:-) WOW!! IT FEELS GOOD TO KNOW YOU’RE INTERESTED IN ME! :-)

…You could be anywhere in the world, but you have chosen to be here. I totally appreciate that. I’m touched!


Best friend Betty and Me

If I were a glass of beer I’d be half full ..well, that’s until someone shouted CHEERS! :o) …If I were a household object I guess I’d be an energy saving lightbulb as I’m bright, uncomplicated, dependable and useful. …If I were an animal I’d be a border collie because I’m very energetic, adventurous, loyal and I like to chase sheep all day. …If I were George Michael I’d give up falling asleep behind the wheel and get a chauffeur.

I hope you’ll find me much more intelligent than my attempts at writing wit. I have a good balance in my life between working hard at my own business and taking life easy, travelling, mixing with friends and having fun. Life is good because I choose it to be.

When I’m not with friends, caring for my disabled parent, or working hard you might be lucky to see me in my shorts at the gym or in the local pool doing the C-A-N-N-O-N-B-A-L-L. ;o)

Otherwise, I’ll be relaxing in my garden with a good book, being creative, painting a picture or planning my next business venture. Life never stays still with me and I am ambitious to always be moving forward.

I like to chill out and relax often, and work when I can. I’ve a home business online and on the phone, and I’ve friends in all countries, so I’m rarely alone. I am very health conscious, into fitness and healthy eating. I like to cook with wine and on occasions will add food! haha! I enjoy most sports, I swim regularly during the week and like to I cycle through the countryside, play tennis and badminton. I enjoy self-study, so I do like to read books that inspire and motivate to improve myself, and I love to succeed.

I do consider myself a good listener and I enjoy discussions with my friends. My friends are spread across all age groups, and that’s perhaps because I enjoy a wide variety of activities and interests.

Besides now also being a carer, my love for creativity has never stopped, I’ve privately published several ranges of art cards and Christmas cards, created my Olliebear cartoon character …and remain gobsmacked that some of my abstract floral paintings ended up gracing the walls in a few Italian villas. I also used to play the classical guitar until I broke my fingers playing rugby, so I’m now very confident on the air guitar.

To the best of my knowledge I’m still very friendly and haven’t morphed into a grumpy old fart …yet!! I can type with four fingers, sadly two of them need spell check!! To the best of my knowledge I’m still very friendly and haven’t morphed into a grumpy old fart …yet!!

I guess I do a lot of reading, researching and surfing so I find I do have things in common with most people. I enjoy the company of others and welcome the opportunity to interact or share ideas.


The usual suspects!

LEARNING TO SHAKE HANDS ACROSS THE INTERNET

For the last few years I’ve been working, learning and teaching others how to create a home-based business online with affiliate products, and leveraging my income potential with networking. The Internet has turned out to be an oasis of opportunity for my friends and myself. Whether it has been to make quick emergency cash or to build a more long-term residual income. The Internet has allowed us to change our career paths and take better control of our lives at a more leisurely pace.

Life’s Bumpy Journey…
Life wasn’t always this laid back though, I used to be CEO of my own brand design agency in London for many years, creating corporate identities and branded literature systems for many household brands and multinational blue-chip clients. Saying life was hectic would be an understatement! I was good at what I did and the new business referrals never stopped, but daily deadlines, the stresses of running a service type business, dealing with the additional headaches of staff sickies, banks, and government bureaucracy eventually made the venture lose its challenge.

Slowly, the realisation set in that all I had really owned was a well paid work-a-holic job that resulted in burnout. So, I sold the business and quit London to return to the family home and spend time caring for my sick father. He was in the later stages of Alzheimer’s Disease and was no longer able to cope with the care for my disabled mother, life couldn’t get anymore more challenging!

Time And Bills Wait For No Man…
Even during the years when things were going great I started to wonder how come as I got older I was having to work harder and harder just to stand still, let alone get ahead or start to live my dreams. Even when I achieved bumper business profits it still all seemed to all go on the mortgage, car payments, bills and credit card debts.

Taking on board the care for both parents meant the future didn’t look too financially bright either. Juggling caring with business and the need to keep on top of the bills proved more of a challenge than I had anticipated, leaving nothing to save for the future.

A Strong Entrepreneural Mind Set…
Having been self-employed since my teenage years, I had developed a strong entrepreneurial mind set and knew that with the Internet I could find a better way of making money, one that would eventually lead to a more financially secure future and comfortable lifestyle.

Marketing affiliate programs enabled me to make quick emergency cash, but it was very competitive and time intensive. What worked today didn’t necessarily work tomorrow. So, I’d have to continually find new ways to achieve the same results. I needed a better way to leverage my time. After I had read a couple of books on attraction marketing and Web 2.0 trends, I decided that networking online was the way forward.

I went and searched the Internet for business opportunities that could be done online using social networking sites like Myspace, Facebook and You Tube etc. I didn’t want a business that would involve nagging friends and family, spending money on advertising, buying leads, cold calling, handing out flyers, mailing rah-rah DVD’s or any of those other ineffective old school marketing methods …which, let’s face it only ever worked for a handful of people at the top anyway.

After wading through all the obvious do nothing and ‘get rich quick’ scams I found a fantastic 90% Internet based business that was a little different. They had a product that not only had mass market appeal across all age groups, but was in one of the world’s fastest growing market sectors. A market so vast that the numbers were beyond visualisation. After checking them out thoroughly and found the product really did work, I joined for free and got my free web sites.

My Next Step Was A Simple One…
I’d always known that you can’t duplicate people, but you can easily duplicate systems that work. Let me show you exactly how I have been able to make a full-time income working from home and making money online simply by knowing how to use the latest marketing trends in Web 2.0 effectively.

I’ll share with you simple strategies that’ll show you exactly how I use web sites like Myspace, Facebook, YouTube, Hub, Squidoo, Twitter, Utterli and many others to get what every home business needs - endless free leads and massive traffic ..and all this without spending zilch on advertising or spending more than a few hours a day working. You’ll have a lot of fun, I promise!
