Comment on How do you measure success? Part 2 by katemats

Thanks for the thoughtful post (and Rent really is an awesome musical worth seeing if you get the chance – and it has a great soundtrack).
I like your definition, and I definitely see some truth in it. Although, to me, there is also something about success that comes from satisfaction and happiness that is completely independent of anyone else in the world. For example, a beautiful flower can bring a smile to my face, or the sound of rain on the roof during a winter storm, or even cotton candy at a sporting event or carnival – it is the simple pleasures that make life worth living. And having the time and being able to be present to enough all of it.

So in the end, how do you measure success and happiness? For me it is a combination or freedom and choice. To impact people, and to do all of the other the things I want to do :)

I use WordPress’s platform with HostGator for my web hosting. I wrote a post on how I feel about HostGator, which can be seen at http://guidemybiz.com/wordpress-blog-hostgator-web-hosting-and-domain-name/

Comment on Traffic Acquisition for engineers and non-marketers by Matt Dyor

Great post, Brian. The only nit I have is the reference to the PayPal and eBay deal. According to the PayPal Wars, this was not a deal as much a strategic game of cat-and-mouse between two super-competitive companies. That book is a great read.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello, Brian,
I really like your site–nice and lean in the employment posting world.
However, I was unable to receive my activation code. And, the help@eggsprout.com bounced.
Can you activate me?
Thanks!

One of my all-time FAVORITE videos courtesy of Guy Kawasaki… very inspirational for anyone seeking to understand the basics of the “start-up”.
