Here I am again

Hi there. I have been a way for a while from my blog. I went to Beijing for all of August and before that I was working on a project that was related to the Olympics. I was trying to cash in on my time in Beijing however not being able to access all of my sites while I was over there threw a spanner in the works.

This site was one that I could not access. I put it down to the host I am using. All of the sites hosted by the company I use for this site could not be accessed while another set of sites were fine. As I have shared hosting I assume there is something on some site that shares my host that has offended the Chinese.

Going to Beijing was great, although I really must learn Chinese to add to the experience. As I could not speak the local language I could not get a good grip on just how the Chinese were getting into the Olympic experience. Compared with the Sydney Olympics it seemed the grumpy Olympics. The security was over the top and also the language barrier did not help.

I can’t say the Chinese are not friendly or fun loving people, it was just the organisers took security a bit too seriously.

Now that I am back at home base I have been thinking what do I want to focus on nowadays. When I went away to Beijing I was planning on getting stuck into learning Camtasia and video editing in general. The Olympics got in the way of that as I spent time watching all the exciting sporting stuff. Also getting out and seeing the city took time.

After I got back I took a few weeks off as my family and I settled back into life in Canberra. After Beijing it was so quiet here.

It now seems that the economic troubles hitting the US will come into play all around the world. It is amazing to see such huge losses take place. My father keeps telling me about the business practices that the captains of industry in the USA follow and it is no surprise that the current mess came about.

From what he says there has been too many people just doing too many things the wrong way. Speaking about that how many of you out there are trying to start a home business to earn some extra cash during the bad times or to improve your living standard? If that is you do you have a plan that shows where you are heading and steps you through each day.

I have recently come to the realization that it is a lack of a plan that has seen me go nowhere in the internet world. I am too busy being busy doing nothing constructive. I do a bit here a bit there all without a real game plan. Does that sound like you?

I am currently in the middle of a free course called 16 steps to success. It has great content and the guy teaching the course points out that the main reason for failure is not following a detailed plan as well as not doing the right market research at the start of a project. It is all good stuff so far. I have just got to get myself organised and map out my business.

It is good to be back.
