"Funny what you find under your nose" 10.9.07
Other than your mouth that is. ;o)
A blueprint to "getting there" right on the sidebar. ;o)
And one that gains you 100% commission?!
Funny what we already know is where we look to get answers to what we want to know.
Making changes to your blog is all good and well as long as things are improving or improvable.
Making alot of changes at once is a bad thing...unless it is the only option.
You want to know what changes work and what don't so you always take them one at a time to get that basic truth you can act on.
Did that change improve? Yes, act and improve further, test, check results etc.
Then change another things, go through the process again.
One a time.
Little changes make the biggest difference quite often. :o)
Any thoughts?

"It's still a journey" 9.9.07
We all start at the bottom when we start out blogging, we all take it one post at a time. Everyting takes time and blogging is no different...
You may start off humbly like above... ;o)
With dreams of climbing that success ladder in the hope of something better and bigger.
One step at a time, if we all walk the steps we all take the same amount of steps...but a tip for new bloggers, the faster you start taking the steps, the better and I mean post as much as twice a day for the first few weeks to really get the pace going...before you know it you are half way there. ;o)
Next thing you know, you are at the top, and you never know something like the above could be waiting! ;o)
One step a time... :o)

"Social networking mastered" 8.9.07
Exciting times for you bloggers who actively use social networking, but only if you understand it and use it the right way.
Web 2.0 was what I had been eagerly waiting for, being deaf you can probably understand why. ;o)
Being a blogger meant it never passed me by, as blogging was part of interactivity (web.2.0) before the phrase web 2.0 was even coined, yet now it is making a big difference to my blogs, as well as me. ;o)
Believe it or not there are still lots of people who don't know what web 2.0 even means, or have yet to even hear of it.
Web 2.0 = better interactivity. ;o)
Using web 2.0 (social sites, etc) is the best thing you can possibly start doing if you are a blogger or website owner, after all you are already a part of it. ;o)
In my eyes the best way to get traffic to your blog, more so if it's a new blog is using the power of social networking, bookmarking sites etc.
Maximise what you have before getting more traffic and you get to make the most of the new traffic too, yes?
That's what I have been doing, and it works for me well, so now I started to think of ways to increase my traffic.
So I had a great surprise when I grabbed this new report, book, pdf, whatever label you give it and this book just reinforced the fact what I am already doing is the right things in the right way, but I can still do better... ;o)
While I already knew a fair bit of what this shares, (being a blogger almost 4 years made sure of that), it gave me new angles to look at what I already do and plan to do.
These new angles I can promise you will make a big difference to what I had planned anyway...great to see your own plans and ideas from another angle...it expands it. ;o)
While some people will look at things from a "will this make me more money" angle, the key to everything online is traffic, and more traffic can mean more money, right? ;o)
To me the traffic increase is what most people need, even if no intention to monetise that traffic is there, people still want more readers, right?
Of course, so I recommend everyone grab this report, read it and master it. ;o)
The biggest thing I can say is I KNOW it works because I have had success with it and I KNOW web.2.0 is what you should learn more about, even if you have no blog yet.
You are online, you use web 2.0!
Grab it, share your thoughts in the comments. ;o)

"Two faced warriors" 6.8.07
I was going to stop bothering even mentioning the warriors due to the mistreatment I had yet there has been something I felt had to share with those warriors who still read my blog here...and it IS a few of you judging by my blog visit stats.
Not surprisingly because of the fact it happens in life everywhere I have encountered some seriously sad backstabbing from the two faced warriors who are simply to stupid to realise that it only hurts them.
Listen up you backstabbing two faced warriors (you know who you are too) , you are NOT hurting me in any sense but you are making yourself look stupid...which you probably are so it's no surprise there.
I will say though you are seriously misguided when you say the warriors is the place to be if you want success...woah there, if you really think so you are as stupid as you sound.
Most people have NEVER heard of the place and yet they have good success...so what gives you that stupid view on things?
The fact you have emailed me calling me alsorts and saying that I am a nobody is not doing anything but making it clear to me what sort of a person you are...not one I would want to know anyway.
What IS surprising is the few who I considered friends who have stabbed me in the back with their two facedness, so they are not really friends as such just users who are a little to stupid to realise they make themselves look bad...I could EASILY name you here for everyone to see....would you like that?
Didn't think so either...so a little warning to you there, that should you feel like emailing me with another load of crap...your name will be on here for all to see!
If you are so sure of the warriors making you rich as you say...why are you bothering with me?
Let me say this...the way you said that you will get rich from the warriors will end up ONE way...you being banned because what one of you said in essence is you plan to rip them off!
Doubt that will go down well lol!
Whatever happens you won't be hurting me because I am not there to be ripped off... ;o)

