Talking all things motivational, entrepreneurial, blogging & travel. Pretty much anything other than "How to Make Money Online"! (Because when I blogged MMO I felt like a clone of the other 12 million people doing it)

Working to Visualise Your Life Goal

Goals. So important in life. Without them, our life is without direction. Without purpose.

They are a powerful motivator. They’re there to keep us focused. To help us believe and achieve.

But what happens when your goal never seems real? What happens when you’re unable to effectively visualise your goal? What happens when your goal, no matter how dedicated and passionate you are about it, no longer sends you the energy you need?

My Life Long Battle

I have many dreams. Many goals. Many aspirations. But my ability to achieve them is hindered in my lack of ability to visualise them.

Meet me at BarCamp Leeds

14 July, 2008 - Misc - 4 Comments

I just registered my attendance for BarCamp Leeds on 16th and 17th August.

It’s nine months since the last (and first) BarCamp was held in Leeds and they’re now looking to host a second event, building on the huge success of the first.

As well as some no doubt fantastic presentations (potentially one from me), there will be plenty of Wii gaming, beer drinking, pizza eating, and associate networking. And all for free.

They’re even hoping to have a 24 hour code-a-thon… that is, designing and developing a new Web site for a charity in Yorkshire in just 24 hours, created by those who attend the BarCamp.

Rekindling Our Child Like Self Belief

22nd March, 2005. Saturday. 7:30am. Clear, blue skies on a crisp Spring morning.

Seven teams. Four members per team. And nothing but the hardest challenge of our lives ahead of us.

Me? 14 years old. With a dodgy knee.

On this clear March morning, I had strapped a rucksack to my shoulders and set about undertaking a 35km hike across the rugged, mountainous region of northern England. For no other reason than to have some fun.

Sunday is here and that means it’s time to share the lurrrrve. Here are some of my favourite musings in the blogosphere from this week.

Connecting With the Offline Customer - A Non Bloggers Perspective
Scott McIntyre writes his first ever blog post… and it happens to be a guest post at Liz Strauss’ Successful & Outstanding Bloggers. Scott is going to be doing a series of posts regarding life as a non-blogger who is an avid reader of blogs. This initial post and the upcoming posts in the series should help you, the blogger, to understand a portion of your audience you potentially don’t realise you had.

Week 26 Round-Up & Comment Awards

12 July, 2008 - Misc - 12 Comments

It’s Saturday and that means it’s time for a quick recap of the week on this blog. And what a week it’s been!

Notable Points of the Week

4100% Daily Traffic Increase - Wow. I’ve had a permanent smile fixed to my face for the past 27 hours. In that time, this blog has received 2,500 visitors, and it’s still rising at an unbelievable pace. So far, it has worked out at a 4100% increase in traffic compared to the average day. Where from, you ask? StumbleUpon. This is by far the most success I’ve had with StumbleUpon to date, and it’s all thanks to Kelly Rigby of She Power. She submitted my Millionaire Homeless Guy post to StumbleUpon and since then I’ve had a constant army of visitors hitting my blog, commentating, subscribing and emailing me.
