I took advantage of the Black Friday Offer

I thought about this long and hard. My business is not yet making any money and $299 is not the kind of money that I can afford to pay in a lump sum (especially before Christmas).I also have the problem (that I have had for some months now) - I want to do another website but I'm having problems finding the theme I want. What a decision! I'm at the tearing my hair out stage and the fact that there are so many to wade through is not helping.In the end I decided that I can't afford to lose out on

This is the Life

This is what I like most about having my own business. Here I am sitting in my open air office which simply comprises of a patio table and chairs, a parasol and my laptop. I may not be earning money yet but I'm already living the dream. How many companies out there give you the luxury of working in an outdoor office - none that I can think of. Just think of the health benefits - the wonderful fresh air in my lungs for one. I could quite easily cope with this. Although I have my problems in lif

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

I have been AWOL for a number of weeks, because of the things currently going on in my life - not all good but I try my best to remain positive. I focus on the good things that have happened and try to put the other things behind me.I remind myself that there are people worse off than me - and sometimes this helps me as I refrain from wallowing in self pity. Other times I feel worse as I dwell on the sadness that other people have to endure.The world is a frightening place and I feel sad for fu

I've Changed My Routine

These past few weeks, I've been working on my website and after only a couple of hours becoming really tired and have had to take a nap. Before I know it, I've slept over two hours, got very little done on my website and still got house work to do.Working continuously at a PC screen is not good for anyone, you have to take a break and re-charge your batteries. It might just be that you need go for a walk - and get some fresh air in the process.I realise now, that i need to change my routine - b

Stay Positive

The pessimistic amongst us will say that for every positive there is a negative, whilst the optimistic will simply turn that round and say for every negative there is a positive - they will also say turn a frown upside down. I should know, I've had enough bad luck (and I'm sure I'll have more) over the last two years but as I look back I realise that I have been so lucky as well - what's the alternative? You might become severely depressed and feel much worse and it will take much longer to rec

Working with Someone With a Narcissistic Personality Disorder

I stumbled across this condition on the internet when I was researching bullies and why they behave as they do. If you've read my post - My Real Job, you'll be expecting this blog, as I actually worked with someone with this disorder. I was a victim of Workplace Bullying and I discovered that my Perpetrator (for want of a better word), - suffered (and I say this word loosely as I was the one who suffered) with this condition.I was astounded when I found a website that listed the symptoms - ever
