From one of the photos – do you actually have two laptops with you ?
Are they for different websites or what ?
Interesting. I always thought that one should be enough!

Jenny – Yes, I noticed that some of the Blog Mastermind students were noticing jumps in PageRank. I’d say that for many of you it’s the first time you had PageRank and the last update, while punishing some bloggers for selling links (like me), also helped others to get their first PR.

Hi Yaro

There is nothing better than getting away – and even better when Byron is so close. You have to feel sorry for everyone else who doesn’t get to have this luxury.

You are absolutely right about enjoying what you do so that it doesn’t feel like work, even when you have to do it on holidays. I think that if people do find this hard work then they are better off looking elsewhere.

Cheers

Traveling and blogging, that has been my life for most of 2007. Most places have free wifi now and even some cheap backpacker places. It is not so difficult I think to maintain your sites on the road. If it is too hard, I think you need to change your business strategy.

Very nice view on that photo… We all dream about traveling all over the world.

Exercise… lol. I need to learn how to rollerblade.

Welcome back Yaro,

Isn’t Byron a fun little spot? I love the hippie atmosphere as it brings good food and good coffee.

It is interesting to see your little excersise in terms of blogging. When I was in MLM I traveled the world going from one convention to the next and once when on holidays for a full month in Florida I had to spend 2 hours every night tracking orders, emails and what not else.

This can be quite disturbing for those who travel with you and it takes a bit of discipline and preparation in the mind.

I can easily see that being a blogger won’t be much different either. I’m dreaming of traveling around OZ again with a campervan and a great Internet connection which will allow me to keep working and enjoying time off too.

@Caroline How come you turned off your comments? I wanted to discuss your recent post about Twitter. It seems like a total waste of time. I’ve used it, but get nothing from it.

Years ago I used to run a mail order company all by myself and that was a nightmare because orders came in through the post and had to be processed manually. This was before the days of the internet. I just couldn’t take a holiday back then without simply stopping service on the business which was a no-no.

Nowadays with online businesses and worldwide (almost) Internet access I think it’s great. I can’t afford a holiay yet but when I can I’ll certainly enjoy it knowing that I can still do some work on the side.
