20 Questions for Zen Habits Super-Blogger Leo Babauta
Leo Babauta’s Rise to Fame
In January 2007, Leo Babauta launched his blog – ZenHabits – to share what he’d learned about simple living, changing habits and how to create an amazing life. With a full-time job, a part-time freelance writing career and a wife and six kids, he had no free time, no money to invest and little knowledge about blogging. But that didn’t stop him.
Fueled by his singular goal to liberate himself from his full-time job, Leo went to work writing great content day-after-day. He wrote 3-5 weekly blog posts for ZenHabits, as well as multiple guest posts and freelance posts for other major blogs in his niche.
