I'm too lazy to go find the article right now, but I could have sworn that I heard somewhere that he did make a goal (set an intention) to make $3,000/month from the blog at some point and then he hit that number and beyond.

So if that's the case, then it would further demonstrate the fact that he used both WORLDWorker energy and SELFWorker energy to make things tick.

Perhaps he first started with WORLDWorker energy, wrote 100 articles, got some confidence and good feedback and felt good about it, and then realized that by balancing it out with SELFWorker energy he could make a career out of this instead of his software business so he did what any SELFWorker would do and installed Adsense, ads etc. and monetized his site.

*Shrug*, I am not sure, but I think StevePavlina.com is a result of a balanced effort of WORLD/SELFWorking. I could be wrong. If not balanced, there's at least both energies in it from what I can see.

You might say that these forums were more a WORLDWorker energy....well, up until James Arthur Ray's face appeared in the top left hand corner and this "Want a Fun Business" Google ad on the left
