Working Nomad

I have just released a new site with friend of mine that is Hotels in Port Vila (capital of Vanuatu)! She did much of the donkey work looking for the domain name and I put the website together pretty quickly and will further promote and market it.

Working this way has given me a real boost and I feel much more motivated to make this work than when I just create stuff on my own. The overspill is that I am motivated to get other sites updated too!

So this is an open invitation to anyone with any ideas for websites or making money online. The Internet is still new and there are lots of areas to exploit. It is a bit like digging for gold but if you find a nugget then it can turn out to be a very nice passive income.

You can contact me via this site, twitter, facebook or whatever. I am always willing to hear out ideas and work on them and I can bring a lot to the table.

You do not have to be someone I know or that lives nearby. I am willing to work with anyone anywhere providing they can demonstrate commitment to the idea.

I am always interested in buying domain names too so if anyone fancies investing with me in the new hot real estate of domain names then let me know!

Tulum Ruins, Mexico

Well it’s now been four long years to the week since I last worked in a proper office, surrounded by proper people and doing proper work. Well that’s not entirely fair, I do work with people these days and I do consider my work to be kind of proper. What has changed is the way I look at weekends.

I can remember the time when Monday morning was something that filled me with dread, along with the thought that I still had five more days before the weekend. The one job I did when I occasionally had to work weekends is something I now consider as equally bad as having worked in Victorian Mills during the 19th century.

I have to admit that I valued my weekends a little more than I do now and as a result I don’t think I always make the most of my Saturday and Sunday. In fact it’s not uncommon for me to end up with a weekend where work and play just seems to merge into one. That could also be true of the weekdays themselves!

So what I am trying to do now is recapture my weekends and make them special again, and that means avoiding keyboards and world wide webs. This way I can focus more during the week on work.

I recently had a short trip to Mexico which was very enjoyable despite the fact my Spanish, or lack of it, made it a little frustrating at times, however it has made me further determined to learn more Spanish and a winter break destination will most likely be to a Spanish speaking region.

I have invited people from the forum to write blog so you may see unfamiliar posts now and again but they should help revitalize the site and I thank the new contributors.
