Are you working a 9-5? Are you your own boss and able to pay all your bills, plus have a little or a lot extra to use for comforts, savings and enjoyable things/activities? Are you location independent? I hope you have success as long as what you are doing is legal and ethical!

        Ha! You got that right!

        Once upon a time they used to be. I don't see them being close to synonymous again any time soon and to think otherwise would be like believing in fairy tales.

          So what, all of those theories I've been shoved down the throat in the last 4 years at Law school were just a bunch of lies? :confused: I think I need to call agent K and J to do their trick with their little toy on me...

            Okay, you made me laugh!

            Well, speaking of lawyers and ethics, do I need to say any more?

            I mean when a thief hurts himself trying to break into someone's home or business, then is able to sue for his sustained injuries, apparently that is lawful but it sure lacks in ethics on both the thief's and lawyer's part.

            See where I'm going?

      Legal: Does not break laws.
      Ethical: Provides a net benefit to some or all humans and does not do significant harm to any human.

        So it's ethical to harm someone then?

        I suppose prostitution is legal in some countries. Your second point is much more arguable, but visiting prostitutes is an accepted part of life in countries such as Cambodia and Thailand.

    I'm my own boss, but we are just getting started on our family businesses. My wife is an independent sales consultant and I do all the background work on her website at stylemekelly.com. She started out with one business selling candles three years ago and has launched two other business since.

    I just found this forum to try to find good ways to get her website ranking higher on Google. I'm pretty excited to try all the different techniques on various threads in this forum.

    Thanks!
