You are succesful because you love what you&#039;re doing and that&#039;s what a lot of people don&#039;t understand...they see blogging and other similar tools as a get rich quick scheme and start posting all kinds of stuff that don&#039;t make sense to them or have no use to anyone.  Anyway keep at it and I hope to see more from you soon!Alan</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Damien,</p><p>Really appreciate your honest words.

isPermaLink="false">http://potpolitics.com/?p=3616#comment-7815</guid> <description>Yes and there are bumps indeed! The hardest thing for me is when I mentor someone new and after a couple weeks they are like, &quot;When can I make money.&quot; It&#039;s like knitting a fishing net. It doesn&#039;y make any sense to throw it in the water until it&#039;s big enough to get something. It can be bumpy even after you start making bucks.Thanks for your comment.  People should know that I actually have 4 blogs and a podcast. It takes all of them for me to make the figure mentioned above. Having said that, some make more than others.  Right now my teaching blog is my biggest earner. You can find them all linked at http://www.rileycentral.net/

Anyway, good words Damien, especially on the subject of writing what you love and enjoy.. Passion has always gotta be the driving force, otherwise what&#039;ll motivate us to get over the bumps?

There are only two ways to lose at almost anything: run out of time or quit. We can&#039;t a;ways control time, but we can sure not quit. Your earnings are proof that you have the stick-to-it-ness necessary.I checked out your blog, too. Good content, but I expected that since John is implicitly recommending you. He hasn&#039;t let me down yet.

Sometimes I get too caught up in fussing under the hood and need to just drive the car. Potpolitics is on my Google reader and I always get pumped up when I read it. Thanks for your comment, I agree I was lucky to guest blog. Hope to catch up with you down the line.
