			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From blog tips (Darren Rowse) to the online money maker (John Chow) to the social media master (Dean Hunt), accomplished people tell <em>Business Leaps</em> about the best advice they&#8217;ve ever received.</p>
<h2>Darren Rowse<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-144" title="rowse" src="http://businessleaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/rowse.jpg" alt="rowse" width="125" height="125" /></h2>
<p><strong>Co-founder of b5media, <a href="http://www.problogger.net/">Problogger.net</a> and author of <em><a href="http://probloggerbook.com/">ProBlogger the Book</a></em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Never Give Up&#8221; &#8211; in my industry one of the biggest reasons blogs fail is that blogge[r]s don&#8217;t see instantaneous results and give up before they even come close to reaching their potential. I&#8217;d suspect that this rings true for many businesses. One of the keys to building a successful business is consistent effort over the long haul.</p>
<h2>John Chow</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-146" title="chow" src="http://businessleaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/chow.jpg" alt="chow" width="125" height="125" /><strong>Writes for <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/">John Chow dot Com</a></strong></p>
<p>The best business advice I ever got came from the late founder and CEO of Canadian Forest Products.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you can make something for a little less than your competition, and sell it for a little more, then you&#8217;re doing OK.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Dean Hunt</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-151" title="hunt" src="http://businessleaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/hunt.jpg" alt="hunt" width="125" height="125" /><strong>Social Media Master, <a href="http://deanhunt.com/">deanhunt.com</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you&#8217;re crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you&#8217;re lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you&#8217;re greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn&#8217;t understand.&#8221;</p>
<h2>Garry Conn</h2>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-171" title="garryconn" src="http://businessleaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/garryconn.jpg" alt="garryconn" width="125" height="125" />Successful blogger at <a href="http://www.garryconn.com/">garryconn.com</a></strong></p>
<p>The best advice I got was when my father insisted that I get into computers at an early age. He had said with the birth of the Internet would come an abundance of money that would be almost free for the picking as if it were growing on trees.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Yan Susanto</h2>
<p><strong>freelance consultant and full-time blogger at <a href="http://thoushallblog.com/">thoushallblog.com</a></strong><img src="http://businessleaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/susanto.jpg" alt="susanto" title="susanto" width="125" height="125" class="alignright size-full wp-image-189" /></p>
<p>The best advice I had is, &#8220;Choose to blog about something that you can see yourself still blogging about in 3-4 years &#8211; it takes that long to build a successful blog.&#8221;</p>
<p>It takes lots of dedication, patience and most importantly, passion to run a successful blog. Without the passion, how could anyone be able to survive in 3-4 years? It&#8217;s no secret then that the blogosphere is littered with dead blogs. I hope I could look back in 4 years time and reflect on that one advise I was given early in my blogging career.</p>
<h2>Donny Gamble</h2>
<p><img src="http://businessleaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/gamble.jpg" alt="gamble" title="gamble" width="125" height="125" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-199" /><strong>The Man who runs <a href="http://linkersblog.com/">Linkersblog</a></strong></p>
<p>I would say that the best advice I have ever received was to never give up on anything that you start.  My dad always taught me at a young age that if you quit something that you have started, then you did what people wanted you to do and that is quit.  I think society is designed for people to fail at things and not accomplish the things that they want to accomplish.  The economy is set up where only a few people excel while the other people struggle to succeed.</p>
<h2>Thomas Sinfield</h2>
<p><img src="http://businessleaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/sinfield.jpg" alt="sinfield" title="sinfield" width="125" height="125" class="alignright size-full wp-image-201" /><strong>Author of the <a href="http://www.standoutblogger.com/">Stand Out Blogger</a>, standoutblogger.com</strong></p>
