Fairtrade

Fairtrade

Not so long ago the series 'Blood Sweat and Takeaways' ran on television here in Australia. It didn't air on one of the most popular stations but nonetheless it aired. To say I get distressed over world poverty, people working in extreme conditions, seeing the seriously disadvantaged lives of others, would be a huge understatement. I cannot put into words how it affects me. Anger, despair, hopelessness are

The power of insights, the energy of action, the reward of progress. Did you notice I've moved the furniture around a bit? Well a bit is a slight understatement I guess from the previous layout and navigation. Why?

Considering The Customer Life Cycle

In my last post, making money on the Internet, I wrote about cleaning up your unfinished business; all those loose ends you have laying around online. I prompted you to think about what it is you'd really like to do online and to consider focusing on one or two main projects. What I'm really trying to encourage is the idea of you building something substantial, something exciting, something you want to live and breathe every day. Something more substantial than

Making Money On The Internet

Making Money On The Internet

Recently I had a couple of friends ask a few questions about making money on the Internet. These are people who would be considered absolute newbies to the world of online money making and the technical parts that go along with that. Technical parts such as "How do I make a web site?" I tell them it's super easy but they look at me suspiciously with that "You're just saying that to make me feel better" kind of look on
