Great blog — I found it from the Startup Princess Twitter group.

I *love* what you’re saying about Bootstrapping a business, having multiple streams of income, and having a debt-free biz. Those are some of the core principles we talk about at our Bootstrap Babes blog.

I’ve been self employed now for almost 14 years. For me, some of the things that help me know that I am going to succeed are:

1) Believing that my unique gifts and talents are God-given and divinely inspired. And as such, there will always be a use for them. I believe that I was *meant* to succeed — that we all are meant to succeed — and that the path to success is my usage of the talents and gifts given to me.

2) Providing products and/or services that solve a problem.

3) Selling what customers want and need and are willing to pay for.
