All the stories were inspiring but yours was the one that grabbed me. Why? I definitely don't fit into your targeted niche (my kids are grown and now have babies of their own.) It is because I am overwhelmed & lost when it comes to all the paperwork etc needed to get things set up to make my beginning ventures into a "real" business. I have been a freelance Coldfusion Programmer / Web Developer/Designer for quite a while but a few months ago I realized I was burned out. About that time I saw Robert Kiyosaki on PBS and had a second realization I owned a job that owned me - if I am not continually churning out code I have no income. So then I started thinking about what I could do to change things (frankly I was tired) so bit by bit I have put together a good plan for me, BUT I hit a wall when it came to putting my legal and paperwork ducks in a row, all those things I need to do to actually start a business and I am hoping your blog and videos will teach me step by step, be my "virtual mentor" so to speak when it comes to this side of things. Best of Luck, Megan PS - I absolutely LOVE your logo/branding image in the header - it's the perfect visual metaphor Hi Ian – I found your blog from listening to the recent IBM podcast.

When you join a Mastermind Group, the members may be in the same industry (like in Sterling's case, internet business owners) but they are almost always in non-competing businesses. This lets you talk freely and give and get help without fear. @ Chris

With a business to run and family responsibilities at home, it's easy to fall into a situation where you have no mental down time. It's important to take a few hours each week to unplug, and going to a movie is a great way to do that. No cell phone, no email or blackberry, and if you're lucky, you actually get lost in a story for a couple hours. I am going to give it a try myself this Friday. Of course, with a 7 week old at home, I will probably fall asleep! @ Sterling,

I like getting different perspectives on the projects that I am working on. Usually during my get-togethers, I get an idea on how I can improve my projects. I am also able to see how others run their businesses in a very safe and comfortable environment. Great Blog – Keep them coming!

We really enjoyed having you on the show, which will be going up later this week! I have kids myself and one way I steal a little adult time is I have started a Mastermind Group. There are about 8 of us full time internet business owners and we get together every two weeks and talk about business and even just about stuff going on in our lives! I am also in two national mastermind groups. I also go out on Friday afternoon and go see a movie nearly every week, just to get out of the office! Thanks, Sterling First off, thanks for the mention!
