In this week’s show I feature and interview with top blogger Pat Flynn from SmartPassiveIncome.com.   Pat talks about selling his Pogs on ebay, building his first ebook business, and his huge success with his new blog.  Pat started an ebook business after getting laid off that led to two very successful businesses as well as some interesting niche sites.  Pat’s story of persistence in the face of adversity is quite an inspiration – especially for those looking to start their first business.
