Nigerian scammers

2 comments January 14th, 2006

I had someone contact me on Yahoo messenger last week. She was an attractive woman from Nigeria who told me she was coming to New Zealand to start up an import/export business in Palmerston North, and she wanted to get to know a few New Zealanders before she came over. Fair enough, I thought, but the first thing I told her was that I wasn’t single and wasn’t looking. She said that’s ok, and asked if we can still be friends. Sure, I said.

We talked briefly once more since then, and then again today. I asked when she was coming to NZ. She said she’s having a problem with her Visa. Immediately, this little non-naive person (me!) knew what the story was.

Defining my future

3 comments January 14th, 2006

I’ve been researching and studying a particular topic the past week or so. I’ve researched and studied so much, my head hurts. What am I studying?

Being successful with my own business on the internet.

2006 is the year of change for me, moving forward into personal and financial success. I’m focused and determined to succeed. There aren’t any other options. I’m almost 40, with few assets and high hopes for the future. The only way to make those hopes a reality is to actually do something about them.

Why Firefox?

I wrote about Performancing for Firefox over here, but I didn’t really go into any great detail, which I’ll attempt to amend here and now.

Firefox

I’ve been using this web browser for probably close to a year now. You can get Firefox yourself. I highly recommend it.

Firefox protects you from viruses, spyware and pop-ups. Enjoy improvements to performance, ease of use and privacy. It’s easy to import your favorites and settings and get started.

Your blog posts are working for you

Add comment January 14th, 2006

There’s a good analogy mentioned over here about Investment Blogging.

Each post is like an individual working your workforce. Some posts might work harder than others. Some attract more attention than others. Each earns you a little revenue; together they are your means of gaining income

I really like the idea that your posts are your workers, working for you. The more ‘workers’ you have, the better your ‘business’ is going to be. Quality workers will give you a quality return on your investment, and the more quality workers you have in your business, the more they will do for you.
