Firstly I want to say a real big sorry, for not keeping the blog updated. You see I discovered that I am human after all and with all the best intentions in the world.

I simply failed with my first intention of keeping the blog updated on a daily basis for the first 21 days.

So yes I admit it I failed.

I have made one of the biggest and a most fundamental faux pas or mistake in creating an online blog and that is not keeping it updated regularly.

You see, I have learned from this, and this makes it apparent that you know I am indeed human and I am going through this process too. You see I am not perfect, and I expect many of you aren’t too?

I must admit I had the best intentions in the world at the beginning, but the subconscious brain then triggered into action and told me that I needed to go for perfection each time before I submit any further blog posts. Don’t worry I am not some kind of strange idiot that argues with himself (please don’t tell me brain I said that), but a human being who is not perfect but has the desire to share information.

So what have I learned from this, after all that is what I do, if I identify a problem I instinctively come up with solution?

1. Create your blog posts around your life style and working habits, don’t try to force the blogging into your lifestyle, because your subconscious mind will sabotage your efforts, no matter what your intentions are. Based upon this knowledge I will now create a batch of pre-written blog posts a week in advance and schedule them to be published within the built-in feature of WordPress, as I’m a ‘strike while the iron is hot’ kind of guy.
2. Use the built-in proofreader within WordPress to identify fundamental grammar and spelling mistakes. When I read some of my previous posts, I was startled at the number of errors that I saw and this is when the subconscious mind kicked in to protect me, because it knows I am a perfectionist and simple spelling mistakes don’t instil great confidence in my writing ability.
3. Let go of perfection. Yes I am telling my brain that too! I am writing this to share information and not provide lessons on grammar and spelling. When I read an article I look for the information first and if I see some minor errors, I usually ignore them and anyway I am hoping with this journey I will get better in time and therefore the issue of perfectionism will disappear.
4. I love WordPress. I have found myself singing the praises of WordPress, to anyone that will listen. Why? It is due to the simple fact it encompasses so much functionality and an infinite number of flexible ways it can be used, with what is fundamentally a FREE package. How wonderful. Also it has a great and helpful user community of users and developers. I would recommend the use of WordPress to everyone considering creating an online presence or as I like to call them e-Business assets.
5. Just Flipping Do It (JFDI) or Take Some Action Now (TAN) sometimes we think of all the negatives and listen to the voices in the head, that tell us we aren’t good enough or that we don’t know enough, so we’re constantly researching and learning, without the doing. No matter the amount of theory or preparation you have in your head, it is only with ACTION you truly can make things happen.
6. If you slip on a promise, just acknowledge it and renew your intention to start again, because it is the JOURNEY not the destination that will enrich you ultimately.
7. Post a minimum of 4 posts a week, you are now in a position to serve, now that you have made the commitment to blog. My job now is to constantly add value to those who I choose to share valuable information with, it is that simple.

I think that is it for lessons learnt. Thanks for reading this and I hope my lessons has created some value to you.

So the big question is what action are you going to do?

If you are like me you probably receive a considerable amount of e-mail that tell you about the next ’money magic creator software ×’ and by pressing one key on your keyboard it will double your income tomorrow, or that this software will automate the creation of your online empire by creating website that will literally pump money into your bank account and send you cheques on a daily basis and of course, how can I miss out the fact you will become a zillionaire in 24 hours?

How irresponsible of me?

OK, alright. I may be exaggerating a little but you get the point, because each time I see these e-mails, it really grates at my very being, because they are irresponsible and so I ask myself who really beliefs this stuff anyway?

I mean I know, you can’t ignore that these are immensely economic challenging times (and hopefully we will not see something as bad for generations to come, this is of course based upon the assumption we will learn from all of this) so message contained within these e-mails have very tempting messages to the person looking for instant gratification or looking for quick solution to their financial problems. Also the silver bullet hunters, individuals that have aspirations in becoming the next Donald Trump through the Internet over night. I mean, to be honest, it is only human nature to seek the easiest track or road to travel the path of least resistance. As I write this, I’m questioning whether there is any reality or sanity in the hope of becoming the next instant millionaire, just by using someone’s software product ‘x’?

You know, I thought about this for all of 2 ms, and I think not! This is so stupid, so why produce this misinformation?

The simple answer is, it is human nature as I’ve discussed previously, for every quick rich scheme there will always be willing buyers and that is a fact.

With greed being the root cause of all economic bubbles, I am afraid the market for these get quick schemes will not go away, because they’ve been in existence for hundreds of years from the tulip mania, the California Gold Rush, The Great Depression, The Internet Bubble to the current Credit Crunch, they all had a great rich scheme at their root, where money was being made for no or very little effort.

The all have another thing in common they all weren’t sustainable in the long-term.

The thing you need to ask yourself is whether you wish to create a business that generates $10,000 in one night and then collapses the following day or do you want to build a business that generates a $1000 dollars a week for the rest of your life?

I know which one I would go for, which business do you want to create?

My last point is this. In the California Gold Rush, the only truly successful entrepreneurs, you know the people who really made the serious impressive amounts of money, were the ones who provided the tools to the gold prospectors. Quite a sobering thought but true, so when you see all these great get rich quick software tools you have to think to yourself whether this a new concept, because it is  being offered on the Internet?
