I’m writing this from Manhattan New York, and it is an AMAZING place. I’ve been once before, but this time I’m in control of my trip (not a tag along for a two-family trip), plus I’m in a slightly better financial situation, so it’s like I’m a kid in a candy store who just got his allowance.

By 19 Comments August 23, 2008
Last night was the Toronto bloggers and blog readers meet-up organized between myself and John Chow.

The Day I Knew I Could Launch A Membership Site
By 20 Comments August 20, 2008
Like most people before gaining experience I have fear about my capabilities. As you grow you become more confident and thankfully confidence transfers across a whole range of activities in your life. Unfortunately the opposite is true too – if you don’t feel confident in general, then you don’t feel confident doing anything new to you.
It’s a lot … Read the rest of this entry »
