Self Perception — or Self Deception
Years ago I worked in a blue-collar technical position … fixing Doppler radar navigation systems and other esoteric avionics systems on USAF aircraft. I was a civilian government worker, and thus very familiar with regulations, books forms and yet more forms … our work world was as much paper as it was physical.
I worked nights [...]
Seven Week Project — Thoughts On Competition
Yesterday I wrote about how "ideas" for making money were much less important that executing ideas. I’m still in hopes that i can get a few more of you to start the new year by actually taking action as we follow along with Drew’s MrGPT seven-week build a website for success series.
We’re actually starting week [...]
The Seven Week Project — Thoughts On "Ideas"
A friend spoke after my last post on selecting my niche and domain name for this project. He seemed mystified and a bit alarmed that is was "giving away" my idea … his thoughts ran along the lines of "someone else will take your idea and run with it."
Know what I think? Good for them [...]
The Seven Week Project Report — Week One "Doings"
How many are following along with the Seven Week money making site project I mentions being run by my colleague Drew over at www.mrgpt.com?
If you aren’t, and you’re even at all curious about whether you even can make money online, I urge you to try. This is not any kind of scam, membership signup deal [...]
More Perspective On The Non-Flat World
Not too long ago I wrote a piece titled The World Is Not Flat. The thrust of the article was about online US companies ignoring the huge market beyond US shores … especially those markets made possible by the power of the ‘Net. It is now easy to see that it is not just online [...]
How Will You Make Your Retirement Secure In 2008?

You see my wife and I used to operate our own small sales corporation, and cold calling was (we thought) essential to getting [...]
A Pretty Pickle To Be In
Merry Christmas. yes I am still blogging. We have a lot of family activities going on here at the old Blog Central but while the Unofficial Cook is busy in the kitchen and the many cousins here for the holidays chase themselves round the Christmas tree yours truly finds he has a lot of time [...]
A Project and a Christmas Gift For You
My colleague Drew over at MrGPT.com has started a neat looking 7 week series to show you, step by step, how to build a website that makes money.
This won’t be for everyone, perhaps, but it will be a great help for many who are suffering ‘analysis paralysis". Most people who fail to make money online [...]
Work is Love Made Visible.
One of my most popular posts here talks about quitting your day job. several of my online friends have some degree of notoriety for doing that very thing. Others are planning to do so seriously within the coming months.
In my case I already quit my day job years ago … and my only regret so [...]
Earning An Offline Living Online
But Dave, you say, I don’t want to deal with any of the "Internet Markety" sort of making money online you have talked about recently. I’m older, I don’t have the huge "need" to be online you seem to have and I really wish I knew some more conventional way of making money to empower [...]