"Clarifying the focus" 23.7.07
Having a few of you readers emailing me to ask about my last post about the focus project and what the "membership" offered, I felt it best to clarify the matter.
This project is a forum which is not available to the general public at large so it's a private and closed forum / community.
One with a difference.
Having a forum with 10's of 1000's of members is great but if only 100 or so are active then some are missing out big time.
My aim is to to have all ACTIVE members, I feel the optimum would be 1000 for the maximum benefit to EVERYONE.
Once I hit 1000 members I may well close it completely, I will let the members have an input to this decision too.
The reason for this is obvious when you see inside, once you have joined us ONE post in particular will make it ALL clear to you.
Seeing who is here already means there will be some GREAT threads to come here plus knowing outsiders cannot see them, not much will be held back.
If you are serious about getting somewhere while setting your goals you will appreciate this project and its massive potential to help you.
As you see in the last post with the offer price and it's bonus year FREE as well, not forgetting also having a locked offer price for all years after that you have a good opportunity to make a great leap to reaching your goals.
Where will YOU be in one year from now?
Join us NOW and ensure you achieve your goals.

"How to create a successful blog" 14.7.07
I am annoyed, I have been at this blogging lark a few years now, almost 4!
I won't say I am an expert, I know what I know though, and it's got me this far. ;o)
BUT I could have done so many things so much better and now I would have a much better situation for it.
It's never to late to change things and that's a wonderful thing about blogs...you can change and update things.
What if I had done it all the right way right off the bat though!?
I would be earning a full time living from blogging I reckon. ;o)
There are some things I have missed, you may ask how I know now what it is I missed.
I just read something that really opened my eyes and it cost me BUGGER all! ;o)
Bargain...and priceless learning for me.
The funny thing is I have blogged almost twice as long as the author...damn I need to pay more attention! :o)
That's not to say I should know more, just that you never know who you will learn things from.
If only I had the blueprint when I started blogging!
Grab it free and read it whether you are new or seasoned at blogging, even better if you have yet to start.
Imagine you implemented all this into your blogs from day 1?
At least I know every new blog I do will have a better chance of success.
Also you may see big and small changes around here. ;o)
For me this fantastic book joined alot of the dots as well as highlighted the small things that would have better influenced the bigger things.
I will be taking more notice of page 13, which will of course set the tone for the rest of the blog!
I also will capitalise more on page 25, which I do already but underestimated it a fair bit. ;o)
If I had done chapter 25 better, then I would be feeling the real effects of pages 26, 27...which would mean 28 would have been explosive!
Grab it read it, and make sure you are NOT on page 48!
Utilise this fantastic blueprint.
I am glad I read this and would go as far as saying this IS the best free resource on blogging you will find.

"Something unique" 2.4.07
I enjoyed doing the last post with the tips, as well as looking at all the other tips people shared after they were tagged with the meme.
Interesting to say the least.
I did notice something NO ONE mentioned regarding success.
It is an easily overlooked yet very important step in getting to where you want to be.
I can with 100% accuracy say this has been a part of your life even if you don't realise it!
Because I have yet to see this anywhere I decided to do it myself for your benefit as well as my own.
There is an important thing I should say here, that is not everyone will do this simply because they are NOT the type of people to make the most from it.
Those who do appreciate it will know how much it will help them.
They will still be surprised at how effective yet simple it is.
I know it works because it was been a BIG part of why I am the way I am
I know that without this I would have a very different life to what I have now, it would be far far worse if I never had benefited from this, I can guarantee that!
I can attribute that very fact I can talk to this one tip!
So...will it help you?
I am sure once you are aware of how much a difference it can make you will be glad I told you and gave you the opportunity to benefit from it.
So, am I going to tell you or not?
Of course, but don't underestimate it.
The one key you need is focus, yet it's not the actual focus that makes this work, and work so well.
It's more than that, it's something unique, take a look for yourself, simply go to FOCUS!
It IS limited...so check it out fast!
Take care,

