Amazing video! Who doesn’t love the honey badger? 🙂 Just goes to show that looks can be deceiving, even though it’s all cute and cuddly on the outside it’s fearless and relentless on the inside.

The honey badger means business. 🙂

Ok, the article was great and the whole reason I came in the first place, but now after watching that video, I’m laughing so hard I can’t even work! 🙂
I’m off to find someone to show it to LOL

Awesome!

I’m referencing your blog post related to house sitting as a sort of writer’s retreat for the SPAWN Market Update. SPAWN is Small Publishers, Artists and Writers network. http://www.spawn.org.

Got hooked on some of your other posts–clever!

Would like to be considered for an interview. Let me know if you’d like more info about me. For one thing, I’m the executive director of SPAWN. Been writing for publication since 1973. Am the author of 34 books–number 35 coming out in Feb. Most of my books now relate to writing, publishing and book promotion.

In reply to Gene Burnett. Gene, your point is well-taken. My main goal here is to encourage people to be more assertive in their marketing and to shake off the inevitable slings and arrows that come with being self-employed. It's easy for many people to get discouraged and sink into complacency.

Well you certainly do know how to make a point:). But, seriously, you give some excellent tips. I have recently started a WP blog on anxiety attacks and your advice should be of great help in my improving the quality of my content.

I love the video and the Honey Badger is badass….But I’ve found that some walls are for going through, but not all. Sometimes that wall is telling me, “Try another way.” It’s very fashionable right now to say, “Never give up.” I see it on facebook almost daily. But I don’t think it’s a good rule. Giving up on Russia might have won Hitler WWll. Sometimes surrender or even flat out heading for the hills is the smartest course of action. I suspect that even the Honey Badger would run from a full grown lion. So I would say, “Give it all you’ve got, but listen to the results you’re getting and be open to changing direction if things are consistently not working out in spite of your best efforts.” Some of the best things in my life have come from giving up.
