I know this post is late. It’s already Monday. In the past two months, I have been working very hard on my new project. I did not pay too much attention on this blog at all. While working online and offline, I realized that my challenge is getting bigger and bigger. With few other huge corporations jumping into the game, I have to act fast to make changes and be ahead of them.
Changes has to be made and changing is coming.
As much as I love to write blog post about my life and my journey, I also read other entrepreneur’s blog posts everyday. I have learned many things from other bloggers. I would recommend anyone who wants to become their own boss and living the life they dream of to read the following blogs.
- Akemi’s Yes To Me – Inside Out Approach To Entrepreneurship. Akemi is one of the blogger I really like to meet some day. She has a lot of too offer and she has been one of the motivators on my journey.
- Mark Hayward’s My Tropical Escape – I don’t know how long I have known Mark. He is also one of the motivators who inspired me to continue my journey. He recently started a new organization with a very good cause. I am glad that I can help as one of the sponsor.
- Jarkko Laine’s Insanely Interested. Clean blogs that always give me some fresh idea about how other entrepreneur are thinking and doing.
These are just few of the blogs I read everyday. Over the weekend, I asked few questions to myself.
What do I have to offer to my readers? – It seems to me that most readers don’t even care about my journey. They found me because some computer issues.
Will people read my blog when I am famous? - I don’t know yet!
Will I have time to post more when I am so busy on my business? I don’t know either, since writing is that last thing I want to do.
What is my biggest fear on my Entrepreneur Journey?
- My biggest fear is not be able to handle the growth of the success.
- My second biggest fear is to trap myself and my families back into 9-5 working schedule again and not be able to free our life.
- I am afraid of being sick and not be able to enjoy the success and achievement after all the hard working.
What’s your fears?
Hi, thank you for the mention.
Inside Out Approach To Entrepreneurship series is a very ambitious one, and I’m excited to hear so many responses. I just posted the second article of the series.
More and more luck and opportunities for your business!
Akemi

@Akemi:
I just read your second post few hours ago. Very nice. I felt that you are reading my mind. I have been reading your blog for a long time. I will keep reading it. It’s very motivational.
@Mark:
I am sure I will keep posting on this blog. I just need to adjust the direction of my blog once again. I was not doing good enough to make it for good use.
Don’t worry – I get that your life is hectic at the moment – it is quality, not quantity that counts
Terence, there are bloggers out there who blog for the sheer joy of blogging and visit other blogs to learn about other bloggers. Many of them do not monetize their blogs and they too matter.
Yep, just like Mark, I find your blog interesting to read. Especially your experiences in the world of business.
Your fears sound really familiar to me. But right now I’m mostly afraid of failure. Not so much the moment of failure but the idea that what if I put in a lot of effort and then some day realize that it wasn’t worth it… I know this is not how it usually goes — even failures can be useful as experiences. But it still scares me.
And then, I’m also scared that I’m moving too slowly and passing by good opportunities just because I’m stuck doing some things I have to – and don’t have the courage not to do… But then again, there are only so many hours in a day.
So, I guess that’s the point: there are many things you can be scared of, but in the end that doesn’t matter. You just keep moving and hope for the best
We’ll make it! I’m sure.
Ha, I care about your journey
I am at least as regular as a reader as you are on my blog and even though you are a few years older I can related to a lot of your thoughts!
I just checked out your smile my day and I have to say it’s such a positive website, it’s great to brigthen up my day every once in a while. Hopefully it will help you on your journey somehow. At least it’s probably very good for your karma
A personal blog is great, but once it is only personal you have to live with fewer readers unless you are famous. In case you want to document what you are doing it’s a great way to keep yourself responsible and you can meet interesting people along the way.

@Rummuser:
Thank you for the great response. I enjoy reading more thatn writing, but I am sure I will update my site ONCE A WHILE.
@Sven:
Thank you for visiting the happiest blog. Since I started my new project, I become more aggressive on offline social networking and working on my project. It takes too much time on writing blog post cross many sites.
I guess focusing on the long term goals is where I am moving forward to.

@Jarkko:
Thank you! I am moving forward for sure. You are right. Even failures can be userful, but we hope not to have anyone of that.
@Simon From Otooo:
Thank you for stopping by. Stay tune! You will know what I am working on soon.
hey Terence!
to answer a few of the questions, I think you offer support to your readers, no matter whether that is on technical issues, life in general or internet marketers journey, and that is why I return now and will in the future. You have a real ability to engage your readers and make them feel appreciated, so they will come back no matter what you write about. Or atleast that is how I see it, you show interest and seem to be a very likable person, warm and with loads of empathy which makes other people interested in you as a person, not just the marketer!
Whether you will be able to keep posting, time will tell, it would be nice though to be able to keep reading some updates every so often to know that an internet marketer I have grown to love and appreciate is doing absolutely great!
Don´t be afraid of anything, since fear will only limit you and stay in the back of your head. Go full speed ahead and grow, and you will find that the things you are worried about now really aren´t any issue in the future
Focus on the positive my Friend!
have a great weekend,
