Now we are one
TheGoodBlogs turned one yesterday. A year ago, Tony aka Tealeaf and I decided we'd start something of our own. We had three rules... Firstly, was it had to be something we were passionate about. Secondly, we would focus on providing value first and making money second. Thirdly, we would have fun doing it. One year later, I'm thrilled to have fulfilled all three premises.
What did I learn?
What keeps us going? Finding comments on people's blogs that say, "I found you through TheGoodBlogs". Sweet...
BTW: did I tell you we read over 2000 blogs and make friends with some really, really awesome people. That has made my life so much richer, more than I could ever imagine.
What did I learn?
- Choose your partners well.
- Listen to your advisors, but your own decisions.
- Passion and fun are indivisible. If you're not having fun, it isn't your passion.
- Money is like oxygen, you need it to survive but it isn't the meaning of life.
- Life's a journey, you can map it but you don't really know what's around the bend.
- Question your assumptions everyday but don't second guess yourself. Nope it's not contradictory if you really think about.

Happy Anniversary Dude!
Thank you for sharing what you learned.
I understand this kind of experience doesn't fall out of the blue sky -- it just needs to learned. And some learn it easy, some the hard way.
I can read what you learned, and understand to some extent, but if I have to learn it, I have to live it.
Say Hi to Liz for me when you have a chance! Thanks :)
Thanks for the warm wishes. You're right about having to live it yourself. It's like looking at other people's travelogue instead of making your own journey.
I will say hi to Liz for you.
