I was lucky in that my spouse actually led the way, tried something, and had great success. That in turned pushed me. I too got stuck in the 'parental approval' trap, but you know what, they will be even prouder of you if you take that step on the high rope, without a net :) You are not guaranteed success buy trying for something, but you ARE guaranteed to not go anywhere if you don’t try.

I'm excited about it too. I've got a couple of new projects in the pipeline in the next few weeks. One of them involves WordPress, and I'll be trying to rock the "premium" theme boat a little more. ;) <strong>Rob</strong> Thanks for the offer. So far, everything's been going well. There are definitely ways to make money using open source software. And, there's plenty of room for everybody at the table. LidiaAnain

It sounds very similar to what I did a couple of years ago, and I've not looked back. If you need any help with any of the monetizing stuff you are likely to be needing, feel free to send me an email - we're using your themes all over the place, so it would be nice to give you something back too. There is some money available for guys like us out there, which is encouraging... Hey Justin – best of luck with this.

Your themes are some of the best I have used even when compared to high priced "premium" themes. I congratulate you on following your dream. Your talent and heart will help you conquer this new phase of your life! It is exciting to know you will have more time to work on themes now! Can't wait to see what kind of jewels you create!

I'll take all the luck I can get. <strong>SinDe</strong> Thank you for all you've said. It means a lot to me. I'm hoping with the extra time, I can do a lot more exciting work with WordPress. Maybe even have enough time to write more tutorials for the average user or people new to WP, so that they can get the most out of their blogs without a lot of worry. <strong>WordSkill</strong> Thanks. I figured it was about time to go at it full time, especially since I've just left my old job and moved back to the States. I've got some exciting stuff lined up in the near future, so keep watch! <strong>Stu McLaren</strong> I'll definitely keep that tip in mind. Keeping an email list would probably help a lot in the future. It's good to hear from someone else that's taken that plunge. Feel free to share any other tips you have. <strong>beautymakupdivas</strong> I probably could bring in some extra money by putting ads on my blog, but it's just never felt right to me. It's just one of those things I don't like to do with my <em>personal</em> blog. Advertising revenue will play a part in some of the stuff I'll be doing though. <strong>Lady G~</strong> Thank you. I'll be sure to add that quote to my list. ;) <strong>Danno</strong> Thanks. It's something I've always wanted to do, and now I've managed to land myself in a position to give it go. <strong>Jaspal Singh</strong> Thank you. And, please do <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/justintadlock" title="Justin Tadlock's feed" rel="nofollow">subscribe</a>. ;) I'll be continually writing new articles on how to use WordPress, and I hope with the extra time, I'll be able to write even more.
