18 Aug 2010I take around four to six eggs and crack them into a bowl. Next, I add a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dash of salt, and one cup of milk. Then I add my secret ingredient that is one, or sometimes two, fresh vanilla beans. I split the vanilla bean down the middle, and scrape out [...]
Maybe I’m being a bit naive. After all, I’m only 29 years old. However, I’m a firm believer that there’s a difference between “taking action” and “real action.” People will spend months reading, writing, preparing, assembling, designing, planning, tweaking, changing, editing, fixing, upgrading, testing, prototyping, meeting etc etc. We often hear that the key to [...]

13 May 2010I got to thinking about this post, as I was fly fishing north of Toronto a few weeks ago. I was drudging through muddy waters trying to make my way upstream. It was a constant battle to keep moving forward. Have you ever actually sat down and thought about what your life will look like five [...]

28 Apr 2010Back in December, my wife and I made a decision to turn our TV off and stop watching it. We went cold-turkey. When making this decision, we also agreed upon a few guidelines.

One of my goals in 2010 is to read a lot more. I bought so many books in 2009 and I bet I only read about 20% of them. If you have seen my last post, you’ll know that I recently read the expanded and updated version of “The 4-Hour Work Week.” by Tim Ferriss. [...]
Part 2 – Outsourcing Saved Me $8040 In One Day Yesterday I mentioned how I was beginning a small experiment on outsourcing. As I had said in my first post, I’ve been outsourcing a large majority of my work for years but I’ve been doing it privately through sites like Rentacoder.com and elance.com After reading [...]
Last week while on a vacation I got a chance to read “The 4 Hour Work Week.” I’d been hearing so much about this book that when I saw it in Bancroft, Ontario (of all places) I picked it up. I got back to the cottage and dove right into it. I immediately became a [...]
About a week ago, on a forum I regularly visit and participate at, one post last week really just rubbed me the wrong way. I won’t get back into who or what was said but it essentially made the point that what mattered was not, who was on the other end of the computer, but [...]

30 May 2006I wanted to share a few new possible revenue streams I’ve created for myself. They may never bring any income, or they may turn out to be new sources of income! Either way, I’m doing them and excited about them. You may find these to be opportunities for yourself to explore and I recommend you [...]
