Never Stop Learning!

The Only Way You'll Make ItWhen starting just about anything, most people focus on the end. Where will this take me?A lot of people will do just about anything to get there faster than is actually possible.That's where quitters come from.When you make a decision that you are changing something in your life, and it ends with something better than you have now, the most important part of the beginning is managing expectations and planning to WORK.One of the most important lessons you can learn in

Great Day on Amazon!

Scanning Through My Reports...So, I have a bit of a ritual when I sit at my desk. Check my WA for any notifications, check Amazon for new clicks and possible sales, check my other affiliate programs.I went through my WA stuff and was just finishing my first coffee when I opened Amazon and took a look at my reports. A pretty sad $0 on all the countries that I have an Associates account for.Instead of worrying over that, I decided to go in and look at the actual clicks for each. Again, ritually,

Success Isn't An Accident

What is Success?When you imagined success growing up, it was probably a lot like most people: lottery winnings or a dead rich uncle.The very serious and unchanging truth is that success doesn't just happen...ever.To know exactly what success is, you need to know what it is that you truly want.Do you want to quit your full-time (slave) job?Do you want to make $10,000 a month? Or would $1,000 be enough?What do YOU want?How would it feel when you get there?Where Are You?When you are looking for so

Finally! My First Commission!

See The Single Coin Stack?Most businesses work pretty similarly when it comes to success. It doesn't happen like when you get paid per hour. It can feel like you are working for nothing for a bit too long.Then it comes.You see, it isn't just business that works this way. All the best things in life seem to happen immediately after the point that you feel like giving up.This has happened to me many times over my life, and I did my best to teach my wife the lesson of patience.Unfortunately, no ma

It's Been a Few Days

Moving WeekAfter seeing a woman for a few months, we decided to get a place together. As she had the better day job, and my apartment wouldn't allow for her dog, cat and 15 year old son, we found a bigger place in her town. I decided I would look for work nearby.This is the first time I had to move two complete homes into one.We packed a car three times at my place and four times at her's, and we still filled a 26' truck to the door.

Has anyone else noticed?

1997I was 12 years old. I remember hearing the words El Niño on the news at my grandmother's cottage in Nova Scotia (about 2 hours North of Halifax). Now, I have always been a bit odd, feeling things and noticing things that others don't. But, that year others noticed the strange things that happened.First, there was wave after wave of abnormal creatures for our area. Things I have never seen before, like clear jellyfish that don't sting; thousands of them. There were also new sea gulls.

My First "Awesome" Site

So, This HappenedI was doing my usual rounds, checking notifications, following people back, seeing if there's a comment to give, then BAM!I go to my SiteManager and the bar turned green...I've had two sites running, this one about two weeks, the other about six. I've asked for feedback four times for the other site and have received none. Seems technology isn't on a lot of people's interest list.So, now it's write content, and sit back waiting for Site Trust to crawl its way up, and finish my
