Not Perfect at first

 All the advice is that inactivity is the killer attitude in achieving stuff. I am reminded of the saying "It does not have to be perfect at first!] 

I was reminded of this recently when I started my mentoring business by sending a email when my website is not ready yet and I did get a response and my first reaction was to tell that person I wasn't ready but I didn't even mention my unpreparedness and was able to say that I couldn't help because it would appear that they were better equipped than me BUT here are 5 contacts that might help.

Whilst not perfect at first I started the mentoring program and now will do more to move it along.

I didn't know that!

 My seond job from which I was fired! was as a trainee computer programmer for WAPET [ Western Australian Petroleum ] and I just found out that the internet was launched in 1969... so it appears I was a computer pioneer. Who knew!

IBM 32 Computer

Any way I spent two weeks putting the manual together and then the lead programmer said he wanted dividers and the job needed doing again. in my youthful assuredness I told him to stick it and he fired me. as conscription was coming I thought it was a godsend and I went to work on the pibara mines [ PortHeadland and Panawonica with Transfield as a paymaster] my savings were enough to but a block of land or the best high speed car [ Land which now would be $350,000 or a car which would be $150,000 and I just turned 20! - I bought the land for $5700 in Hilliaries]

The love of cricket!

 My first memories are of listening to the radio in the middle of the night with my father - at the cowamup bakery where he was baker, [ my grandfether started the Bakery ] and I grew to love cricket... my passion far outweighed my skill but a perfect holiday was 2 weeks off and watching test cricket for 10 of those days on th ABC [ no ads ] - perfection.

I was shattered when Smith, Warner and bancroft were CAUGHT cheating in South Africa. Heck I knew we cheated but to get caught well that rocked me to my core - I stopped watching and reading about cricket immediately. 

And I have missed it.

See the crowd

This summer both Smith and Warner have struggled.. Bancroft isn't back in the team... and the Indians have recovered from an all out for 36 to be really serving it up to the Aussies.

Yes one of the changes is that I have started watching and taking interest in cricket again... and all the old stuff is still there - Paine sledging, Smith cheating [?] bowlers sending down [ no enough apparently ] bouncers... crowds misbehaving, rain coming from nowehere to stop play... wonderful

But stuff that gets my goat:

women commentating

Ads

and

commentators getting carried away

Thw rold is back to normal [ crowds are what they used to be [small] I remember being able to sit in a corporate box at the WACA in Perth with a crowd of 50 in total [ that insludes both teams ] it was a Sheild match [ the State Competition ] and I wondered why it was so exciting on TV  [ the toilet is closer is what I worked out.]

Sharks in the river..Nooooooooooooooo

 Well it had to happen - last time was more than 80 years ago. Someone was mauled by a bull shark in the Swan River.

The Main Stream Media is forgetting about The Donald for a while and running great PANIC stories on why this will stop people swimming in the Swan.

SEO Who Knew??

 There is so much to learn when you think you know it all... isn't there!!

I didn't do SEO for my blog because it was written on Blogspot and all the fancy stuff was prepared for the Wordpress platform. But it seems that more than 1 million users on blogger have made SEO techniques attractive to users.

So the first three things are:

    1.         Blog description
    2.         Robot .txt
    3.        Site Map

SEO 2021 Part 2

 On my inital research, everything said I needed to swap to Wordpress to get the best result for SEO in 2021... but a friend sent me a course by someone saying that cold emails worked.... and they do! but he said everyhing you need to know about everything is available in 10 hours of watching Youtube... and lo and behold, a search for SEO for Blogspot [ the blogger platform by Goolge] brings up more than 10 hours of material. that will be my next few days..

Also I decided to bite the bullet and try a wordpress solution and will create a blog on one of my new domains.

Qatar rejoins world Saudi Bring down Border

 Sometime ago, Saudi Arabia closed its border with Qatar which isn't going to affect many Australians except my son and I who had for the previous 12 years been building a business and influence in Qatar... I contacted our business psrtner who said - "don't worry- it will blow over in 6 weeks" that was in 2017!

So, three years on, it is with great interest I read that finally the border is open and Qatar is welcomed back to the Western World... the pity is that Australians can't fly at the moment so a visit is delayed a while.

So, 2021 has started better than 2020 ended [ actually from March to December was crap ] with sales being the best in 5 years, Qatar re-opening, the web host allocating new IP's and the weather back to 40c.

Is SEO hard?

 I am reinventing Myself so need to relearn the basics.... like SEO [Search engine optimisation ]

SEO isn’t that complicated. It’s quite simple—or at least the basics are. But the basics aren’t enough to get you ranked, right?

Wrong.

Here’s the truth:

Most people who run websites have a limited understanding of SEO, so you often only need to get the basics right to succeed.

There are just five fundamental steps to SEO success:

1. How to figure out what your customers are searching for
2. How to optimize your web pages for your target keywords
3. How to make sure your website is accessible to both search engines and humans
4. How to get other websites to link to your site, and finally:
5. How to start measuring your SEO success

So come with me on the journey to discover what to do in 2021!

Books Mentor - 200 makes you an expert 1/200

 I have started the process of reinventing myself... according to James Alturcher, it takes 5 years [ I have plenty of time ] and between 200-500 books as mentors... so here is my start on book one!

Two take aways in first 10 pages:

1. 95% of all companies [ in Australia ] will never do $1 million in sales

2. 94% of all companies [ worldwide ] will cease in first 10 years!

My situation is that I started in business [ that I am still in ] in 1975 on November 11th, and have done as much as $10 million in sales in a year.

Make plans - then you will have a track to run on!

of where you want to go, the rest of it is much easier.” 

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Have you taken time to plot a course for 2021?? Even if you have to change at least you will know where you are going...

My plans are titled 2025 so year 1 is done BUT it wasn't like it was planned but on reflection much has been achieved. If you want to review your life plans, I find that reviewing after reading James Altuchers "Re-invent your self" helps... he recommends to read as many as 500 books on your choosen target and the good ones will self select.

Will 2021 be a good year?

 Made any good resolutions??

I saw Keith Urban [ you know the bloke that goes with Nicole Kidman ] and he was talking about the best advice he had for 2020... it was, concentrate on the things you CAN DO. forget all the stuff you CAN'T DO!

So that is my advice for 2021!!
