I thought I'd use this first post to introduce myself, I'm new-ish to blogging, well about my stuff, the things I want to blog about. I'm used to adding comments on other peoples views and interests etc, but I thought it was about time I started doing my own thing!
I'm sick of all this talk of recession, I get upset when people loose their jobs, yet I am surprised that, despite one put-down after another, one lay-off after another, wage cuts and three day working weeks, people still have faith in working for someone else!
My aunt who lives in Australia, visited yearly throughout my childhood, my uncle was / is a church envoy. They did loads of travelling all over the world. They always had magical and mysterious stories to tell. So from a very young age I dreamt of travel, being rich and being my own boss.
Yes, that last one seems a bit strange. A small boy, thinking of being his own boss. I just always expected it to be. I was always
in charge when playing games, (and 'no', I wasn't a bully or anything, in-fact I was always referred to as gentle and polite). I just made sure that I knew the rules of the game and made sure everybody played by them! Even the other kids in the street used to come to me to sort their little disagreements - like I would always choose the fair option, or tried to make sure everyone came out a winner!
I have always hated cheats, (even to this day, as I admit to playing the odd PS2 or xBox game now and then, (an understatement if any), I refuse to cheat and use the short-cuts). Anyway, I digress, I like to have the odd modifier of course, so long as everyone is in agreement.
e.g. Monopoly, the youngest player, or new player who needs help - gets it, that sort of thing. I love fair play.
It's important to me to tell you this, because that is why I am actually a very bad sales-person, I suck at it! That is, if you measure my results by fellow team colleagues that I've worked with in the past, or other competition. I put it down to the fact that I cannot sell something to someone, if I think it will harm them, not be the right thing for them, be too expensive, not as good as they can get else-where. So now you know why, I HAVE TO WORK FOR MYSELF! - I don't think anyone would offer me a job, not in sales anyway.
I digress again! My aunt 'Irene' from Australia, once said to me when I was a small boy,
"Early to bed, early to rise, makes a good man healthy, wealthy and wise!" It just seemed to stay with me.
I think truths and beliefs are what you make of them, you see,... I believed it! - I still do. As a result I have most everything that I want in my life. My wife and I are still in a loving relationship after 25+ years, (yes - with each other, I just thought I'd clarify that)! We've had five children together, two have flown the nest and three remain, but are growing up fast.
I worked, helping my father from around the age of 6 or 7, there were always jobs he needed help with - (or so it seemed, maybe he was just being a good father and was teaching me good work ethics, anyway, I thank him for it). I worked as a child / Young musician professionally from the age of eleven. I've been self-employed ever-since.
I love those sayings, especially the ones you know are truthful, make sense and fall into line with ones belief system. Here's one I hold in high regard.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Show him, 'HOW TO FISH', and he can feed himself and his family for the rest of his life".
I don't know how accurately I've recited that, people seem to have slightly different versions, but the meaning and implication remains the same.
So perhaps I'm finally getting to the point. As you can see, I like everything to be fully explained, so if you are still reading this, hopefully with some interest as to where I'm taking this, you can start to see what type of person I am, and the fact that I like a certain amount of detail.
This detail is good for you, I am my own man, I like to earn my own money. I have a good head for business and making money. I do it with ease these days online. I like to teach and or show people 'how to fish' for their own income, to make it on their own efforts. That is why I run a site called Websites-Make-Money, (dot com and dot co dot u k).-
If you want a piece of the pie, (feels like another 'saying' coming on), your going to have to WORK for it.
Don't believe all the hyped claims that, you can do X or Y business and it only takes 2 hours a day, heck, I've spent 4 hours just sorting out stuff for this blog, plus I've been working all day on my other websites! (and its a Sunday)! If you really want to make money online, or do already, you'll soon find out that it takes a little longer than the mighty claims from some of the self-proclaimed guru's. (I'm not one of them)!
Take a look at my posts I'll be making, comment on what you think and feel about the businesses that I use to make a lot of income with. I tend to use affiliate marketing / business to business and marketing to newbies, people looking to find financial Independence online. So, finally getting to the point, I'd like to tell you why my business is booming, or rather, the industry I'm in, but you'll have to read my next post, because that's where I started writing. I then realised that I should really give you some back-ground about me and had to back-track. So here we are and off you go...
