I had a plan to go Karting with a friend yesterday, but a couple of hours before we left we got a text message warning us that the weather wasn’t looking good and it may be called off.
I met up with Robert as planned (I’d agreed to help him with something else prior to leaving) [...]

I saw a question recently where someone was asking for advice on providing an Internet Marketing consulting service.
It was apparently their first, or one of their first, consulting gigs.
The question was full of vibes about how to protect themselves by making sure their client couldn’t take anything they came up with to another consultant.
It had [...]

I got laid off yesterday and I haven’t felt this pumped up for a long time.
The world, as they say, is my oyster.
Last time I got laid off it was a nightmare.
Firstly, my then employer had gone out of business owing me a lot of money and, secondly, I didn’t have the right of abode [...]

Life’s pretty tough for a lot of people right now. If you’re not personally affected I bet you know someone who is.
If you’re feeling nervous and worried about the future, here are two things to think about that history has proven time and again to be true:

When’s the best time to invest? When’s the best time to start a new business?
Right in the middle of a recession, because when the up-turn comes you’ll be brilliantly placed to benefit from it.
Let me say up front where I am right now: I’ve just taken a 30% cut in time and salary from my [...]

I read a series of posts in a forum group yesterday which set out the steps people should take in order to achieve success in their online businesses. So I chipped in with my own views – which I’ve repeated here:

I’ve written several times now (find them here) on why the recession provides opportunities, and how to take advantage of them.
Today, though, I read a post from Brian Clark on Copyblogger which not only takes the same line as I’ve been taking, but tells a truly remarkable and inspiring story of someone succeeding against the [...]

In the dotcom bust of 2001 the company I was working for went out of business, owing me a lot of money in unpaid salary and benefits. It was 9 months before I got another job and the combination pretty much wiped me out.
In today’s recession many people will likely have a similar experience – [...]

I’ve written before on ways to protect yourself from the effects of the recession – here and here.
I’m of the belief that recessions provide you with greater opportunities than boom times do – as long as you approach them in the right way.
So this week I’ve scoured the web to see what other people are [...]

I’m writing this from Dubai, where I’m on a consulting project for a new, young telephone company. The interesting thing is that no one locally is talking about a recession.
My client is planning a very aggressive expansion strategy over the next 3 years, with multiple new products and services coming online and heavy investment in [...]

I’ve written several posts in the past on how to become successful. Mostly they were related to Internet Marketing, since that’s the dragon I’ve been wrestling with for a couple of years now, but the principles of what I wrote apply anywhere.
So this week I decided to see what other people are saying about [...]

I’ve read a lot of posts recently from people who are new to Internet Marketing, and who are asking for encouragement from others. Some of them pretty desperate.
Nothing wrong with that. We all need encouragement.
But they forced me to recall my early days in Internet Marketing. I started out with bursting enthusiasm thinking this was [...]
