We aren’t cut-throat. We share successes and miseries. And when one thing works, we really don't retain it to ourselves – we want it to operate for all of us. I adore blogging and hope that it becomes full-time an individual day, but I appreciate the mastering and growing (the journey) and am a really patient man.

It tells us, how many people would establish a business on what they love? How many people would say that their dreams of having business they love are reach? If you want to have a successful business and career, you should not depend to other people efforts and jeopardize your money to be taken away from them. YOU should be the one to handle your business. You should have creativity and it starts from YOU! Don’t stop believing that you can reach something out from your originality!

After they've destroyed all semblance of neighborhoodiness, they then will preach that they love neighborhoods and friendliness. So they change their practices to be more community oriented. Then everyone goes along with it! Be a rockstar! Don't fake rockstarness after you've decided to give it up. keep on rockin', Scott! Eric Scott,

keep on rockin’, Scott!

I don't know if you've seen this or not, but Gary Vaynerchuk just talked about something similar (effort and whether or not it is scalable).

I wasn't saying that naming my blog "Scott H Young" was a good idea. Or that people cared about me. They don't. What differentiates a rockstar from a record label isn't the fame of the rockstar, but that they can't be replicated. Other blogs can mimic the content style of this website, but they can't replicate it perfectly unless they have me. Zen Habits isn't about Leo Babauta, but without Leo, there wouldn't be Zen Habits. His writing style is a competitive strength that only he has access to. And no, I don't by any means consider myself a rockstar. -Scott Rob,

I don’t visit a web site to read about the author. (You need to be a famous Rockstar author for this to happen) I don’t really care who “Scott H Young” is. What I do care about is “Getting More from Life” As a consumer I think the title should reflect the article and the content that I can expect in the future. Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed your writing, but I think you need to focus your writing on the title and not your name. (Just until you are a famous Rockstar author) Thanks Rob Sorry Rockstar but I have to disagree. I don’t visit a web site to read about the author.

I found that my bent asset in blogging has been... well... me :D But the thing is... you CAN make your business be completely centered around you, and still be scalable. It's just about how you approach it. If you give 1-on-1 consultations, it won't work. If you give speeches in front of thousands of people, record CDs and DVD and... well... publish a blog :)... then you're fine. But I think you already knew that. Anyway, good luck with your journey of becoming a blogging rockstar! Adding to your list, VladDolezal.com :p
