Thanks MrRess for your post which helped me down from my over inflated view of self , and realize that almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day.

I want to, using the internet, make a difference to this!

I have been considering my forum post and the great advice from everyone else over the weekend (no internet, tv, radio. just the beach, surf, kids and my wife), and reevaluated my own focus.

My focus for the next 2 months:
finish the challenge with a great site, which demonstrates that I can achieve traffic, top rankings and generate some new revenue (my aim: $25) in a new niche that I am passionate about. Using Kiva, I will invest all that I make with my 30dc project and empower 1 entrepreneur to lift themselves out of poverty.

Following the 30dc I will start to build my online business which will enable me to do what I love. I dont know what this will look like right now, but I am confident that the 30dc will give me the experience & tools to make it happen.

Thanks
