Friday morning I just finished my fix of coffee,
I was just getting excited thinking about the day ahead
including completing my main task before lunch time,
Giving me the opportunity to hit the gym that afternoon
and then go out with some friends later on in the night,
Things were looking good – but it was all to change …
The post man arrived with a few different affiliate commission checks
The first thing that come to my mind was Cha Ching …$$$…
… The first things that come out of Katie’s mouth was:
“Al, I needed to go to the bank anyway, why don’t you take me ?”
That’s all I needed to hear, – ( I knew it was the end of my productive morning )
Ok … it’s not that bad of a distraction, having go deposit some checks to the bank.
but I knew once Katie had my attention, I could kiss good by to my day plans.
And as I was stood in the bank queue thinking just that … Katie said,
“As we’re out let’s go and do a little shopping it won’t take us 5 minutes
and we can get the pictures developed at the same time”
Then she said …
“As we are waiting to pick up the pictures we can have some lunch too”
Then when I got back to the house – My friend phoned saying he was ready to go to the gym. No Joke…
It felt like someone was playing a trick on me, – I swear,
… By the time I got back from the gym, and eat my dinner it was 5pm
and I was meeting up with my friends at 7pm.
Let me just say this before I make a rant…
… It was a great Friday TRUST ME, Kinda relaxing, whilst still
going through a stage of withdrawal symptoms from email 
Start of Rant:
Bloody distraction …
… All Friday night all I could think about was how one small
distraction causes a day full of them … and only If can
get myself some work space with no distractions,
Rant to the Gurus …
… These Guru’s sold us the dream of working from the comfort of our own home,
They forgot to tell us it becomes too comfortable to work from home.
… anyway Rant over (almost)
Still out Friday night, I thought to myself, I’ll get up early in the morning
And put a couple of hours in to finish that task off Saturday morning,
… Then it happened Katie woke me up with a cup of coffee and the mail,
I kid you not it was like ground hog day,
Another Check from click bank had arrived and as soon as Katie saw the amount,
She sent me on my travels to the bank again,
In the queue (with a huge smile on my face) I keep mumbling to myself
“ bloody distractions”
But I thought about it and said to myself
“ never mind, work can wait till Monday, I’m taking the weekend off ”
(BTW – Taking weekends off is part of my 2008 Goals
So I went home and started cutting out the pictures for our new picture colage.
That’s why we had our pictures developed on the Friday,
It was great going through all the pictures and when I had finished it looked fantastic …
Infact I enjoyed it so much the next day … I started cutting out another one for my mum
and this one was much more fun to make,
Mainly for the fact I knew once my mum saw ‘it’ would bring a smile to her face,
So I dug out all the old photos from her attic, some even dating way back to the 1950’s
of our grand parents and great grand parents, but I dare not cut any of them up.
As I started making this colage it brought up some really old memories and gave me
a great sense of who I am and the direction I want to take in my life,
Most properly the best reality check I have ever taken, (It was deep)
I spent hours that afternoon going through thousands of the pictures, cutting
around them and made this huge colage…
… When it was finished I phoned my mum up at around 10.30pm Saturday night
and asked her if she would pop in,
She thought it was very strange that I would call her at that time but never the less called straight in – really puzzled …
… She could tell from my voice that it was a nice surprise,
But when she saw it … she said o that’s nice …
… It was only when she started looking around at all the different pictures did she realized it was for her …
… then she jump up laughing and screaming in joy (no joke)
It’s most properly the best present I have ever given her,
And we all sat there laughing at all our old photos for hours talking about
all the diffrent memories from within all the different pictures …
And as well as that …
I think it was one of the best laughs we have ever had looking at all our silly hair do’s we had in the 80 & 90 … haha.
Listen ….
if you have never done one of these before they’re great fun to make
and they take your mind off work … plus they are the perfect gift for loved ones.
Memories huh …
They happen so fast,
So make sure you create a great future so you can always look back and smile

The second video in the
“Work Less Make More Money” Video Series
is ready for viewing below …
… But before you watch the video,
I want to Quote a comment
I received on the blog yesterday,
********************************************
Quote:
“Forget a million dollars a year?
You must not be thinking big enough my friend.
Think big and recieve.”
********************************************
Side Note: Thank you for posting your comments I really enjoy reading them.
Ok I want to quickly give my 0.2cents
on the Quote above …
Now this gentleman is correct
in his thinking -
You should always think BIG,
Its ok to start small and think BIG,
But …
What are the chances of us making a
Million dollars this year if we haven’t
made any where near that amount before?
So I ask for you to please …
… be realistic in your planning
as the whole reason we’re doing this is
to complete what we plan too,
And that helps us become successful and feel a success
to move onto BIGGER and GREATER things in life …
What I recommend you should do is …
If you’ve never made any money online before
pick a more realistic goal than a million
dollars this year,
Maybe it could be a new car, or a dream vacation
or even it could be the gas bill ok maybe
not the gas bill, but even a few hundreds
bucks a month …
what ever it is
MAKE SURE YOU ACHIEVE IT OK.
With that said are you ready to take action ?
Infact I mean take MASSIVE action ?
I hope you are … so get ready to design your better lifestyle.
… They say it’s all about the journey,
not the destination.
Enjoy the video
You can download the PDF worksheets

