blah blah blah. this is barely a step up from the meta-blogging about blogging about blogging that gets posted every day. although very good writers, I'm getting sort of sick of the general platitudes coupled with anecdotes that I read from guys like pavlina, godin, et al.

Dollars talking to each other... the universe talking to us (in great detail, no less)... psychics charging $395/hr. over the phone...

It's pretty hard to take anything seriously when it's presented as such fluff and reads like it's written for a five-year-old. It leaves me feeling like I'm in a bad dream stuck between my first grade teacher and Rhonda Byrne.

One-line summary: If people offer you money for doing something you love, and you take it, you can earn money; if you don't take it, you won't earn money; therefore: take the money.

I would also add that one of the worst aspects of this post is that it encourages people to bug/annoy other people to pay you for things in awkward contexts.

Does it involve standing on a street corner?

'Cause if it doesn't, I'm not interested.

Steve Pavlina started out as a pretty smart, credible sort of guy, but now he's always posting this kind of blather.

I didn't really how new-agey Steve was back when I used to read his stuff more often, but lately it all seems kind of hokey. Hopefully his ad revenue will go down a little bit and force him to come back to the real world.
