After yesterday’s post, someone asked me if having absolute confidence in yourself can be a bad thing. Of course it can. It can be a terrible thing. 2 of my brothers and I all have similar personalities – we’re very driven and very, very competitive. One brother goes as far to describes his drive to […]

How I Learnt Tons Of Brilliant Marketing Ideas (For Free)……And You Can Too
Over the years I’ve used literally hundreds of great marketing ideas. These marketing ideas have been instrumental in helping me build my web design business to exactly where I want it.

Brilliant Marketing…..Or Crap Marketing (I Don’t Know Yet)
The Prime Minister of Australia (Kevin Rudd) now has a Twitter account. If it’s really him writing in it then it’s brilliant, savvy marketing. If it’s not him, then it’s the worst marketing in the world. On reflection, it has to be him. He can’t lie about it being him doing the writing.
Why Your Web Design Skills Don’t Matter

After their incredible decision to reject the Microsoft buyout offer, the dumb asses management at Yahoo have announced they’ll be firing 10% of their staff on the back of falling revenues. Check out CEO Jerry Yang’s email to employees here. I can’t believe Yang is still running the company.
You Can Do It…..Whatever It Is
When Jack and I told family and friends we were going to ride across Australia, quite a number were very skeptical. A few even told us outright “You can’t do it.” One even bet another mate $100 we couldn’t do it in 30 days (yes Tim, I’m talking about you!). We stopped visiting a family […]

I’ve been reading a fair bit since I’ve been back in civilisation about buying links and how Google doesn’t like it (along with many commentators).
