Hi all, a bit of a delay since my last post. It’s recently been announced where I work that several colleagues and myself will be made redundant sometime in the first couple of months of 2009 (cue sympathetic ‘AAAHHH’). I’m trying to see this as positive as my redundancy plus some savings, should allow me to pay off my mortgage after less than 9 years. This would seriously take the pressure off how much I would need to earn in the early stages of my online career.

So I now find myself in the position where I have the best part of a year to ramp up my online activities so that I don’t have to go through the awful process of JOB applications and interviews all over again

I’m currently working on my first online product under the guidance of John Thornhill and his Personal Coaching team. This has had to be rethought in the light of the eBay ban on digital product listings. Thanks for that eBay Trust and Safety ! Anyway, it’s slowly taking shape…again…so I’ll keep you posted on how it goes, without giving too much away of course

Anyway, slightly overdue I know but here a few links to cool free info and products that I’ve come across over the last week or so
