I agree with mk as to his description of Pavlina. I don't see Steve having great success in anything except self-help, and as the old saying goes, to make a million dollars, write a book about how to make a million dollars and sell it to a million suckers.

The passive income stream idea is great, but it's harder to do it successfully than people think. Of course that shouldn't discourage you, but don't expect to find a magic bullet that everyone else somehow missed - if it was easy, everyone would be doing it :)

I personally look up to Derek Sivers, founder of cdbaby. His blog has some great advice about life.

As for my work, I'm happy with what I do. It's intellectually challenging and I get paid reasonably well.
