How Well Have You Planned?

    I’m sitting here at the airport with some extra time as a result of a flight delay. I got to thinking about next year and how my plans are looking. Don’t know about you but I reckon ‘planning’ is one of the missing arts in internet marketing. It’s not something taught in most IM type courses. Some people are experts at it from a former life. Some have trouble planning so much as their annual holiday! Planning is a matter if breadth and depth. Breadth is his far ahead you plan – 3 years, 12 months, a quarter, a week,… Read More »How Well Have You Planned?

      Free Offer For Opt-Ins – How Do I Do That?

        Building a list really is the first platform or foundational step  in any business – offline or online.  Offline businesses can find various ways to capture people’s details to add to their database – entry forms, competitions, attendance lists, and way more.

        Take Time to Pause and Reflect

          It’s my nephew’s birthday today.
          17.
          Wow, how did that happen?
          I can recall him as a long, skinny somewhat jaundiced baby when he was born. Pure delight with a tinge if concern.
          All his life he’s been a cute redhead. Only an issue when his family moved to a new area and he became ‘ranga’. All his life he’s been amiable and caring and devoted to his grandma.
          I don’t get to see much of him since his grandfather died and his mum fell out with the rest of the family over the will.
          But I took time out today to reflect on his life and what he has meant to me. By pausing I realized that he probably had no idea of that! I’m not sure the underpants and movie tickets I sent him for his birthday adequately express that!
