A sponsor helped me to print the magazines and the distribution was for free. One reader told me once that if I ask money for the magazine I would have more chances to receive more comments from the readers because they will read it more carefully if they paid for it. Nowadays I keep wondering if there is anything for free. :-) I used to produce and distribute magazines with sf content while I was student ( 10 years ago).

I guess all of us had those kind of experiences during childhood. Parents sometimes are not aware that one word or one phrase can change their child's life forever...and sometimes not in a good way. Then they suffer all their lives and sometimes without even knowing what's the source of their insecurity. I know what you mean. I guess all of us had those kind of experiences during childhood.

I was ALWAYS told to STOP "pipe dreaming." I remember putting on plays for my mother and telling her I wanted to be an actress. I was so excited about presenting her with something I'd written and then acting it out for her. The one thing that stands out the most for me was the day that she said..."Jane Ellen, you have no talent. I don't have time to be bothered with nonsense." I felt crushed. From that day forward, at about 10, my life proceeded in a down hill spiral. I never felt good about me after that. Those words haunted me for years. I can truly say they subconsciously lead me to make a mess of mistakes in my life. I think now, the "Serinity Prayer" saves me from myself. I don't have the power to change others. I can only change myself and God gives me that wisdom each and every day. I too, truly believe that enviroment plays a huge roll in what we become.

It doesn't really matter what you're selling.. there are buyers for almost anything. And when those buyers are (pleasantly) surprised by your product and/or services, they'll spread the news. The so called 'words-of-mouth advertising' is the cheapest and with the best results. It's not free, since you invested in your product and in treating your customers in a diffent and surprising way, but it brings you the real profit: it makes you famous and it gets you new customers.

Waiting eternally for the "right moment" in order to start your own business is nothing but a huge loss of time and opportunities. Of course you'll have better ideas in the future, of course you still need to learn a lot of new things, of course you need that and that.. But, at a moment, not too early and not too late, you just have to stop and say "this is the right moment" (it's exaclt like deciding to have a baby - it's never the right moment:) ), otherwise you might just not have the time to enjoy the results of your hard-work. “Default things we do” become almost anything we do on a regular basis without having the feeling (at least once in a while) that we evolve, by learning something new or doing something new, and having a satisfaction feeling.

But, self-education and self-motivation (after understanding & accepting yourself) can "heal" anything: from lack of self-trust (due to some mistakes of the parents) to setting the right mindset in order to get to excel. It's the will that differentiates us, and the ability of learning from failures keeping always in mind that the glass is half full.

And the more one lives like this, the more (s)he loses the feeling that (s)he's in control of her/his own life. Anyway, more or less, it's all about being a good negotiator: 1st with yourself (when setting the goals, and all the way till their achievement) and then with the others that will help you achieve them.
