Not Just Another Internet Business Success Journey

Do something nice for someone else

Many of us will have seen, read or heard about this principle before. It has been called:

• pay it forward
• a random act of kindness
• blessing others

Whatever our level of faith, doing something nice for someone else will often elevate our sense of peace and help develop feelings of goodwill.

It doesn’t all have to be done today

Many internet business hopefuls have an inbox, or two. It is packed with affiliate information, article ideas, the latest web 2.0 strategies and a number of those tasks many of us keep putting off till tomorrow.

Eight rules for safe use of Web 2.0

Whether it is a blog, wiki or personal space as MySpace, today’s youth are in almost constant contact with the world around them. They have quickly woven these social network tools into everyday life. However, hiding in the strands of this Web 2.0 is a sinister sting in the tail.

The sting comes in the form of invasion of privacy, identity theft and loss of control over what has traditionally been private information. Over three quarters of the “friends” I have met online or know offline have more than one personal photo in the online profile.
