Darren,
“Dream big but be willing to adjust your behavior to reach it”
is advice more valuable than money. Though I’ve also heard this expressed as, “reach for the sky but keep your feet on the ground,” your way helps get the feet airborne! Thank you

Hmm, I didn’t really see this as a tangent, more as an example of how goals and what we do each day may not always match up. Isn’t that what happens to most of us, anyways?

Thinking Big

Most people I have met wish to become successful in their lifetime. To each one, success has its own connotation. One person may just want to live comfortably, while another is looking for millions of dollars. I have always had…

thanks for the comments. Here are a few responses…

Glad you like the tangent Ken.

Scivs – I’ve changed the link. Not sure how that happened.

Jennifer – there were many things they decided that they had to change. One example – they wanted their kids to be generous – and realised they might have to model that with the way they spent their money. They wanted their kids to be physically active and not spend too much time in front of the TV – so they decided that they should change their own habits in this area (they got rid of their TV all together) – etc…

Nicole – yeah – goals for blogs seems a bit of a weird concept – but I guess anything ‘professional’ could do with a goal or two… :-)

We need goals for blogging? Since when? :)

My goal has always been that my blog act as a creative outlet for myself while hopefully encouraging people to explore the great variety of rock and roll that exists out there outside of the mainstream labels and around the world. It is not where I would like it to be content-wise but as I approach my 2 year anniversary it is still fun, ocassionaly frustrating but always rewarding. Since the start of 2005 I have slowly been tweaking the revenue side of things, ensuring that they would compliment the site while hopefully paying off my expenses (Typepad, domain name registration, etc.) and with the help of Problogger I have met that goal. Would I like to do this full time? Sure! Will it happen? Maybe. For me the bottom line is I will continue to publish the Rock and Roll Report becuase I enjoy doing it. Any revenue that it generates is a direct result of my focusing on content and not “get rich” schemes and it is slowly paying off both literally and figuratively. Blog for fun, all the rest will follow in due time.

Now you got me all curious about the couple in your anecdote – what about their life was incompatible, what needed to change. You just left us hanging in the middle of the story. :)

Oh and this is a great post that should bring reality back to many people’s lives.

Is it possible to link to Jeremy’s post instead of the homepage?

I’ll have to say that I know many bloggers who post once a week and have big expectations for their blog. You can tell when the passion for the blog subject is not really there. I’ll try to get them to read your blogs, and maybe get inspired.

Yup, having something for us to take our mind away for a second is a relief sometimes. As for the questions, well, I’m coming up with a business plan but to what extent it will progress one it would depend on the authors I can garner for the project. :) Until that project is on the way, then I’ll be prepared to answer those questions from a personal view.

Cheers.

Darren, tangents are great!

If all you talked about was blogging on this site, I think it would become quite boring after a while. The beauty of blogging is sharing anecdotes and personal experiences that help support what you are trying to say. They also speak a lot about your own background and what makes you tick. At least for me. It’s fun and helps me get to know you as a person instead of a just another blogger.

Keep the tangents coming!
