I’m really sorry that I have been so quiet for the last week or so, I have been extremely busy getting this new look blog up and running. I would just like to say a huge thank you to Adii who wrote the original version of this theme, I simply modified it to suit my needs and it has come out looking absolutely brilliant! Read more…

With the exponential growth in the amount of new bloggers worldwide each year, it seems that quality is sometimes a little bit hard to find… Blogging is being touted as a get rich quick panacea in which anybody can suddenly become an authority on anything they want and make truck loads of cash out of it. Let me say this… that is a total misconception! Read more…

From my own personal experience, I haven’t found a better blogging platform than WordPress, but I thought I would find out what you think. People are still very divided on this issue and I totally understand that in essence it is just a matter of preference. So with that having been said, what do you use? I would love to hear some opinions on this… Do you feel that another platform is way better?Feel free to let me know with a comment Read more…

I recently came across an old post by Seth Godin in which he lets his readers know that he doesn’t like having comments on his blog and therefore doesn’t have that feature enabled.  Obviously it’s his blog and he can do whatever he wants with it, but this lead me to ask the question, why do you comment on blogs? What makes you go to all the effort of filling in your name and email address and then typing out a message?

Obviously, I am all for comments and I’m going to tell you why… If you haven’t noticed already, I am quite enthusiastic about the collaborative nature of blogging and the internet in general. I enjoy the fact that when I write a post, I get feedback from the reader… I’m giving my opinion and so I welcome you to give your opinion.  If you weren’t able to comment on what someone has written in a blog, wouldn’t you feel a little bit unappreciated? 

Anyway, I just though I would share this question with you and hopefully you will let me know your opinion by adding a comment

I was reading this post and I totally agree that there is absolutely nothing to stop anyone from starting their own little business, even if it is part-time. I strongly believe that with enough perseverance and hard work, any business venture can be successful.

If you have a dream to be financially independent and really want it bad enough… then to my mind there is nothing standing in your way to making that dream a reality. One of the main purposes of my blog is to help you to reach that dream. I’m passionate about helping others to become successful and I believe that business is not always about competition. We can collaborate to create new vale for ourselves as well as others.

The internet is the perfect medium to achieve your financial goals because of the pure scope that can be achieved! You can create a global business that has the potential to reach millions of people and you can do that in minutes. Now, that doesn’t mean that your success is going to be immediate! It is going to take time and some seriously hard work… That to me is the biggest misconception that people have about the internet. Let me just say this right now…get rich quick doesn’t exist!

With that said, if you focus on filling a need and providing value in everything you do, whether it is value for yourself (enjoying what you do) or value for the client (providing a great product or service), you will succeed! Why? Because people are smart….they can tell when you are sincere and not out to just make a quick buck.

I hope that these few words of advice are helpful and that maybe you become motivated to get up and go start something…Change the world!
