OK OK I’m doing a video explaining how to use the article rewriter

I got some comments and some emails telling me that I may think this little article rewriter is a great tool it could be true but
it makes no sense.

So what gives?

OK OK so I’m doing a video on it. It’s short and to the point.
I really think you’re bound to need this little gem of a tool sometime soon, and I’m glad I can provide it to you.

If you like it (or think it’s rubbish), tell me so I’ll know I need to bring you more good stuff (or stop altogether)

Here’s a nifty little free article rewriter for you

Hi. Today I just want to load you up with a free tool I use that makes your life so much easier. Today I’ll
prove to you that other than making
coffee, excel can do anything. And please don’t worry if you use open office, it works with
that also.

Some people talked to me about why I never posted it yesterday and why I needed to look for it if this is a tool I use. Well, the thing is, the original excel has the name and websites of the creator, and I wanted
to give him the recognition he deserves. So I had to find the original version. The one before
I used it and deleted and tweaked it to my liking.

It’s pretty self explanatory but if you need further assistance and guidance just say so in the comments section and I’ll be glad to help.

oooh, and the really cool thing about it is that it’s also a template for writing great articles. I told you, other than coffee, excel can do it all ;-)

So here’s your link to download this amazing little gem of a tool. No need to opt-in or anything like that. Just go in, grab it, and make sure you take action and use it:

The big move – how to do it with your mother in law, your dog, 4 kids and still stay in 1 piece

Wheew, the move is now over and done with!
What a load off. If you can imagine moving to the country with 4 little kids, a dog, my mother in law that came all the way out from overseas to be a part of the whole thing and help out – then you’ve just imagined mayhem.

Actually it wasn’t that bad. We’re still opening cardboard boxes trying to figure out where everything goes, and I was stuck without milk the other day and had no idea where the store was. But it’s not that bad.

We now live in a beautiful mediterranean style villa with a huge garden and a small orchard – grapes, lime, passion fruit, mango, rosemary and I’m sure there are others but being a city boy I have no idea what they are (I’m used to getting my fruit from the supermarket all nicely wrapped and ready to go). So the setting is perfect.

We’ve also met some of the neighbours. I don’t know about you but in the city rarely does someone greet you with cake when you move in. It certainly hasn’t happened to me. But in the country, this seems to be the norm. So in pops the first neighbour, says hi and brings us cake. Needless to say we where in shock but I don’t mind being in shock if they keep the cakes coming :)

Anyway, I haven’t been online these past couple of days as I had some trouble getting the internet setup correctly. Now that’s all over and done with and I am ready to rock!

All in all, I’m glad we moved. This is a new beginning for all of us.

So with everything setup, the internet working and me sipping coffee in the morning trying to figure out if I know any of these other trees in the orchard, I’ll say bye for now.

I’m off finding you a piece of software I use and I believe will help you a great deal. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but with the move I never got to it. Now that everything is getting back to normal, I’ll do this first. It’s a free article spinner I use, which is superb. So once I find it and put in on the website for you to download, I’ll be posting the link here. It’ll probably be here by tomorrow or so.

I was thinking of giving this to you as it’s an essential tool and I love free stuff that works well. I think it will come in handy for you.
As for tools of the trade so to speak, comment below and tell me If there are any other tools, templates, tutorials and such that you want. I most probably have some of them or know someone who does. So tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll do my best to hand it over.

Here’s to new beginnings

Personal – How I Decided to Move Everything…

Sometimes you stop, take a look at your life and reassess.
Supposedly everyone makes New Years resolutions but how many loose sight of those resolutions in less than a week? How many actually go through with those resolutions and change something about their life?

Hardly anyone.

The worst thing that can happen in your life is mindless drifting. Most people go through life just like that.
Drifting mindlessly.
Life’s directions and key decisions are all fuzzy – they don’t really remember how they got to where they are, it was never intentional and never planned. Career, marriage, kids, location… these are all ‘things that just happened’.

I’m painting a very black or white picture here. Of course real life has loads of different shades of grey because hey, let’s face it, nothing is that clear cut or simple. But this is mostly what’s happening with people.

I think Lewis Carol said it best in ‘Alice in Wonderland’. If you remember, at some point Alice comes to a fork in the road and asks the chesear cat which road she should take (you remember the cat right?! The one that can vanish and only leaves his smile showing):


- Well, asked the cat, where do you want to go?
- I don’t really know, answered Alice
- If that’s true, it doesn’t really matter which you road you take then, does it?

For me, that little tidbit of wisdom comes to mind too many times when I talk to people. Most don’t have goals. Most have forgotten their dreams, their desires, what it is they really care about.
And that’s a shame because even though we can’t really plan everything, without a goal there is no way you’ll ever come near it. Or surpass it.

If you’re drifting through life mindlessly you’ll never achieve anything.

I know that there’s some sort of peace of mind with no goal setting. God knows I’ve been drifting for years. But my near death dealings with the tsunami (look at my previous video to understand what I’m talking about) and the birth of my children have changed all that. I want to give my children the gift of real life education. I want to be a role model for them in action not only in words so they’ll know from an early age things like the law of attraction, how our mindset can make you wildly successful, how to plan…
It’s in imitation that we learn the best, so when I want to educate my children (as well as my students) I want to DO a lot more DOING.

Part of that is actually making choices about the direction your life is heading.

So lately with my eldest going into 1st grade I took a step back and asked myself where do I want to live? And the answer for me was not in the city (even though I have an unbelievable view of the sea from my balcony) but out in the country. Right now for me that’s the answer.
So I planned it and I’m actually moving this week. It’s a huge change and I’m a bit nervous to tell you the truth, but I’m doing it. I’m moving forward.

Wish me luck and I’ll post later on about life in the country :)

When was the last time you stopped and reassessed where you want to go in life? Do you want to but are lacking the tools to do so? Do you even agree with me that most people drift mindlessly? Comment below

The ’secret’ that anyone successful has, and everyone that’s failing online doesn’t

I stumbled on this and this thing is HUGE!
I found out that anyone that is a success has this ’secret’, and all of those that aren’t do not. Can you imagine?! It’s like the secret ingredient (that’s not so secret really) but once you have it you can propel yourself to success.

Anyway, you’ll understand once you see this video

On a side note, we’re planning on moving from our beautiful roof overlooking the beach, smack in the middle of downtown, out into the country. This all happens in a week and even though this is something that I initiated , I’m still nervous about it.
It’s going to get interesting and I’ll talk about it in my next posts – why do it at all and why now. I think it will make for a great discussion that’s also relevant to you.

Getting back to this post, what do you think about the ’secret’ on this video?
