Thanks for all the emails and for checking up on me over the past few months! I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve <em>ever <\/em>gone this long without a blog update!<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve had a LOT happen over the past two months and in this little update I&#8217;m not quite ready to go into all that ;). I&#8217;ve done a good bit of traveling since I last posted, as I&#8217;m sure you guys could guess. I&#8217;ve spent the past few weeks with my family as they&#8217;re in the process of getting things packed up and ready to move. Daniel, my 9 month old little brother, is doing awesome! He&#8217;s a smiling, laughing, crawling, happy little bundle of joy.. He&#8217;s the best ;).<\/p>\n<p>Alright, so without going into <em>everything <\/em>there are some things I can tell you guys. In the past two months I have done next to <em>nothing <\/em>in niche marketing. All of my business ventures have been on hold. Sometimes you&#8217;ve just gotta do what you&#8217;ve gotta do. I&#8217;ve finished up the family project I initially left so suddenly for. I plan to stay with my family over the next few weeks, helping out where I can, as I decide where I&#8217;m heading off to next.<\/p>\n<p>What about niche marketing?<\/p>\n<p>Well, time will tell ;). I&#8217;ve got some new niche marketing projects up my sleeves and a new way of thinking about this whole &#8220;internet business&#8221; thing. All to often we niche marketers forget the &#8220;business&#8221; part of it : ). I&#8217;ll be sharing my thoughts with you guys and updates when the time is right.<\/p>\n<p>Meantime, I invite you guys to check out the blog of my awesome friend <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mattgeri.com\">Matt Geri<\/a>. He&#8217;s been going through a lot in his life lately as well. Until I&#8217;m &#8220;back in the game&#8221; and even when I am, he&#8217;s got solid stuff and you can learn a lot from him. Keep it up Matt!<\/p>\n<p>Also, keep an eye on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketingsyndrome.com\/mastermind\">niche marketing forum<\/a> over at marketingsyndrome.com. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketingsyndrome.com\">Bo Bang<\/a>, another awesome friend of mine, frequents there and he&#8217;s without a doubt one of the best &#8220;niche marketers&#8221; I know. The forum is an awesome resource and so is Bo&#8217;s blog : ).<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s just about that. Thank you all once again for your support. I&#8217;ve been really blessed these past few weeks and the kind words and support you&#8217;ve all shared with me has been a big part of that blessing.<\/p>\n<p>Keep up the good work and I do look forward to hearing from you all!<\/p>\n<p>Take care and God bless!
