Marcia;
Oh, I hope you find your sweet spot and don’t walk away from something you enjoy. I encourage you to examine the places you are making a difference because I’m sure they are there! By the way, I don’t have any interest in being the next big online name either. So you’re not alone. I just want to do great work with great people and, at the end of the day, cuddle up with my kids and husband! So sending you encouragement & hope that your path will become clear! All the best to you and thanks for posting!

Bob–I agree with you 100%. This year is full of positive energy and so many are tapped into it that it’s really exciting and…dare I say it a…FUN. And how great that you are giving your clients the extra support and level of engagement that really will make a huge difference (for you and them). Thanks for stopping by the blog!

Sonja,
Thanks for your post. And exclamation points are perfectly acceptable to express enthusiasm. So exclaim away! (threw that in for ya)

Susan,
Thanks for posting your thoughts. You’re right about the softening and shifting away from old style selling. I hadn’t actually put it together in my mind that way, but now that you point it out I see exactly what you mean. Regarding lifestyle. My point isn’t that Luxury has no place. My point it that the word Lifestyle, in my humble opinion, had been hijacked to mean luxury and left out those of us for whom lifestyle actually means something very different. I too like a little bit of luxury in my life. But it’s like sprinkles on my cake. Not the cake itself. (and of course, I absolutely recognize that there are specific markets and audiences for whom luxury is THE lifestyle of choice and that’s why my caveat in that point!)

Appreciate the share and the challenge on the Lifestyle point! I love this playing around with this stuff!

I think you’re absolutely right. I’ve been transitioning my services away from the traditional “web designer” and toward brand image development. Yes, web design is a major component, but I am adding the support and consulting to help my clients learn how to engage with their audience rather than try to market at them. And doing the same for myself. It’s interesting that so many entrepreneurs are coming to similar conclusions this year. I’m feeling a lot of positive energy for 2010.
