I'm Back!
Hi everyone.
I am back from my short break to go to my Mum's 90th birthday party. She is now in Singapore partying with my brother and sister and I am back to work. I think brother and sister got the better deal!
First things first, I go away and when I get back my rank has dropped below 300! I'm impressed. But I have missed you guys and your support and help and funny posts, and.......
So now down to work. I will have to work out were I got to, but I think I was in the middle of writing another post. Then I think it is into stuff about money! Woohoo, I like the sound of that!
Meanwhile, I subscribe to a number of newsletters, etc and one of my favourites just wrote a great post on passion, the link to it is below and I recommend you all read it. Some very true and useful insights in this article.

Welcome back, Keith! Glad you had a good time with Mum. Now, as you say, back to work. Thanks for the article!
I like the article about Jobs. The "truth" is always a bit more nuanced than the sound bites and the trade show speeches a lot of us end up seeing.
Steve Jobs was definitely a passionate person ... subject to strong barely controllable emotions. He also had a passion for being different ... even counter culture at times in his youth. He had a very eccentric personality.
But at the end of the day he needed to find a way to make a living so he could move out of his parents' home. He tried working for others, but that was too much being like his own father. It was his passion for being different than every one around him that led him down the entrepreneurial track.
It was pure coincidence that he had a good friend named Steve Wozniak and they both were raised in the heart of Silicon Valley that led him to the computer industry. From there it was his passion for being different in an eccentric way that led to Apple Computer.
So when we are told to seek a niche for which we are passionate about, I think the more operative term is strongly interested in. This so we might have an easier time with the continuous stream of content needed for successful SEO campaigns.
Our passion is to find success with our internet businesses, and in doing so this makes us a little different ... that is the motivation that drives us.
