I'm glad to know Chris and not just mojodenbow. I will continue to follow, and be your friend, no matter what you want to call yourself. One of these days, I still hope to stop for a visit on the way to visit my family.

That's great that you're being yourself, but I count myself fortunate that I met Chris Denbow and know him as that, no matter what his online handle is.

Very Bold move Chris as you really have built a very successful brand around the 'mojo' name.

Look forward to seeing the new brand as it develops :)

If you're collaborating projects on Google Wave that helps me improve my photography workflow then let me give back. Wave invite is coming soon, Michael. Thanks!

Hey there Jason! You have a Wave invite coming your way soon. If I had to guess, and I do, it would be an Adobe Air client that is released first. I'm currently using a Firefox app that notifies me how many Waves I have. It sits right next to my Google Voice notifier too. =) Let me know when you are riding the Wave!

I could so use wave. I got a lot of projects I am collaborating with others on, many of whom are on Wave. I think it would be an awesome platform to give a go, but Google still has not graced me with an invite.

Since I have no wave account, I don't know for sure. I feel based on what I've seen it is the next "wave" in electronic communications. I support 100's of email users everyday and would use Wave to learn just another facet of what is coming. Who do you think will put out the first "Wave" desktop application. I hear there is a couple coming down the pipe.

Re: Freelance Or Entrepreneur?

This sounds kind of corny but I schedule everything. I place time on my calendar for just about everything I do in the week. Meeting, Family, Doctor Appt, Client Meeting, whatever the case maybe I have it all tied into one calendar that I (and my wife) can see.

This allows me to no exactly what I have time for and what I do not have time for. It also keeps me at places I want to be (i.e. bed time every night for my daughter).

Now obviously you have to make sacrifice at times and events are missed or meetings are rescheduled but it keeps everything balanced.

i think we all struggle with the same problems, it is how we see what is going on in our lives. You have to use those things that distract you and turn that into positive energy. We are all restless, I should be asleep right now and here I am. Everyday we start over with new choices, we just have to make them count.

I'm still on the fence because I have a lot to learn. I'm also running out of excuses to go it alone. I need to work on selling myself before I can sell my services. As an entrepreneur, I'd be interested in how you carve out time from work, family, etc and then your own business.

Thanks, Jeff!

I cannot think of anyone else more qualified with personal computer support for individuals. I like the idea of tackling senior citizen's needs, too. I'm sure you will do very well for yourself. Thanks, Elena...

Chris - I have never been a freelancer mainly as I am not really good at one thing. So I can only speak from the entrepreneur side of things.

What I noticed in starting to put things together was that there were alot of people who would love to freelance and just needed that one person to guide them as a entrepreneur. This allowed me to take on more business (instead of just me doing it all) which in turn creates growth.

If you are wanting to just be you and handle just as much load as you are willing to take on - then I would advise the free lance course. But if you want to build upon your hard work and expand then going the route of entrepreneur is the best way IMHO.

As an entrepreneur, you'd run your own photo business, right? Being your own business, you can do the kind of photography you want to do and pick the customers you want rather than picking up freelance work (which I would think you could still do...). I'm working on getting my own business going, and I've always had in my mind that I would have a computer fixit biz, but as I've done a few calls for training (esp. older people) and setting up new computers (taking files/settings from the old one and moving those over), I've determined that I like enjoy that type of work more than the repair work. So in future advertising, I am going to slant in that direction to hopefully pick up more of that type of client. I've also been thinking about contacting some retirement homes (with active seniors) to see about doing some sort of classes there that may lead to additional business. For some reason I have a lot of patience when teaching the older people so I am running with it!
Best of luck with your decision - there are so many considerations!

I can see where that would be useful, Sarah. What happens after that initial rush of focused productivity wears off? The distractions are numerous when we work from home with children!

Thanks for sharing...

Working from a home office 1000 miles from the rest of my colleagues does contribute to my sometimes losing my focus. I get bored, restless, aimless...
As an extreme extrovert I feed off the energy of interacting with people, and working from home doesn't really provide that. Last week I was fortunate enough to cram a year's worth of face-to-face interactions with my colleagues, customers and industry friends into a short week at our annual convention in Orlando. I have found that my MOST focused, productive time is not before, not during the week, but on the plane ride home. THAT is when I go over the week's events and become the MOST creative, and if I don't start scribbling it down on paper I will lose it before the plane hits the runway. Then I transcribe my ideas, my action plan, and send it off to my colleagues.

Also? Prayer and worship, especially when I'm home alone, really can help me focus. So those are the things that work for me.

Hey Thanks for the kind words regarding my artwork. It's great to get some feedback-especially of the positive variety.
Cheers!

I really like the two blues in black-n-white. They are both so rich in detail.

I appreciate your comment but I'm sticking with the original spelling. Here's why: we are using the "Disqus" commenting system and that was my original context in the post. I can spell quite well, thank you. Case in point: you misspelled "discuss" yourself. I'll just ignore the "moron" comment.

Discus, not disqus. Learn to spell, you moron.

What a great day...sounds as if a good time was had by all!

Daphne's creation is most definitely a bird...I recognized it as a bird with out having to ask! (But thanks for asking...)

Good job, Daphne.
