Home Business Blog

Hello,

It has been QUITE SOME TIME since I have updated here, yes? Lot’s has happened, let me enlighten you.

If you read the “About Me” section of this blog, you will know that it was always my dream to make a decent income from the internet and other passive means. Only my dream was different, it was to leave the rat race behind and go venture the world, experiencing new things and discovering strange places.

On September 4th, 2009 I left the office for the last time, for a long time. I will not say that I will never return to an office as one day, I probably will but it will be on my own terms, doing something I love.

For now, I’ve been traveling the globe blogging and dabbling in the “Mother Market” aka stocks.

This blog went offline for awhile due to random reasons but it is back and I’m proud to report that if you do have a dream, you do hold it dear and you do work towards it, it’s possible. That said your dream should be REALISTIC to ones talents and abilities but it’s possible no less.

I’m writing to you from Singapore. I’ve been traveling since September 16th, 2009 and have been to places including but not limited to: Vancouver, Victoria, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Bangkok, Koh Tao, Koh Phi Phi, Kuala Lumpur and after this, Bali then somewhere I have yet to determine but looking like back to Bangkok to get some work done and just relax in a cheap place with a plethora of dining options.

You can do what you want, you just have to pay the price.

Stay tuned.

Setbacks are similar to pain. It often occurs as a means to inform you that something you are doing is wrong. It may be the style in which you’re doing it or the game altogether. Whenever you have setbacks that seem horrible look at them for what they really are; opportunities. An opportunity to step back and realize that something isn’t working and change is required. It could also be a sign for you to appreciate what you have as somethings can never be lost and some things can never be won. You have it or you don’t.

When a major setback comes your way you can feel sorry for yourself and prolong the pain associated with it. The best thing to do is take time to reflect on what has happened, why it happened and what you can do differently to avoid similar outcomes. Some people experience a setback and just feel sorry for themselves; becoming damaged goods. Everytime things don’t go your way just look around wherever you are and discover what you’re supposed to learn from it. The more you think about it, there is always something positive you can take from every setback; if you let yourself. The funny thing is that positive can usually ignite something much greater; if you let it.

All I can say is I got onto this plane today stressing about something. After deliberating for a while things became crystal clear. I immediately realized how what I’m worrying about simply doesn’t matter; I’m actually thankful for this chain of events. The sign couldn’t be more clear and if I had not had this setback and taken the time to ponder it… I could of lived my entire life without the wisdom I just gained.

Life is all about perspective; changing your perspective changes your world. Sometimes you need a setback to correct your thinking and see things the way they really are.This temporary setback has already triggered something greater. If it had never happened I could of gone my entire life blind with my eyes wide open.

Next time you have a setback; discover what it’s true meaning is and act accordingly.

keep working from home and keep investing in yourself,
