If you are anything like me, you are constantly questioning and re-evaluating your own purpose, your own raison d'etre. Why? For me, it's because oftentimes, I find myself getting involved in things that seem unusual for me. So, I'll ask you some of the same questions I ask myself.

Why are you really doing this IM thing? What are you trying to achieve? What are you hoping to accomplish? What are you bringing of yourself to the world? What "special" thing do you have to offer?

These are the thoughts that were going through my mind at 2:00 AM this morning when I was too buzzed to sleep.

No, it's not just for the money, though that is a very compelling reason. Independence? Bingo!!! But there's something more. You have something special to do that can only be done by "you". And you have chosen a world stage in which to do it. You are as unique as a snowflake, so speak your truth so that we can all hear it. Love what you are doing, or don't do it. Believe what you are saying, or don't say it.

We are learning a technique, how to market something online. What you do with this knowledge, this "technique" is what really matters, and will be the ultimate reason for your success. Think about it. You can have all the technique in the world, but if you have nothing important to say, or nothing of real value to sell,  then who's going to buy it?
