Talking all things motivational, entrepreneurial, blogging & travel. Pretty much anything other than "How to Make Money Online"! (Because when I blogged MMO I felt like a clone of the other 12 million people doing it)

58 Motivational Songs to Keep You Going

30 June, 2008 - Motivation, Motivational Media - 11 Comments

I’ve compiled this list, of what appears to be the largest list of its kind anywhere on the Internet, from my own personal collection of songs and also that of other song lists around the Internet. I’ve tested each and every song for motivational-itus (a word), and as such all 58 have my personal “Get off ya ass and be amazing” approval. They will inspire, motivate and ass kick like no other playlist. Guaranteed.

If any of these videos get removed, as YouTube videos often do, please contact me so I can fix them. I don’t bite. Promise.

Sunday is here and that means it’s time to share the lurrrrve. Here are some of my favourite articles from this week in the blogosphere.

Where Happiness Lives
My favourite self-help guru, Craig Harper, spoke about giving versus getting and which one of those happiness really lives in. In his usual witty tone, Craig entertains, enlightens and provokes thought.

Social Networking: Do You Need a Memory Upgrad . . . ?
Liz Strauss shares her methods for upgrading your memory. I’ve never had a great memory, but the methods talked about in Liz’s post and the comments are very useful.

Week 24 Round-Up & Comment Awards

28 June, 2008 - Misc - 4 Comments

Saturday is here once again and that means it’s time for a recap of the week on this blog.

Notable Points of the Week

New Blog Design - What? Another? This blog has gone through quite the transition in recent times. I got rid of the notion of wanting to make money from blogging, and my blog design had to reflect this. I’m pleased to say the entire design work is from my own hands, as opposed to using a template. So far, the response has been very positive. If you haven’t seen it yet, please click through from your RSS reader and take a look. If you have a few minutes spare, please post your feedback in the comments.

Why Doesn’t My Google Analytics Link Tracking Work?

27 June, 2008 - Web Design - 2 Comments

When I redesigned this blog earlier this year, I setup Google Analytics link tracking on many of my outbound links. Link tracking with Analytics has many uses, with the main one allowing you to see how many times a link to an outbound site, such as your RSS subscription link, has been clicked.

Unfortunately, the tracking didn’t work.

I never really took the time to figure out what the problem was. I assumed it was a WordPress plugin conflicting with the Google Analytics code. I left it at that, until this week when I redesigned my blog again.

The Millionaire Homeless Guy

26 June, 2008 - Motivation - 11 Comments

Photo by Jim Fischer

We all have our image of the homeless. Bums. Lazy. Dirty. Smelly.

But not if you’re John of the Headrow.

John is homeless. He stands on the corner of The Headrow and Park Row in Leeds. He makes his money from selling the Big Issue magazine - Just like most homeless people in the UK. But John is different. Different than other homeless people. And different from homed people. He’s different, because John is the only person I see each day who asks me how I’m doing.

Too Busy to Stop
