How do you deal with negative comments and critics about your blog? I thought I had a thick skin but some blog commenters can really push my buttons.

I need help earning more money. I’m a workhorse, great at ideas, and a very creative artist. Self-employed artist for 11 years. I’m busy rebuilding my financial life post-divorce. What I need is more income to support my good ideas. I’d like to be able to hire an assistant so I can do the idea […]
I would like to say that I am interested in kick starting my career or starting a business. But that would be a lie.
