?
