It’s true folks, there is a thief among us and thankfully for you, you just got the heads up on the culprit. The Internet has been going around and silently stealing hours of time from innocent souls on a daily basis – have you fallen victim to its wily ways? I’m Outing The Internet Time Thief! I thought as much! How many times have you settled down to do some market research, learn a new skill, write an article, source some new products and so on and so on, only to find that 3 hours have slipped by and you’ve accomplished….nothing…..nada……zip!?! Why are... [Read the full story]
Just Decide Who You’re Gonna Be and How the Hell You’re Gonna Do it!

So here we are in 2010 – in short – are you gonna blow it out of the water this year or will you waste another year mooching about looking for the next best thing? What Kind of Person Are You? I’ve been doing some thinking and I’ve read many, many times (that in itself is a bit of a clue here) about people who ‘take action’ and people who just – well…..don’t!

I don’t tend to give out #ff – or Follow Fridays on Twitter, very lightly. If you follow my Twitter stream, you may have only seen the odd one or two recommendations from me. I like to get to know people a bit, use their services or see examples of what they have acheived before making a recommendation, so with that in mind – I’ve decided to expand my Follow Friday and bring it over to my blog. This way, I can let you know a little bit more about the person or people I am recommending rather than just a short recommendation on Twitter. So, to kick off... [Read the full story]
I Went to Bed With Gary Vaynerchuk Last Night…
1 February 2010 · Leave a Comment
And so Far – I’d Give Him 10/10 As I’m sure you have already realized, I’m not referring to THE Gary Vaynerchuk, more of a by-product of the man himself To be precise, I am actually listening to the iTunes audio book of Crush It, the New York Times bestseller from Gary Vaynerchuk. I don’t normally go in for audio books, I prefer to have the actual hard copy of the book, but recently I’ve tried a couple and up until this point, it wasn’t going all that well. I started off by listening to the acclaimed 7 Habits of Highly Successful... [Read the full story]

Do You Know How to Optimize Your Site? I rather got on my soapbox the other day regarding Search Engine Optimisation, because it’s getting to the point where I think it’s more a case of many people just not ‘being bothered’ to learn it rather than just not ‘getting it’. And this bothers me why? Well, I kinda get a bit peeved about it when I am always answering questions about it only to find that many of the web masters then don’t bother to implement it as it would cause them a little bit of work (sigh!). And here we all are, this new... [Read the full story]
