		<description>Hi John,

Sorry it took so long to respond to you.  You know, I ended up ignoring just about every plan I had before I went into this.  It's a bit like unwrapping a gift, when you don't know what's inside.  It's heavily covered in layers but as you peel off you begin to see the shape.  I've made many mistakes and missteps, but I'm still peeling.

		<description>Ari - This series is so timely and helpful to me. I'm doing exactly the same thing - though I haven't been able to stick with any of my numerous deadlines. Now it's more urgent to make these experiments work so it's a round-the-clock push. The courage to experiment, to drop the sites that don't work, choose carefully to put the greatest effort in those that are promising financially is a tough one but so necessary. To this point I've been writing primarily about my own recovery, and it's hard to switch gears to other things I know well but that are less vital to my inner health.

It's encouraging to know I'm hardly alone in the experiences I've going through.

Thanks so much for being so open about this process.

All my best to you  --  John

		<description>Chris,

Thanks for that comment.  Indeed, it's like peeling an onion -- this self-employment thing has been a very intense growing experience so far.  It seems that each week I discover something within myself that I need to overcome.

		<description>Thanks for this post.  I'm reminded of what David Deida says about finding your purpose in life:  that it's like peeling away the layers of an onion, in that it takes some willingness to experiment with different possibilities to get to the core.  It's against the conventional wisdom in our society, which calls us "flakes" for experimenting.  But if we want to live on purpose it seems we need to go against that grain.
