New Year’s Resolution

January 9, 2010

My new year’s resolution is basically to fail a bit more. I spend too much time thinking about what might go wrong. I need to do more and correct things if they do go wrong. So I’m going to see if I can get an article rejected at ezinearticles.com by submitting over and over again. [...]

Making Money Online: Starting Again

December 20, 2009

I’ve earned some money on the internet, which is great. But I haven’t earned enough and most importantly I haven’t earned consistently. I’ve spent a fortune on Internet Marketing products, some have been excellent, most have been really good, some have been full of things  that I already knew. This has been happening more often [...]

Moving from old website

May 7, 2009

I’ve imported content from my old website and I’ll be running around putting out fires until everything is properly in its place. I’ve decided to finish writing on this blog for the time being.

Progress Report Jan 2009

February 9, 2009

I’ve read a few posts from Tyler and Smemon reporting on their progress with their blogs and earnings in general and thought it might be worthwhile doing the same myself. Except for the fact that I’m not earning much money or increasing my subscribers. Things are a bit grim chez scoby. Record What I’m Doing [...]

Change your environment, not your behaviour

February 5, 2009

I found an interview with Tim Ferriss, the author of the 4 Hour Work Week, on Leo Babauta’s The Power of Less. One of the things he mentions in this interview was very interesting – He said that he often changes his environment because it’s easier than trying to change his behaviour. I’ve posted a [...]

Reward my self with more work

January 11, 2009

At the moment there are so many things that I want to do. I am developing a business project in partnership with a colleague, I’ve got 2 other blogs I want to develop and some ideas for sites that require custom programming that would probably take to long for me to do myself. I think [...]
