Thanks for sharing your experience Harold and happy 10th anniversary. It is motivating stuff for those of us who are nearer the beginning of that 10 year journey than the end.

I'm reminded how often I have to ignore the well-meaning advice of friends who think the only thing I should focus on is "selling myself" in traditional ways as if I'm a pre-packaged commodity desperately seeking a buyer.

Well, I don't want a job - it's much more fun to create one - and I think one of the best ways (but not the only way) is to sell myself is through sharing the best of my ideas, creativity and experiences with the world via my blog. Your post gives me strength to continue with that.

Thanks again.
