I want <i>every single self-employed person on the planet</i> to read those words. Had I gotten over my fear of selling 15 years ago, I'd be retired by now. That's not hyperbole. I was in the right place at the right time in this web explosion, and the thing that kept me from being an overnight success in the early days of the web was not technical ability, it was business ability—specifically, the ability and desire to <b>sell</b> my services. Maybe it's 15 years too late, but, man, I'm sure glad I know you, Jerry. My life is more than my business, but I love what I do, and it's the vehicle that's going to provide my family with the life to which we intend to become accustomed. Conquering my fear of selling (still working on it!) is the key that's gonna make it happen. Great googlymooglies! I want every single self-employed person on the planet to read those words.
