Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Continuing the recent trend of discussing personal development and procrastination, I happened to be talking to a friend today on a very similar topic. The essence of the conversation boils down to just 2 things: Nothing is achieved without action Only one thing stops you from taking necessary action and that’s YOU Seriously, think about [...]
Is It Just Me?
I’ve recently started thinking (again) about improving my organisation, and generally keeping on top of things. It’s actually prompted me to re-think my attitude to “lists” but more on that shortly… I have literally just caught myself wasting yet more precious time, Googling, digging up eBooks on my removable HDD and “agonising” over which system [...]
Procrastination
No matter where you look, irrespective of field of endeavour and regardless of the aims and objectives, you can always find a good supply of people struck down by the “disease” of procrastination. I myself am incredibly prone to this condition, and it is without doubt the number one target on my personal hit list [...]
Getting Things Into Focus
As we approach the end of yet another year, it is only natural to look back, reflect, and contemplate the year ahead. In my case, 2009 has been particularly eventful. This year I hit 40, celebrated the arrival of a wonderful baby son, and said a sad farewell to our 4-legged Greyhound "daughter" Billie. It’s [...]
Too Much Of A Good Thing?
Mixing business with pleasure is a good thing; being friends with business colleagues, and being able to provide something of value for friends is a good situation to be in.

Babies, Bathwater, You Know The Rest…
An online presence, SEO Techniques, paid advertising and online press releases. ALL these things are great for helping grow your business, but there’s a disturbing trend I have observed lately, and that is the way that many people seem to concentrate on the hip new cool techniques and tools, and forget some of the basic [...]
A Better Way?
People are attracted to the “start a business from home” industry for various reasons; some because they desperately need a few extra dollars, some because they are fed up with being an employee, and some because they think it’s an easy way to make a fortune. Now I will say that the majority of online [...]
Would You Know What To Do With This?
So I was only thinking yesterday about the sort of script-based solutions that are marketed to people when, lo and behold, a perfect example of what I had in mind drops straight into my Inbox… Now I am not going to name names, I am not even going to identify the script concerned – that’s not important [...]
Exploitation
I got into a conversation on Facebook about exploitation of ignorance, and it was put to me that ALL capitalism relies on that very thing. I actually disagree, and tend to agree much more with the view “offer enough value and success and money will follow”. Now a lot depends here on how you interpret [...]
