I googled for "sleep less", and the title "How to become an early riser" sounded nice

I was a member of the old Dexterity forums. I don't remember how I found *those*, but it was probably via Google when I was searching for information about game programming.

I searched the word "snurf" and it linked me to Pavlina's site. Talk about random... Guess it was meant to be as I feel like I've grown significantly in the few months I've read his blogs.

I found stevepavlina.com discussed on the SiteBuildIt! forums relative to the site's high traffic.

The answers on this thread are amazingly diverse and surprising to me.

After getting an "Out of the blue" impulse to google something along the lines of making money with blogging. I was at the tail end of watching "the secret" when this happened. I now know the impulse came from my subconsciousness rather than being a random occurence. The first Google item was one of Steve's blogs. I checked out the forrums from there. All up i spent 4 to 5 hours checking both blog & forrums on several topics. I really like it.

I searched for "Getting up early" on Google and found's Steve's site - and man I have been hooked ever since. I found one thing that I was searching for that I did not find in many self help books that I have read - practical self development.

I'm not exactly sure where I found the link to Steve's blog.

It was in the summer of 2005 so it might have been while I was joining bloglines and he was a featured feed or from livejournal where I am a member of several lifeskills communities.

However the connection was made, I am glad of it! Reading Steve and Erin's blogs has given me some great ideas to make changes in my sphere.

I followed a link from this amazing woman: - Christine Kane - Blog
Spent three hours that night reading Steve's articles.
Two nights later, I was reading Erin's blog in amazement for six hours minimum.

Through a carnival somewhere which started with a journey from Learn Time Management and Goal Setting Free - Resources for Personal & Career Success which I googled with time management lists. Btw the free course on time management offered there is great. I am also finding here to be good too on a much deeper level.

Hi!
It is interesting to see how everyone found their way to this site. I found it probably over a year ago as I was looking for information about lucid dreaming and sleep issues. I signed up for Steve's newletter but never got it. Out of the blue a couple of days ago I got an automated message asking me to confirm that I had signed up for the newsletter. The name looked vaguely familiar, so I went to the website and remembered that I had signed up a year ago. Syncronistic, I think, as I ended up finding the post about Lightworker's syndrome and it really resonated with me. I am one of those lightworkers who is terrified of actually getting out there and making a difference. Great stuff here.
Namaste,
Suzanne

I found it through Google, during a search on "fear of success". I've always been a very strong writer, and I've always loved to run off at the mouth (hee!), so blogging seems like a really good fit.

I think it was the polyphasic sleep post.

I was reading the opinion blog from my local paper (www.theage.com.au), an economics/business columnist had a link to one of Steve's personal productivity blogs. Can't say i remember which - I was blown away with all the PD stuff there and read it for about 6 hours that day! Only about a month or so ago. Best site I've stumbled upon in years!

Joy to you
Hazel

Through Google I believe ... out of chance.

Luck I guess, I cant remember but I've not looked back since I got here, I think I may have been searching goal setting at the time (after reading 7 habits for teenagers), this site just popped up and boom. A new follower for the pavlinoids.

The Cause-Effect vs. Intention Manifestation article was featured in an email I received in August. I've since devoured every article and podcast on the site because I felt an affinity with the author - here's a guy like me, writing from the perspective of experiential process (as opposed to a self-help guru speaking from an authoritative perspective).
I may not agree with everything, but I love the stimulation of the ideas that lead to my own practical usage (not to mention great results!)

What about you?
One of my friends was studying how to monetize his site and saw the site. He knew I was interested in personal development and mentioned it to me.
