In six months, you've managed to get on LifeHacker, Delicious and probably countless others I'm unaware of ... doing something you evidentally love doing. Doing what you love is great advice and a good reminder to me.

I've been employed with several large companies, including the world's biggest petrochemical giant. I've done contract work, and I've even gone into business. I've held well-paid executive positions. Today, I own several web businesses. I've learnt that there's NO job security, no matter how hard-working and dedicated you are. You only have security, and immense satisfaction, when you know how to fish for yourself. The internet is HUGE and filled with amazing opportunities. I decide my own income and my time is my own. I only wish I had started earlier. I had to change my mindset, leave my comfort zone, and learn new things. I'm so glad I did. Don't EVER depend on employment! Here's my 2 cents worth on careers.

That's a great question, and I ended up asking my best technical advisor (and ex-boyfriend) the same question a few weeks ago. Each blog entry has it's own URL. So if you want to send one of my blog entries to fifty of your friends (great idea, huh?) then you can click "permalink" and copy the URL from the address window into an email for your friends. I hope this makes sense. If not, maybe I will publish the phone number for my ex-boyfriend or something.... Penelope Hi, Tim.
