The Blog

Didn’t You Used To Own BlogKits? What Happened?

Yes, I did own BlogKits.

I get this question a lot, so I figured it was about time to answer it publicly. The truth? If only it was anything juicy, it’s not. Sorry!

I sold BlogKits to Forge in the spring of 2006. Then I stayed on to help it launch in December of that same year, including an awesome piece I got on Techcrunch.

A few months later (one-year from purchase) they were all setup and the transition was complete, so my job was done.

I left it in their hands and moved on to new things as per our agreement. You should go check out the neat things they’re doing with it now. I really hope it turns into something special.

What’s next for you then Jim?

Well, for those who know me you’ll know that I don’t slow down. I’m working on all kinds of fun, and yes, actual business-type projects that most of which you have already seen, but some new ones that are coming out soon.

Most of all, I’m having a heckuva lot of fun.

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.
