If you've ever listened to any of Jay Abraham's material you could be forgiven for thinking you know all about Joint Ventures (JVs).  Either that or you're in that group of people that don't know anything about JVs.  Whichever group you are in learning more about 'The Art of Joint Ventures' could dramatically improve your earning ability.  Let's start by defining a JV, so we're sure to be talking

What happened to my retweet?  I was just checking out a new person on Twitter and he had something good for retweeting, and what?  No retweet!  How could they do this...  I know it was a beta, and that it was just a trial, but it was so good how could they possibly go back to the old ways.  I was forced to copy the post, click on the home button, type RT and @ then paste the tweet... OMG what a

Ivan Lendl was the world's number #1 ranked tennis player during the 1980s around the time of John McEnroe.  Was he the most talented individual of his day?  No, but it was his work ethic, his dedication and his routines and rituals that made all the difference. He was renowned for his adherence to strict diet and exercise schedules precisely timed and thoroughly rehearsed in every facet.  His

You've probably heard of the 80-20 rule.  What you may not know is that it is actually a scientific fact that is part of University statistics courses and was discovered by a guy called Pareto in the seventeenth century. I was thinking about how to divide up some data and realized that dividing by five would give me the essence of the Pareto principle.  There would be five parts, each twenty

Making money online is something many of us have thought about at some time or another.  There are so many programs and advertisements around that it is hard to know where to start.  Internet Marketing Seminars is a website I have created to help you figure out who you should trust. I won't claim to know how to make money online but one thing I do know, is how to establish the credibility of a

I have recently returned to Auckland NZ from a trip to Sydney Australia to interview successful businessman Ken Wood. A serial entrepreneur Ken was raised by an entrepreneurial factory and has been encouraged to start businesses in many senses. A great follower of Tony Robbins, Ken was able to meet his future wife Karen in the personal development arena. Together Karen and Ken own the

This morning I did something a bit different from my usual routine and went to the local pool and hung out in the spa and sauna. In the spa I got chatting with an elderly gentleman who had some interesting experiences and it got me thinking. Then the other two ladies in the spa started talking about child rearing and Peter, the elderly gentleman interjected with his opinion. Not usually one to

I have spent the day at the World Internet Summit in Auckland NZ. It is a forum for speakers to promote their wares while also providing some information for beginner and experienced Internet business owners and marketers alike. Today one of my favourite speakers was a guy by the name of Shaune Clarke. Shaune Clarke had appealed to me earlier in the day when he had made it clear he was an

It has been an intense week. I left Auckland for Australia's Gold Coast on Sunday night. Since that time I have been inundated with work from my ongoing contract with Scriptfert Australia and the other projects I am currently working on for adult education (which isn't up yet otherwise I'd link to it). Nevertheless I've managed to get in nine holes of golf on Monday and eighteen this

Twitter is addictive, full stop. And if you don't believe me just try it for yourself. I have been a twit for two weeks now and I find myself logging in everyday amazed at all my new followers. For sure it took some work to get a bit of a following at first. I had to follow just about everyone I could find including anyone with the unfortunate coincidence of having the same surname as me, but

You probably couldn't care less that I really like the fact that here in Blogger I can easily add AdSense to my blog, but it is really easy to do. I've removed it just now, because I think I'd rather have people reading my blog because it was interesting than worry about whether I can make ten cents by having a click through from you, and I personally don't like advertising. I have an intense

I've been thinking about thinking... Why is it that when we think we tend to think in words? Have you ever noticed that? What about when we have thoughts that aren't conscious, are they in words too? What about musical thoughts... haven't you had tunes pop in to your head?
