Working on your tan!

One of my favorite sayings is 'youth is wasted on the young'. I think Shakespeare said it first but I heard it a lot from my Mom. Now that I am older, I can see what she meant. Life is funny like that.
During my teens and early twenties, back in the non-electronic days of the sixties, we were focused on good looks. We spent bookoo dollars on make up and hair and spent hours 'working' on our tan. We weren't into the physical part of looking good and fit. We focused on staying relaxed, looking tan and wealthy. We of the Pepsi Generation were all about how you look not how you feel.
Anyway, I can now see the meaning of the saying 'youth is wasted on the young'. All the time and 'energy' I spent 'working' on my tan would have been better used for something lucrative or productive. My youth did not comprehend that concept and quite frankly, it was not in my level of need. However, like most every thing in life, it can be turned into a good learning experience.
As an adult, working at home and establishing my place on the net as an entrepreneur takes a lot of time. I work 40 hours a week at my day job (no comments from the peanut gallery about not quitting my day job, smile). Those 40 hours are nothing compared to the time and energy spent working for myself. The net is a vast array of information with numerous highways pointing in various directions. In an effort to find out where you are going without a map, you can spend hours going in all different directions; and often we do.
That is where your ezine publishers come in handy. Most of your publishers are very diligent and generously provide solid information to assist you in your search for information. And we learn from you too! When subbies take the time to establish a connection with the publisher, we all share what we know and grow together. Working on your tan or you online biz can be time consuming but it can be FUN when you do it with friends.
