Today is a big day for young people in the UK – exam results day. A levels or advanced levels, are the exams young people take to gain a university place and today is the day they find out if they have got their place of choice.

Many who don’t get the grades they needed will find an alternative place through the university clearing system. And quite a few applicants will find new places by the end of today or tomorrow.

But there has been a 10% increase in university applications this year and this means fewer places available through clearing. Read More »

I think most people will agree, it certainly isn’t my idea of fun and so my plan is to make it easier for you, by creating software where you just have to fill in the blanks.

It’s interesting – when I graduated back in the depths of one of the past recessions, everyone said “If you are good at languages, why not learn a computer language?” Well, I don’t think anyone actually said it to me, but I know that I read it all over the place.

Personally, I can’t see the connection and I was certainly never drawn toward computer programming and I doubt if I’d have the patience for it. So, this means that when it comes to creating software, I have to rely on a programmer and so there have been delays. But I am sure it will be worth it in the end – it will be very cool.

In the meantime I’ll just stick to speaking Chinese with a Belfast accent, a very useful life skill.

I promised I’d update you on some new developments today and there are two main areas I want to talk about. One is a slight change in direction and the other is an update on products.

The change in direction isn’t really a change – I’m just putting more emphasis on it now, because of the state of the economy. My main focus is career change and for me, that has always been about job satisfaction. But it has always been clear to me that unless you have a very strong vocation, you are unlikely to get all that you want from a job in one place, that is in one job or career. Read More »

It’s been a while since I last posted, but I have been working hard in the background. . . there are some new developments coming soon. More on that tomorrow.

But today I’m going to talk a bit about free seminars, since I mentioned the Millionaire Mind Intensive in my last post.

Free seminars can and usually are, really good. You’ll get loads of good information, meet lots of new people and come away really motivated.

However, there is a big but, a very big BUT.

Part of the information you will be given is information about courses and seminars, which aren’t free. In fact, although they are usually special offers – only available during this particular seminar – they are very expensive. And if there are a lot of speakers, each will have his or her own offer – something you can’t live without, can’t get anywhere else and must buy now.

This can be very confusing and you can end up spending a lot of money on something which could be unsuitable for someone with your level of knowledge or your particular aspirations.

I would recommend that you leave your credit card at home! Most of the speakers will be back at the next big seminar and you can go off and research their programmes in the meantime to see if they are what you want.

One of the suggestions on the Millionaire Mindset Intensive was to start an internet business. There have also been a number of free seminars here (London) recently on that specific topic. I didn’t go, because I didn’t want to come away feeling I was missing out.

If you want to start an internet business, here is a much better and much more affordable option, designed for beginners. In fact, you can “try before you buy” by taking a look at this free 26 part video course, which leads you through all the steps you must take to get started online:

And in case you are wondering, if you do decide to become a member, it’s only $27 a month and that includes hosting, a squeeze page, a product to give away and another one you can sell and keep all the cash.

Come back tomorrow for more about those new developments.

If you buy through the links on this page, I will receive a commission.
