Default Hi! Fan of Steve from Asia

Hi everyone! I'm Marie, 23, from the Philippines.
I've long been a fan of Steve's blog. I first heard about Steve from my boyfriend JP just when we started dating in February 2006. I'd go over some of his articles especially 10 reasons why you shouldn't get a job. Reading and reflecting on that and other entrepreneurship articles both by Steve and other writers gave me the strength to give it a go.
I worked for about 10 months as an employee, saved up, and started Pigmata Media. We take on client work for web development and SEO to sustain also our proprietary web app projects. I handle the business and marketing, so it's not so far off from my business degree and CPA license.
I listen to Steve's podcasts before bedtime -- when I'm not learning Mandarin with my Chinesepod lessons.
I share learnings on money management and personal finance and tech-preneurship in the Philippines.

Hey sxyshandy, thanks for joining! Congratulations on running your own business! And nice work getting your CPA license too -- must be nice to do your own business taxes.

Hi Dan! Hi all!
Yes, thanks. I have 2 web designer/developer partners who take on the actual dev work. I do the admin/hr/finance/marketing/sem...
I can't help but feel, um, "in over my head" (?) sometimes. Like I'm in IT/new media marketing but my background is finance. I'm used to being the leader too, having been president of a national student organization, so now sharing decision-making really takes some getting-used to.

When I saw the headline, I thought you liked guitar rock:


It took me a moment to realize that you are from the continent Asia, and you like Steve the personal developer... not that you love the playing of Steve Howe in the band Asia.

Oops!

Lol @ Steve from Asia.

Now that would be a random intro.


I like Issac from Modest Mouse.
And also turtles.

I hadn't seen the zombie turtle kid before. Since I lived in Portland a while, that clip brought back some memories. (Memories of the waterfront park festivals, not memories of zombies!)
