Overcoming Obstacles: Getting Through The Mud

    It’s only the tenth day of the year and I’m already feeling overwhelmed!

    The cold hard truth is that completing tasks and meeting objectives in business is just hard. As soon as I start something there’s an extra step I have to do before I can go forward; that feeling of overwhelm seems to stop me in my tracks; and then of course there’s my old friend, procrastination! Each of these serves to block the path ahead.

    I remember when my nephew (he’s 44 now – eek!) was very young and starting to dress himself. He’d pull up his pants so high they were almost at his neck.

    I’m employing that memory to help me. The way through this sludge is to pull my pants up high and get on with it.

    Plans, Goals and Achievements

      I love the concept of a fresh new year as I turn the page of the calendar over and peer into all that blank space ahead. The future seems full of promise and opportunity. It’s like we’re given another chance to get it all right from now on in. As the clock rings in a New Year, we’re given the chance to reflect on our past, remember our achievements and learn from our failures. New Year’s Resolutions are etched with fervour and wonderful intentions: lose weight give up smoking/drinking watch less TV drink more water spend more time with xxx… Read More »Plans, Goals and Achievements

      Take Daily Action To Succeed

        Some people make internet marketing all sound so simple, and I guess it is when you’ve got a set of products and know what you’re offering to whom.

        "Getting it" and applying it are two different things.

        Most people are not trying to overcomplicate things.  It just takes longer when you have to think through the steps each time. For instance, seemingly simple tasks take on new life when each step is plugged in…

        Domain Name Scams

          The internet is a wonderful place and at the same time there are unscrupulous people trying to catch the unwary.

          In the mail I have received at various times a notification of my domain names due for renewal. The document looks authentic and appears to be a regular business invoice. I’m confident some of these end up in unsuspecting accounts departments and get paid. The only thing is that what these documents authorise is that you transfer your domain to them as your new registrar and you get to pay 100 times the going cost of renewing a domain!

          Another one I got today by email is reproduced here for all to be aware:
