And thank you for the kind words. Right — share what you know and people will know where to find you when they’re ready, makes “selling” so much easier.

Along the same lines as go to gal. :) Yes, we're only 1 person each! And until they perfect cloning I've got limits. Actually, even after that... I'm not sure the world needs two of me.

Love this: "There’s more than enough business to go around, and when you take your attention off of that and focus on creating great content and doing great work — the rest takes care of itself." Exactly! You can get on your soapbox here anytime, Traci!

I'm going to have to head over to your blog. I've traveled once out of the US (to Central America) and would love to travel more, and for longer periods, someday.

If I hear my fave singer on the radio singing their new song - it doesn't stop me from going out and buying the cd. I'll go and listen to them at a concert singing all the song from the cd 'live' as well. If we're too scared of putting our stuff out there in case it gets copied, or no-one will work with us, we'd never do anything. My new blog is for mumpreneurs and I'm profiling a different mumpreneur each week. I've been told that this is a crazy idea and will only send work to the featured mums and take away from my site. I think these people are being a tad paranoid and can't see the bigger picture. I've also been contacted by peeps who have been around the internet for a while and know what they are doing with their business and they think what I'm doing is a stroke of genius. There is enough work out there for us all - let's share the love. Heather x This is wonderful!

"It isn't copying, it is a compliment to you that your work has inspired them". "they can't 'steal' your idea, you are the one who can make the best version of your idea because it came from you and will have total authenticity about it". "working on something with lots of people makes an outcome very different to what any one of us can do on our own". "think of your ipod, if the guy who invented the tv hadn't shared his idea you would still be watching black and white shows with no record, rewind or fast forward function" etc etc it is sooooo nice to hear you spreading this much needed philosophy out there on the 'interweb' and the fact that you are you and only you can do what you do shines through in the quality of the information you provide to your subscribers and clients. more power to you, i love your work thank you x I work with kids and make this distinction all the time with them. “It isn’t copying, it is a compliment to you that your work has inspired them”. “they can’t ‘steal’ your idea, you are the one who can make the best version of your idea because it came from you and will have total authenticity about it”. “working on something with lots of people makes an outcome very different to what any one of us can do on our own”. “think of your ipod, if the guy who invented the tv hadn’t shared his idea you would still be watching black and white shows with no record, rewind or fast forward function”
