My intention when launching the site was to write free Self Improvement articles, similar to Steve Pavlina, to help people out.

I never went into it looking to make big money because I already have a job and I don't "need" to make money from blogging. However, lately I've been doing a lot of research online and realizing that I have been growing dissatisfied with the amount of traffic coming to my site. Meaning, it is pretty disheartening when you spend 4 hours writing an article only to later find out nobody read it, or 2 people read it.
Is it possible for you to focus 100% on your PD Blog ?SP gave a hint on this .

I figure something is wrong if a restauranteur is writing/speaking about PD instead of running his/her restaurants.

What better way to achieve financial independence than in a career devoted to helping people improve their lives? I think we're better off helping each other improve our self-esteem, knowledge, and wisdom vs. satiating our taste buds.
