Travel is definitely a part of that for me. I'm not quite sure how to package it, though. I love my B.I.K.E. work, but it needs some tweaking. Working on figuring all that out. Thank you for your very kind words.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505661913107994459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-55146494382707014762011-06-14T20:34:11.014-07:002011-06-14T20:34:11.014-07:00Hi Jackie,

I think you have a gift for writing about travel, the outdoors, and adventure in ways that others can't. (And I'm sure there's people po'd about that!) In thinking about your business model, I hope you'll continue taking us on travel adventures!FreeBZonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06420887546930157203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-24962652555904064272011-06-13T11:13:59.774-07:002011-06-13T11:13:59.774-07:00I know I piss off writers, speakers, copy writers,...I know I piss off writers, speakers, copy writers, etc., when I correct/edit their work. I piss off business owners when I tell them they can't continue breaking/skirting labor laws. That's all I can come up with now, but I'm MOST CERTAIN there are others out there I irritate by merely drawing breath.Diane Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614180139938935425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-54413669686987350312011-06-13T09:58:08.125-07:002011-06-13T09:58:08.125-07:00Anjuli, I remember one of the first times I gave m...Anjuli, I remember one of the first times I gave my BIKE presentation (you'll have to read early in this blog to find that story). At a significant moment in the story, a small group of women laughed made an odd noise, almost a cackle. I think my story made them uncomfortable. I gathered from that they could be my perfect audience. But how to reach them? That was my question. How to get them to know they are my perfect audience, or would they eventually figure it out. I can't wait to hear what David has to say later in the week.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505661913107994459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-75151080721847597332011-06-13T08:57:38.807-07:002011-06-13T08:57:38.807-07:00Actually I've always been aware that I must ma...Actually I've always been aware that I must make alot of people 'grrrr' angry at me- or whatever- but my husband has a saying, "You can't stop a dog from barking" :) and I've always kept that in mind and figured (as your speaker said) if you have something you are focusing on- there will be those who do NOT like you or like what you are doing or saying- that is fine.Anjulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540340538869180615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-55744692694542356522011-06-13T08:21:00.982-07:002011-06-13T08:21:00.982-07:00Yeah, he doesn't mean just go around making pe...Yeah, he doesn't mean just go around making people mad just for grins. I'm interviewing him later this week to gain more insight on this.

It's about having convictions and knowing what you're here to do.

If anything, I go overboard to make people happy. But I've found it leaves me drained and some people are NEVER happy.<br /><br />But it's a delicate balance. I don't want to piss off the wrong people by not giving this VERY careful thought.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this up. I have some soul/business searching to do this week.Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.com
