    Multiple packages is one of the best decisions I made. Though I have to give credit to Chris Guillebeau ( http://chrisguillebeau.com ) for that one. He told me how important it is.

    The blog: The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau ( http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/ ), writes a lot about bootstrapping and how he started out, he now has a self sustaining blog and affords to travel all over the world and blog about it. It's a great blog, lots of inspiration, and I think it'll definitely meet your criteria.

    Are you familiar with Chris Guillebeau's blog(the art of non-conformity)? He has some great insights about being self-employed and the fear of change, especially for those who have a steady jobs/mortgage/kids/etc. I alwas go there for inspiration and reassurance when I need it. http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/
