In these posts, I actually create a piece of work and make it available. It might be something for the blog or a published article. Whatever it is, I did it – I got it done – and if nothing else, that alone ought to help you convince yourself that you too can get what you want to do… done!
It’s my pleasure to announce that the second episode of The Paid to Play Podcast produced in conjunction with Brazen Careerist is live – and it’s also my pleasure to announce the all new home of The Paid to Play Podcast at paidtoplay.com.au! I’ve been meaning to sort out a separate home for the podcast… well, [...]
Blogging is about writing. Sharing your perspective on the world, your progress through it. Yet there seems to be a line between sharing your perspective and explaining it, trying to justify it. It’s this line between “here’s what I experience” and “here’s why I’m right in what I think about it.”
Had idea today. Got Vickie’s camera and tripod out at 10:30PM. Made test recording for zoom and position. Recorded four takes. Discovered camera only outputs video in .MOV format which Windows Movie Maker doesn’t edit. Bitched on Facebook, which resulted in friend suggesting Videopad. Downloaded Videopad. Edited clip and uploaded to YouTube. Result of around [...]
Facebook, if you’re subscribed to the right pages or people, can become a hall of positive thinking. It’s even better than those framed motivational posters you see on folks’ office walls.

So now we’re making sure we redress that. Here now are Episodes Fifteen [...]

The folks at Brazen and I have a lot in common. We both want to help folks get the most satisfaction out of their working lives as possible. Brazen’s team of bloggers [...]

I’ve listened to a fair few life-change and small business podcasts in the last year or so, and a lot of them talk about Financial Freedom as an aim and an achievement. It’s one thing to hear podcasters in the States talk about it, though, and another thing to meet an example of it. Michelle [...]

It’s one thing to talk about getting paid to play, and another to turn your play into something that others will want to buy. But getting the word about how great your thing is and how it will help / entertain people? That’s a whole different kind of challenge, especially when you’re just starting out and your [...]

When she appeared on the 2009 season of Australia’s The Biggest Loser, the red-haired, red-gloved, hooded Emazon cut straight into not only her trainees but also the audience, demanding nothing less than everything from the contestants in short, fierce sessions that took them so far out of their comfort zones that they could barely remember what comfort [...]
