Cruising, Learning & Blogging on a Cruise in the South Pacific

If you've read a previous post of mine then you'll know that right now I'm on an 11 day cruise which is a requirement for my job.

In fact, if you have a look at the map above, we are situated just about where I've inserted the red cross.

Thanks to satellite Internet, I'm able to write and publish this post from a cruise liner in the middle of the ocean.

Quite remarkable isn't it?

So yes, it is possible to run an online business from practically anywhere, as long as you have an Internet connection and some sort of tech device to do business.

However, it does not mean it will necessarily be easy!

Satellite Internet is not cheap, about as fast as old dial up speeds and annoyingly unreliable and inconsistent.

Forget about live chat, watching videos and trying to use online photo editing sites, it's just not going to happen.

One has to make peace with the fact that it will take at least 3 minutes for each new page to load.. if it happens at all.

Then there's the crazy disruption to one's usual routine which seems to have slowed me down to match the Internet speed. Grrrrrrrrrrr

Throw a cyclone into the mix, resulting in 7 meter wave swells and it becomes miraculous that one did not decorate one's laptop screen with the last meal one had a couple of hours earlier.

So what can you do? Be patient, accept that it is what it is and do what you can.

I have still managed to write and publish two blog posts this week, start working on Month 2 tasks for the Super Affiliate Challenge and be as active as possible here at WA.

Oh... and now I've added a blog post here too. :)

It's not at my usual pace but it's still happening albeit much S L O W E R..

Never give up!!

PS: I could have included at least another two pics but then this post would have taken another few days at least... maybe next time and then again, maybe not... :)
