I am so glad to be living at this time in history. A decade ago, I might have had to get a real job. Even just two or three years ago- I’m pretty sure this business wouldn’t exist.

• WordPress
  • A blogging platform that gives me a voice
  • A CMS that turns me into a developer
  • Plugins that do everything I can imagine, so I never have to pay a programmer
  • The Atahualpa Theme, which allows me to be a web designer
• Google:
• Google Reader, which keeps me informed and connected
• Google Docs, which speeds up my workflow
• G-Mail, which is SO much better than Outlook
• Google Calendar, which actually keeps me on schedule
• Google Alerts, which is like my own personal spy
• Google Chrome, which is just really fast and convenient
• Print on Demand:
  • CreateSpace, which turns me into a publisher
  • Got Print, which turns me into a low-cost, high-quality print shop

I’m probably forgetting half the stuff I use. I’m amazed by all of this. One of the greatest things I’ve discovered is that if I need something to happen, somebody, somewhere has already figured out how to do it, and a lot of the time, they’re providing it for free. Ridiculous.

This is an amazing time of opportunity we live in.

Don’t waste it.
