Independence Day?
Happy Independence Day to my wife and all other Americans. 
Of course, being British, I happen to believe that Americans would’ve been better off sticking with us. 
There’s an interesting point being raised by some marketers at the moment… equating personal independence with Independence Day. I guess it’s a natural comparison. Rosalind Gardner makes some excellent points at her blog, and I got an email from Jim Edwards yesterday saying pretty much the same thing.

“I feel MORE financially secure as an entrepeneur than I ever did with a full-time government job and a large pension waiting for me at retirement.
At this point, I would NEVER trade the freedom to call my own shots and create my future for ANY job, because NOTHING is more satisfying than being your own boss - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”

“To me, “Independence” means:
- You don’t punch a clock for someone else…
- Your time is your own and you spend it how you want…”
And my thoughts, which I left at Ros’ blog…
“Nothing beats the feeling of being your own boss. You have to *want* that so badly the desire for it overcomes all the other hurdles. If people want it badly enough, they’ll take action and achive their goals.”

Hi Neil,
To me Independence Day means the Freedom
to work whenever you want and not having to
worry about bills.
That’s what Internet Marketing’s done for me.
All The Best!

Independence day celebrates the freedom from the limits of others who have no interest in your interests.
