I realize that the following script is not going to be that useful to that many people, but if you are using iWriter to write your posts, are using BuildMyRank and also using ASP and want to import a lot of posts at the time then you may find it useful.

Not the neatest of code, but does the job and shouldn’t be hard to convert to PHP if needed.

Love to hear any comments as usual…

Would it shock you if I told you that I
am not working from the beach while I write
this?

Would it shock you even more if I were to
tell you that I get up every morning at
around 6am and after getting the kids
ready and taking them to school, I go
to an office?

As it happens, my office is above a swimming
pool and in the summer I DO have a pretty
great view, but that is about as close
I get to being by the shore on a normal day.

Call it whatever you like, but just because
we are using the internet to sell and to
market does NOT mean that you won’t have
to work just as hard.

There definitely are certain advantages as
to being your own boss and deciding when you
really want to work.

But on the whole, a business is a business
and if you don’t work hard at it, then you
will fail.

So, what are the advantages of being self
employed and working via the internet?

1. When you don’t need specific tools which
are in your office, then you really can
work from anywhere that you want to.

When I go on holiday, I take a laptop with
and work at night.

2. As you are dealing much more with non
physical commodities, it is far easier to
have employees working for you all over
the world. Not only may wages be cheaper
in other countries, but it also means that
you don’t need to supply an office for them
(large expense)

3. There is a large amount of automation. I
don’t need to have delivery of stock. I don’t
need to go to the bank. My whole ordering and
delivery process is automated so that I don’t
need to do much more than market and support
my products.

For someone just getting started, it will take
a while to gain your freedom and to start
automating your processes.

However, at least that is something to work
towards.

There are many times when I am unable to be
in the office or even near a computer for
periods of time. However, I know that 99%
of my business is being taken care of.

So, why was I thinking about all of this
today.

Gary Ambrose has just released a video
where he talks about his own personal
struggle for freedom and how it has
eventually worked for him.

Obviously, he wasn’t born successful,
but it was through his own persistence
that his work has paid off and he has
arrived where he is today.

I thought it was interesting stuff, and
if you know Gary, then you will know that
he is not scared about sharing personal
details.

There is an offer at the end. If you like
it then buy it. I have previous customers
who bought it and have given me great
feedback. It gets my recommendation. If not,
then the world will not fall apart or ugly
demons come around your house or anything
like that

So…this is what I ask of you today:

1. Go to:
http://www.shmoozewithben.com/recommends/spring
and watch the video.

2. Come back here and comment about what
Gary says. Or if you don’t get to watch
it, then let me know any business struggle
which you have had and how you overcame them.

Have had over 120 comments on my last
post. Would love to beat it here!

It took me quite a bit of experimentation to find out how to put backgrounds on my pdfs so thought that I would cut the learning curve for you in the following video. Any questions, let me know in the comments…