"10 daily success tips" 30.3.07
Seems some nosy bugger called Aaron Potts wants to know every one's success tips?! ;o)
That is a success tip right there in learning from others.
But I debated on this post after seeing Lynn Terry tagged me with it... even after what Lynn said about why she tagged me?
"Because your personal story truly inspires me…" :o)
Thanks Lynn!
Why did I debate it then?
What is classed as success?
Being a personal thing it will be different to everyone, so I asked...
"Am I a success?"
In my eyes I am in many ways, in others?
When I get a donation using the button below with a comment in the paypal email like...
"Item/Product Name: being a cool person with a cool blog - here's beer"
Thank you...what a cool reader... ;o)
Then I think....hmmm am I successful blogger too... ;o)
So do I have tips or not!
I think so, here are a few tips I use in life, in no particular order.
1. Trust your gut instinct, it's rarely wrong!
Having had to grow up relying more on my better senses and trusting my gut 100% I have learned it very rarely is wrong.
If it's saying something, shut up and listen to it! ;o)
There has been many a time it's saved me some serious hassle and problems, so I never underestimate it you shouldn't either, it wants and knows what's best for you at that precise moment.
2. Always strive to keep reading and learning.
Reading has been a massive part of my life and it even influenced my speech. Reading is never a bad habit, unless you read the wrong things!
Reading stimulates your brain nicely, everyone reads, but it's also what you read that matters.
3. NOTHING teaches like doing.
You can read all the instructions you like, until you actually DO you will limit your learning greatly.
Experience is the greatest teacher you have, experiences are what shape you.
As I already mentioned reading helped my speech, now the actual reading didn't do it...ME talking while reading did it!
The experience of doing made it the reality.
4. Be honest and faithful to yourself.
It's YOUR life, you have to live with it! So you owe it to yourself to be honest with yourself at all times.
This has to be one of the most important parts of life and what you do.
Can you in twenty years live happily with what you are doing now?
There must be millions of old people with a head of regrets!
Don't be one of them.
5. Trust yourself and have faith in what you can do.
You ARE better at things than you really think, that's fact!
We all underestimate ourselves and what we can do, yet the ONLY thing stopping you is YOU...I speak well because I KNEW I could do it and had faith in myself to do it.
Believe that you can do it, have faith and DO. You may surprise yourself, there was NEVER a baby who could walk at birth!
6. Mindful of the real why!
Everything you do, you do for a reason. It's that "why" you do it you should always be aware of.
The why is what should be driving you.
I want my sons to be proud of me, it's at the forefront of mind in all I do because it is the real why.
My sons are the most important part of my life therefore it stands to reason how I am in their eyes matters as much as what I can do for them...leading by example as it's not about having the most money, the best car, the biggest house, it's about "being".
7. Positive thinking!
Everyone says it yet it's so true and important and I will repeat it.
You should ALWAYS look for the positive aspect of every moment, I have had some pretty negative moments but there is always something positive there.
That positive will minimise the negative, everytime.
Light always eliminates the dark.
8. Silence really IS golden.
Believe me in those silent moments you have your mind will work wonders.
Stillness runs deep!
Silence has no distractions. Need I really say more on that? ;o)
9. Be yourself.
You are unique and you have uniqueness in your way of being.
Get to know yourself better everyday.
Know what really stand out in you and your personality.
This uniqueness IS your ticket to success.
There IS something different about you, you just need to know it, appreciate it, nurture it.
10. Read my blog daily! :o)
Well of course # 10 is pretty important!
They key to all of this is YOU!
So, that's 10 good tips from me, and now I have to tag others to share theirs!
So in no particular order I am tagging...
Alice Seba
Becuase she is on a roll at the moment...
Michel Fortin.
Bound to have some good tips...
Martin Avis.
Because I repsect his views on most things... (wonder if he will do this meme this time?)
