Without a doubt my BEST creation to date. And a competition!

Hi folks, today I want to accomplish a couple of things with this post.

The first is to introduce you to my best creation ever. His name is Arran and he was born on 2nd September at 1.11pm

For those interested he weighed 7lb 11oz.

Here he is thinking hard about something…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think you’ll agree that he has inherited his father’s hairline. Hopefully his will grow though :)

You have entered… The Comfort Zone

You unlock this door by doing nothing.

Beyond it is a dimension of routine and normality.

A dimension where nothing changes and everything is familiar.

A dimension where dreams are kept as dreams and nothing is difficult.

You’ve crossed over into…

The Comfort Zone…

(Do do do do, do do do do.) <= To the usual tune.

The Comfort Zone

Scary when you put it that way isn’t it? The Comfort Zone is a very dangerous place for entrepreneurs to be.

I was listening to ‘Sunscreen’ by Baz Luhrmann and in it he advises:

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

What do You Get if You Cross a New Dad With a New Year?

You get a fierce determination to get the head down and get busy.

Who is the new dad?

Me of course!

It is probably the best news I have ever had. We found out on Boxing Day and our baby is due at the end of August. Margo and I couldn’t be happier. Well, Margo could be happier I suppose since she has to deal with morning sickness and cramps and stuff. But I have to deal with the complaining so I suffer too. (if Margo reads this, I’m dead!)

High Hopes and Slippery Slopes

OK, so you’ve set up your website, posted a few posts on your blog and visited others’ blogs. You’ve made the commitment to yourself that this time you’re going to be a success and you’re raring to go.

With all this enthusiasm and time on the keyboard, you can’t fail. You will succeed. Follow the plan and you will achieve your dreams.

But now you fall into the trap. If you haven’t already, keep reading. It may happen to you and it’s important that you recognise it when it happens. How you handle the ‘trap’ will mean the difference between success and possible failure. This is the ‘trap’ that has stopped me in all my previous attempts to succeed.

Hit a wall today.

Hi friends,

I didn’t actually hit a wall. I was checking my stats and, although I have been doing everything I have been told to do, the numbers weren’t as high as I had hoped, so I got a bit disheartened. Then I stopped myself and gave myself a good shake, which is a lot harder to do than it sounds :-)

The Power of a Decision

What is the difference between success in your new online venture and failure?

There are many answers to this of course, but for the purposes of this article I am referring to the mindset of the individual entrepreneur. A decision needs to be made up front, before the practical steps of getting an internet presence are established. But what do I really mean by a decision?

Suitcases and Web Spaces

For almost two years now I have had an imaginary internet business.

It’s been great planning my success and imagining how fantastic life is going to be.

How am I going to accomplish this great success?  By following several online courses, reading several ebooks, collecting several PLR articles and ebooks in a folder on my hard drive and leaving them there.
