The Adventures Of A Solopreneur

Ever wondered what some unskilled untalented, unimpressive, non charismatic anonymous nobody do to make money online?

Follow My Progress Here!

I post my thoughts in this blog every weekday and at least once over the weekends and every Friday I post a Friday Progress post which details where I think I have progressed over the last week. Enjoy!

The End is near

As you may have noticed, my posts are no longer as frequent as they should be.

This is because I am dedicating time to other projects, and something has to give.

The thing is, I have discovered that writing on a particular subject, or even the simple act of making a specific commitment to write in this blog every day has focussed my mind on this as well as other issues.

However, this blog seems to have served it's purpose.

But I am not abandoning it until I have figured out what daily commitments I will replace it with.

I am happy to say I have 3 websites to write for already, in addition to my other commitments. That leaves pertty much only one day free as Fridays and the weekend is already taken up with other writing nad family engagements.

So there.

On a different note, scientists with too much time on their hand had calculated that today is the most depressing day of hte year. mainly because people have too much debt and have given up on most of their new years resolutions already

me? I haven't even had time to formulate them properly yet! Well, that's not entirely true. I've written down the goals, and I am taking action to complete them. But it's forever a work in progress.

Don't like the goal you've set yourself for this new year?

Then replace it with another one!

the trick is to have at least THREE on the go at any one time! Get bored with one, do one of the other two - and if it gets you down thinking about it, replace it with another one that is more inspiring!

Cheers,
Jon

Weight WAtchers, Atkins Diet and the effects of local gravity anomalies

The battle of the bulging waste line is not going well in the solopreneur house hold and it is time to try those diets. Atkinsons, Mr Weigh-a-little - the miracle diet doctor who allegedly died of a heart attack while clinically obese. Sounds right up my street. Or Weight Watchers. I can eat what I want & count points.

Although I will need to remind myself that the object of the weight watchers game is NOT to get as many points as POSSIBLE in a day.

After A very expansive Christmas I went to America for a week.

The land of the large dinner plates and huge servings! I've never eaten so much fruit in my life in a week just to try to fill up on something before trying to eat a whole cow with a burger bun strapped around its waist. ( I exaggerate a little )

My chocolate addiction, which was under control until the 23rd of December has also spiralled out of control to the point where I wake up at night screaming for M&M's

Or being chased by miniature Hershey Milk Chocolate bars - Officially the sickest chocolate in the world. If you haven't thrown up BEFORE eating them, someone will think you HAVE after eating one. Yuk. I do NOT exaggerate on this one. The Cow was a little over the top, but I can confirm that Hersheys Milk Chocolate bars taste like Sick!

Although this thought may temporarily halt my chocolate addiction it is no match for the local gravity anomalies I am experiencing in my house.

I need to confirm this with a barometer when it arrives in the post in the next few days, but the preliminary findings are as follows:

Bathroom: tile just inside the door: 259lb or 116kg
Office: One foot inside the door on wooden floor boards: 258lb or 115.5 kg
Landing: two feet stright outside the bathroom door, on short carpet: 265lb or 119kg

This leads me to believe that there are gravity anomalies in that area.
I have also tested the anti directional gravity by JUMPING in the same spots showing that I am indeed able to jump the highest when standing in the office.

I will find out what is going on.

My wife says I need to get a new bathroom scale and then get a life, but what does she know!
