    You possibly scared the hell out of her.

    She might have read some of your posts on this forum and ran like hell.

    Obviously she's not ready to change her recipe.

    Actually it shouldn't come as a surprise. When something's working and you're "making do", most people are unwilling to risk breaking the pattern.

    "comfort zone".....isn't it amazing how people are able to become comfortable with their own lot in life.

    At what point do you accept that your life is boring enough (ok, lets be politically correct- stable enough) not to change any part of it.

    as Pink Floyd would say:
    The child is grown
    The dream is gone
    I... Have become comfortably numb

    I for one will never reach that point, there is always another avenue to explore....if not to make money then just for the hell of it....

    That was such an inspiring story Adrian. Pity she's MIA. No cell number or other way of contacting her? Maybe somethings happened to her and we (wrongly?) think she's been scared off.

    Adrian, I may be mistaken, but I never saw a follow up from you regarding that young entrepreneur that was selling door to door on her bicycle. What became of her?

    I never saw her again. I suppose that too much oppertunity is not a good thing either!
