My name is Ana Hoffman, and if I learned anything after many years of building an online empire, it’s this: the online business industry is a scary place. A place where many a mighty business owner has fallen.

Before writing this post, I was unhappy. A lot had happened in the hour since I woke up in the morning!
Then I said to myself, “If you’re going to write about always being happy, why not try out what you’re telling others to do?”
So I did. It worked. I felt happy.

Sometimes, no matter how carefully you plan and prepare to execute a client engagement, things just go wrong. Big things, small things, crazy things, ridiculous things. Things just go wrong.
I know because ALL of the following have happened to me at some point over the last four years:
Tim sits at his desk. He fidgets. He knows he has to get some work done, but he can’t. He is going to be in big trouble if he doesn’t.

Entrepreneurs are often curious, passionate workaholics. Yes, that’s a generalization – but often true.
We want to learn more about things – our business, our world, our customers, our industry, our marketplace, our technology and other stuff.
