It is my intention for Live Free and Blog to be more than another Make Money Online blog. Sure, I’m certainly trying to document my triumphant rise to the ranks of the Internet Mogul. However, I think it’s also important for this journey to be reasonably transparent - and personal.

And that means talking about some of the less than triumphant moments. Like last Friday. After posting on Thursday evening (my time) about how it was so important to get things done on my Fridays, it was ironic that the day turned out to be a bust.

I needed to get up early for a Doctors appointment. I attended that, and ran a couple of other chores. By the time I got back home it was close to 11am. I checked my email, cleaned out my feed reader and got started.

Then about 1pm, I crashed.

No idea what happened. All of a sudden a wave of tiredness swept over me and that was it. I could barely keep my eyes open, and this was immediately after a cup of coffee. I decided to take a quick nap, and was out for the rest of the afternoon. In fact I was out for the rest of the weekend.

By the time Sunday evening rolled around, I was quite annoyed. I’d done a couple of the things I had planned. I had written some blog posts and some research of PPC affiliate marketing, but I felt like the whole weekend was wasted.

Stuff Happens

This is the way life goes sometimes. Start a vacation and come down with the flu. Go out on a date and spill the tomato pasta down the front of the white shirt. Run late and realize the car needs gas.

Often it’s when you want to start something new - a new venture or perhaps a new relationship - it seems there are a whole bunch of obstacles in front of you. What’s strange is that you never noticed them before.

Am I alone here?
