Constrained by Geography
Many people think the grass is always greener on the other side. That it only sucks here. Then they go elsewhere. And it sucks there too.
I find myself wanting to travel a bunch. It sucks here. Or maybe not.
The reality of it is that I have made a few friends in London, New Zeland, Australia, Hawaii, Spain, California, NYC, Ohio, etc etc etc
On the web geography does not constrain who you meet or what you can do.
Longterm for many people to do well they still have to interact and extend beyond their topical communities. Imagine being one of the few marketers who was also friends with 10 of the top web designers in the world. I still need to be a hell of a lot more social than I am, but at least I see it as a fault I need to fix.
Hopefully I will not tell myself lies to keep myself constrained by geography.

Aaron,
So many people hold themselves back from what they are capable. I do it almost everyday. What makes me different and from what I just read in your post, makes you different, is that we don't quit. To me, that determines the success someone will have in thier life.
