For instance, Chesterville is actually a seven minute drive past cows, horses, trucks, corn fields and Dunbar's famous tulip lady. In theory, we could walk it in a brisk three hours, but we have not tested that theory yet.

Another complication is that Chesterville does not technically exist. The municipality is actually called North Dundas Township, and Chesterville is just one of three towns located in that municipality.

Then there is small matter of our house not even being located in same municipality as Chesterville. Our land is in fact located in Williamsburg, another town that technically does not exist and can also be reached by a brisk three-hour walk - past vacationing truck driver. Williamsburg is actually part of municipality of South Dundas Township. The South Dundas municipal staff happily confirm this fact every four months by sending a friendly property tax missive.

Trying to explain this to somebody in London or Brisbane can be quite confusing. So I just tell them I am located in very middle of nowhere, with a 28k Internet connection (thank God for satellites) and sweet aroma of crop fertilizer drifting in through window.

Lately, however, my conscience has been getting better of me. Am I really being honest to say I live in middle of nowhere? We are midway between two hamlets, midway between two non-existent towns and our property clearly straddles two different municipalities. Would it not be more accurate to say we are on edge of everywhere? And if we are on edge of everywhere, can we at same time be in middle of nowhere? Or are we on edge of nowhere? I should have paid more attention in high school when we were studying relative geography.

Of course, all this is academic, since geography is irrelevant when working on Internet. And when a client occasionally calls, they know immediately where I work.

"It sounds like you have your hands full Should I call back later?."

"That's OK," I answer. "Little Lady always reacts that way when Little Sister's diaper overflows on her lap. She'll get over it. Now, about that contract..."

Think about it for a moment. If you know who you are -- I mean, who you really are -- then you're more likely to DO things that are important to you.

You'll do things that you love and as you do things you love you'll get what things in life that you want. You'll have all those fancy toys, money, whatever it is that you want.

But for all of this to happen, you've got to do it in correct order - BE, DO, HAVE.

Don't fall into trap of becoming who you want to be after you've gotten things you want. It's is possible for you to be successful this way but you're much more likely to have a hollow success that fades away with time.

And you're not creating your home based business for that are you?