<p>I would have to say that the best advice I have ever received is:&#8221;To follow your passions&#8221;</p>
<p>I have found that if you chose a business venture in an area that you are not passionate about and cannot find anything in the business that makes you passionate &#8211; you will lose interest and give up very early on in the venture.</p>
<h2>Gyutae Park</h2>
<p><img src="http://businessleaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/gyutae.jpg" alt="gyutae" title="gyutae" width="125" height="125" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-214" /><strong>Internet Entrepreneur and Professional SEO at <a href="http://www.winningtheweb.com/">Winning the Web</a></strong></p>
<p> The best advice that I received was that &#8220;action brings clarity&#8221;.  A lot of times people procrastinate and wait until they&#8217;re smart enough or are prepared enough to take action (e.g. starting their own business).  Unfortunately, they never get started with that mentality.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to take the plunge even if you don&#8217;t know anything.  Experience is usually the best teacher and taking action will open up new doors of opportunity.</p>
<h2>Jim Karter</h2>
<p><strong>blogs at <a href="http://jimkarter.com">jimkarter.com</a></strong></p>
<p>My best advice is what I got from my father. He used to say &#8220;Son, always remember to keep your one leg firm on the ground while you try to reach for the stars.&#8221; Means, whatever you try to do in your life, always keep your fundamentals strong.</p>
<h2>Jonathan Volk</h2>
<p><strong>Super Affiliate and blogger at <a href="http://www.jonathanvolk.com/">jonathanvolk.com</a></strong></p>
<p>The best advice I ever got was to ask <a href="http://www.jonathanvolk.com/life/penetrate.html">penetrating questions</a>.</p>
<h2>Syed Balkhi</h2>
<p><strong>Successful blogger at <a href="http://www.balkhis.com/">balkhis.com</a></strong></p>
<p>The best advice I have ever got was: You have to earn their trust, before you can make a successful sale.</p>
<h2>Caroline Middlebrook</h2>
<p><strong>Successful blogger at <a href="http://www.caroline-middlebrook.com/blog/">caroline-middlebrook.com/blog/</a></strong></p>
<p>Never give up!</p>
<h2>Glen Allsopp</h2>
<p><strong>Successful blogger at <del datetime="2009-01-13T20:24:52+00:00"><a href="http://www.viperchill.com/">Viper Chill</a></del> <a href="http://www.pluginid.com/">Plugin ID</a></strong></p>
<p>The best advice I&#8217;ve ever received and try to pass on as often as possible is that &#8220;you are enough&#8221;. You are enough to become a millionaire, you are enough to have an attractive partner, you are enough to fulfill your dreams. You don&#8217;t need to keep adding things to yourself, you need to take away the things that hold you back such as doubt, fear and limiting beliefs. You are enough to do [insert anything here].</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blogging is a relatively new term that has just begun to make its rounds through the Internet world. You may have asked yourself in the past “what is blogging and why is everyone talking about it?”</p>
<p>And the answer is relatively simple. Blogging is nothing more than a website that is updated on a regular basis with the newest entries being displayed at the top. A blog is pretty much an online journal where anybody can go and type their thoughts for the rest of the Internet world to read.</p>

<p>These free blogging sites can be found through a simple Internet search. Of course, if you want to get more serious about your blog you can register your own domain name and compile your blog their. Another tip to keep in mind is that if you do not want to write about your personal life, blogging for business may still be right for you.</p>
<p>There are thousands of businesses that also run blogs as a way for their customers, and prospective customers, to stay informed. Blogging for business has taken off in the small business sector over the past year, and it is surely going to reach a wider audience as word gets around.</p>

<p>When you sign up for an account, Google will place targeted ads on your blog that will earn you money every time somebody visits your site and clicks on them. So, if you have a lot of traffic on your blog you will definitely be able to make some extra money.</p>
<p>There are plenty of blogging tips that are available by searching the Internet. It is important to read these blogging tips so that you know exactly what you are doing, and where to start.</p>
<p>Making money with a blog is also very possible if you can garner enough traffic to your site. Even though blogging is still relatively unknown to a lot of the world, it is sure to pick up more steam over the next couple of years and become even more popular.</p>
