I was checking my web tracker logs and saw a few hits from this page. It looks like I’m nominated on this German website in the category “Most Valuable Business Website”. Although I’ve never heard of this website createordie.de before it’s an honor to be nominated :) I’m there along with some very popular websites.

Goodie Bag TV – Americans Love Lists

When you want to grow in your business there is only so much you can do on your own. That’s why you might want to reach out to others and see if they can help you – or better yet, if you can help each other. You could consider outsourcing, hiring staff or doing joint [...]

OK, I’m not going to post about how sorry I am that I haven’t posted on this blog recently, that I’ve been so busy, the days have just flown by and… oh, wait, I just did ;) Oh, well…
I just checked my RSS stats on the FeedBurner widget and it looks like I have 50 [...]

I don’t know if I heard it first from the Nitro guys (Matt Gill and Kevin Wilke), Mark Joyner or some other internet marketing / personal development teacher. But I think it’s great advice and I’ve been following this advice the best I can.
Well, the trick is to celebrate every little victory – no matter [...]
