This is something I’ve been playing with. I’m a fan of home-based solar panels because they can save you a bit of money on your power bills. Unfortunately, most of the sales pitches for solar panels serve you a load of BS. Even when we bought ours, the salesperson didn’t do their due diligence, and we didn’t know any better.
We are in the non-enviable position of getting a good return per kWh that the panels do produce in Summer, which we would lose if we make any changes to our existing system for another few years.
Everyone who reads this email has a power bill.
Some of you will be able to install solar panels to reduce that.
The cost of solar panels has fallen dramatically here in Australia, and I assume it has for most of you as well.
That means that you can cover the cost of installing panels fairly quickly, which is much easier than it was for us.
No, solar energy isn’t free until you’ve paid the cost of installation, but that can happen fairly quickly in the right location.
I’m more convinced than ever today that Internet Marketing is where it is at. Let’s face it, what else could you do, where you bugger off on holiday for a month and still see the income coming rolling in. For those who’ve not experienced it, the feeling when you check your smartphone or iPad while enjoying a beer overlooking a beautiful holiday sunset and find that a

Let’s face it, what else could you do, where you bugger off on holiday for a month and still see the income coming rolling in.
For those who’ve not experienced it, the feeling when you check your smartphone or iPad while enjoying a beer overlooking a beautiful holiday sunset and find that a whole bunch of funds have been added to your PayPal account is just fantastic.
It is not as easy as some would have you believe to get to this point in your business…
…however, it is a damn site easier than in the 3D world!
So those of you who are not there yet…
…even if you’ve been trying for some time…
…don’t worry, with the right attitude and knowledge, it CAN happen.
I am hoping that the fact that you are reading this suggests that you already have the right attitude, and so you only need to worry about the knowledge.
The good news is that there is plenty of good training available that will provide you with what you need.
…unfortunately, there is also, frankly, a lot of crap out there as well.
Of course, the trick is investing in the good stuff while avoiding the toilet fodder.
Well, today, I would like to help with this with a program I bought a while back.
I had a bit of a drive the other day, which allowed my mind to wander and to consider my business and Internet Marketing in general. And I came to the conclusion that an online journey was like my car trip… …if we are going to spend a LOT of time on the journey…

What I suppose I’m trying to say is that on occasions, it is good to just stop and ‘smell the roses’ or do something for the fun or novelty factor.
Easier said than done sometimes when you have bills stacking up, the bank getting heavy and seemingly just about everyone else online making a mint!
But it should be because of these things, not despite them, that you revisit the fun-loving child inside you to recharge the batteries, put things in perspective, and give yourself renewed vigour on your journey.
If you don’t find the fun, everything can become a grind, and that is when people quit.
So go on, find that inner child and go do something ‘different’ in what you have left of today.
Those of us who create for a living, that’s everyone attempting to make a living online, are not always inspired to create. It doesn’t matter though. If you want to be successful at this game, however you define success, you have to turn up and be consistent.
Here is an exercise that I posted elsewhere recently, but I think it will work as an add-on here.
It’s certainly easy for me to say, “hey just do your work every day” right?
But sometimes we have reasons we can’t.
Blockages.
Distractions.
Even just plain old excuses.
So here is what you do.
Get a paper calendar.
On the cover, write the thing that you have a daily goal of working on.
This tracking project is all you will use it for.
Get a green marker and a red pen.
On any day when you successfully do some daily work on your goal, put a big green check.
Try to get as many as you can in a row.
That calendar on the wall can help with that.
Motivation.
Here is my own twist on it.
Any day where you fail, write on that day what got in the way.
Write why you didn’t.
Collect these reasons at the end of, say, a six-month period.
How many are there?
How many times did the same thing stop you?
Now, make a plan to eliminate, avoid, or work around those things.
You know what they are.
You know that they’re interfering.
Stop letting them.
This simple process will help you immensely because it highlights and identifies the bogeymen in your brain or the outside forces that hold you back.
Now that you see them, dodge them, and if you can’t, kill them.
That last bit?
A little bit of warning.
What you discover might not always be the best thing to hear – like if your loved ones are constantly interrupting you, for example.
You don’t have to kick them to the curb, though!
But it’s an indication that you need to set aside regular time in a room with a door that locks or even just a quiet spot away from home to make some writing appointment time.
It’s important, so don’t let it get away from you.
Based on the response from Facebook, YouTube, Google, etc., it must be. Google will not show a video from this platform in the first ten search results even if you search for “video of…”. All they deliver are YouTube videos. The other platforms are
It’s still there. www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1007818/111853081054596622. Notice the date for that post. Google had already bought out the original creator by then. Actually, I’m not sure that it was my first post, but it almost certainly was my first blog post.
My last email was a bit harsh. Most people I speak to think I’m paranoid and a worry-wart. I don’t think I am, but I think I’m being realistic. Most of the Global economy is overheated, and it cannot last. Economies have always risen and fallen, and they’re
No, I’m not flogging Bitcoin. I don’t understand how something as volatile as that, with no intrinsic value, can be used as money in the long term. It was an email from one of the financial people who pointed out the reality. Let’s assume that you have built up your retirement fund.
Making money is a transaction between two groups of people. The groups can consist of one or more people in each group. A transaction, more commonly called a sale, is where one group is paid money for a service or goods supplied by the other group. To make money, you
Not just making money online but in all parts of their lives. Getting things done. Things you know should be done but don’t do. It’s not procrastination, really; it’s more about lacking the ‘quiet courage’ to act now. To do what needs to be done, even if you don’t want to do it.