And with that said …
I really enjoy reading your feedback

On our arrival home from vacation I opened my front door
to a greeting from a large amount of mail sitting on my door mat.
After I put the coffee on, I started to open this mail,
where I come across a package called Moonlighting on the Internet – written by Yanik Silver
Now if you don’t know who Yanik is,
I can tell you he’s one of the most respected online Internet Marketers ever,
anyway …
This book was sent to me with a personal note inside from Yanik letting me know
I had a mention in the book about my success online,
Give me 2 seconds …
Could you imagine the smile on my face when I read this note ?
I have never ever met or spoke with Yanik before.
And as I read thought the book I loved reading the section written about myself
That was sooooooo cool
But as I was reading I come across many great tips and advise, which I think makes the book
a great resource for anyone starting out an online business.
It includes 26 chapters:
0. Introduction
1. Creating “Digitally Delivered Information Products”
2. What is information marketing?
3. Top 7 information topics
4. How to figure out what information to sell
5. Researching the online marketplace
6. Evaluating your “brilliant” idea
7. Creating your information product
8. Licensing
9. Joint ventures
10. Public domain
11. Getting your site’s foundation built
12. Creating your hot offer
13. Setting up your site
14. Headlines that sell
15. The eBay Machine
16. Finding the right products and setting up business
17. The `flood”
18. Your listing
19. What makes a successful seller?
20. The world of affiliate programs
21. Finding an affiliate program and working it
22. The Yahoo! Stores phenomenon
23. Establishing your niche
24. Why blogging?
25. How to set up a blog
26. Making money with blogs
26a. Conclusion
So If you’re new to online marketing and your feeling over whelmed
I think this book would be a great place for you to start.
You can pick up a copy of “moonlighting on the internet” from Amazon.com for as cheap as $20.
I’d love to hear your comments about this post

… HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
There you go,
now with thats said,
I have something very special I want to share with you,
infact it’s been life changing for me, so make sure to
read all of this.
before I start …
Please bare with me as Im typing off a thai keyboard
and there is alot going on around me,
(many people talking in many different launages)
Plus each time I look outside the internet cafe door
I see something that just amazes me,
Thailand Rocks
Anyway,
I really do have something very special I want to share with you,
that could change your life for ever,
So lets get started …
I’ve been told by many online marketers that January is the best time
to make money from your mailing list online.
And Im sure if you’re on other marketers mailing lists, you will see them
hammer there lists with promotions selling selling selling ,
So here’s my plan …
… I want to give you BETTER information for FREE,
than the information others are trying to sell to you,
Sound good?
if so lets continue …
I’ve spent the past two weeks relaxing on vacation
in the wonderful resort of Phuket Thailand.
Which has given me plenty of time to reflect on my life
and what I want to accheve this year and beyond.
Before I came on this vacation my goal for 2008
was to make $250,000 this year online.
its not a bad goal huh, and its double what I made in 2007.
BUT !!! <<< and a BIG but,
Ive been reading the book
“The Four Hour Work Week”
Here is the life changing disision for you ok
if you are serious about making money online
I recommend you invest $20 and buy the book
The Four Hour Work Week from Amazon.com
Its great for new comers (newbies) and experienced marketers too,
many people have told me in the past,
“The right book will fall into your hands at the right time”
And its seems that saying has come up trumps again,
After reading this book it has totally changed my life,
Yes its a life changing book, (and for the better)
it has even inspired me to write a book that Im going to start working on shortly,
(the name is secret for now)
but I’ll make sure to give you a copy at no charge, (so keep an eye out)
at the moment I have to hold back on that book as Ive already started
working on my next book called,
“Post Launch Porfits secrets”
As well as working on that book I have mapped out my goals for 2008
to make sure I make an impact on your life as well as many others.
Which will help me go onto write the book Im most looking forward to writing,
Post Launch Profits “Post Launch”
Its going to blow you away …
as I see this being ten times more educational than Post Launch Profits ever was,
and again,
There will be no charge for you,
infact as Im typing this I can feel the hairs on my neck stand up
as I know I can help many people succeed online,
but only if YOU want to help yourself,
On my return home I will make sure to give you further details
on what I have planned for you,
but for the moment Im holding myself accountable to YOU !!!
so here goes …
… my new year resolution is to :-
WORK LESS AND MAKE MORE MONEY.
and my GOAL is to:-
TEACH YOU HOW TO DO THE SAME.
Deal ?
now to start this process I need you to hold yourself accountable to me.
Are you ready to start?
If you are ready to start the journey to internet riches with me,
You can start by posting a comment below with your new years resolution
and what you want to accheve this year.
you can even let me know what you want me to help you with
