Sssshhhhh!
Hi all - hope you are well.
Just thought I would try another blog to see if my brain is still connected to my head. Sometimes it floats away on a track of its own without letting me know. Can cause all sorts of embarrassing problems!
In this blog, I want to let my new friends and colleagues know that I am currently at a short standstill with my site. It's not because I have lost interest, become too lazy or stuck - it is because my foray into all things internet marketing is a big hush hush secret.
You see, I have a little ebay business which actually does quite well. It keeps me busy and pays not too badly - just not sufficient to achieve my ultimate goal. I need to earn enough spending money to allow my husband (known as "ma Jim" or my Jim for the Scottishly challenged) to retire.
Now, he is a lovely big fellow, who works very hard, but he has the imagination of a sleeping sloth. Everything is cut and dried in his world. My world is much more daring and ambitious. There is a hint of non-compatibility there, you might conclude and rightly so. Normally, we can figure out some "meet half way" solutions and toddle off to our respective worlds. The evenings are for catch up and cuddle time.
And so to WA and my terrible secret. In order to give myself the best chance of success, I need to remain upbeat, focused and enthusiastic. My cup needs to be at least half full where ma Jim's cup is always in a state of drought. My optimism and his pessimism endows our lives with a simulacrum of yin yang that gels well for us, as long as I keep my entrepreneurial efforts in hiding. I do, occasionally, slip up and the bucket of cold water soon comes out to drench me and my lofty aspirations. The result of this is that I work on my site out of eye and ear shot and at very odd times.
However, when (not if) it comes to pass that my site starts to pay some revenue, he will become very enthusiastic and decide that it was probably his idea all along. He will remember having suggested it at some point. And there you have it - the secret of our marriage success.
Thanks for reading all and take care.

He is a real champ. Not many like him. Truthfully, he works very hard. He is just stuck in the ' 50s sometimes. Tarke care.

Good luck to you! All the best and keep trying!
I've slipped and not feeling as upbeat and positive. Which is bad cause to be better and to change this negative period, I should change my mood...I must and I will!!
Please keep me posted on your success!!! Xx
Thank you so much. Sometimes it is just starting that is the hard bit, isn't it? Then, when you get going, nothing can stop you. I am sure you will be uplifted soon and look forward to your posts. Take care.
