People drive me CRAZY at times! You might relate to this,Reader... Yesterday we were sitting in my sister's living-room, sipping a nice cup of afternoon tea... Kids were playing in the background, having a good time... It was gloomy outside, and lovely and cozy inside... All good so far, right? And then, out of the blue, my sister gets on the war path! "So how's your online 'stuff' going?" she asks, her voice loaded with skepticism as she says "STUFF" (notice how she never calls it "work" or...

There's nothing more discouraging than to compare yourself to others who are way ahead of you. I know this - and yet I fall into this trap more often than I care to admit. The other day, I wrote to you about how exciting it is to build a new business... But that's only half the story. It's exciting, for sure. But it's also hard. If you're having a bad day, I'm right there with you Reader. This morning I found myself staring at my YouTube stats for my easy and gluten free channel... ... the...

Nearly 7pm here in my part of the world... And I'm in trouble, Reader... Pizza's in the oven. We eat in 10 minutes. And I haven't written my email to you yet! I broke my own rule this morning and got distracted instead of doing the important tasks first. So now I'm running late, tired, uninspired, and not proud of myself at all. But there's an important lesson here, that should help you. It's a simple trick I can share, that will make you fiercely productive and help you move forward faster....

If there's one thing I've had to learn on my online journey it's this: You need to get comfortable with blowing your own trumpet... Those who make it are the ones who can show proof of their results. Not just money results (at first, you don't have those). But results, any results, any proof that you are indeed who you say you are and do what you say you do. There are so many lies out there that it's very hard to know who to trust. So if you don't show as much proof as possible, it's really...

Building a business is exciting! I got a reminder of this just now when my son texted me: "I'm doing some exciting stuff can't wait to tell you about it" he says... His excitement is coming right through the WhatsApp waves, isn't it? And you know what? I get it, because I'm all hyped up too right now! A few weeks ago I decided to go all in with my passion business, Easy and Gluten Free (read this email if you want to know more about that)... And I'm rediscovering how truly great it feels to...

"I don't have any money to invest" - wrote one of my subscribers in reply to my last email. And this person is not alone! In fact, so many people are in that situation that I thought I'd make this the topic of today's email. The "no-money problem" is a real catch 22 situation, isn't it? You need to make extra money - so you turn to online side hustles... but to learn how to make the money, you have to invest money... that you don't have! So what do you do, Reader? I don't have a magic...

24 hours into my new plan of emailing you daily and I'm already doubting and second-guessing my decision. Do you do that too, Reader? You know: one minute you have this great idea and you're certain it's the right thing to do... ...and the next you're plagued by doubts that tell you it's in fact a very, very BAD idea... I drive myself crazy! You know what scares me here? It's the thought these emails might annoy you. Or worse still, bore you. I'm sitting here at my desk in the living room...

"Email them! Email them every day!", my mentor Dean told me yesterday, on my monthly coaching call. By "them" he meant you, Reader, and all the other 4000 or so people who've joined my email list. And you know what... He's right, isn't he? I mean - what's the point in having a list of people to email if I don't email them? It's a bit like having a beautiful dress and never wearing it! So I'm going to be emailing you more, my friend (and if that's a problem, please hit the unsubscribe button...

$2748... ...that's how much Netflix got from our household alone over the past ten years... (and if you're wondering what this has to do with you making money online, click here to find out) Now let's do some fun math: There are 8 million people where I live in Switzerland. Let's say just 5% have a Netflix subscription - that's 400'000 households paying $274.80 a year... which totals a whooping one hundred nine million nine hundred twenty thousand for Netflix... My dyscalculic brain can't...
