I’m currently in the process of working with a blogging mentor – I’ll reveal who it is at a later date, but trust me, their credentials are solid! The reason why I reached out to this person is because I’ve been battling with a few ‘blogging demons’ over the last few months. More specifically, I [...]
Nowadays, I often get interviewed for podcasts, magazines and blogs. In fact I was just interviewed by Yaro Starak for his excellent entrepreneurial blog and podcast, which I’ve personally read for years myself. I’ve been asked ‘If you could go back and start your journey as an entrepreneur all over again, what would you do [...]
November 3rd, 2011 was a special day… I had the pleasure of speaking at the biggest annual blogging, social media, podcasting and new media summit in the world – BlogWorld Expo, in LA. It was another fantastic event, so I thought I’d show you a few photos and tell you a little more about it all…
In a few short days I’ll be ‘taking the stage’ (oh, that sounds SO rockstar!) at BlogWorld in LA, as one of the featured speakers at THE new media event of the year. In this post I show you how I put together a short video to help promote my session to hopefully stand out from the other 200+ awesome speakers at the event..!
When it comes to communication, your Inbox is where the party’s at, lets face it. However, email – and particularly your Inbox, doesn’t have to be the pain that it is for a lot of busy business owners and 9-5 escapee-wannabe’s! It’s simply about putting systems and processes in place. Here are my 6 ‘golden email rules’..!
Last Friday I was admitted into hospital with my wife for Amebiasis, an infection of the intestines caused by a parasite. If you catch it at the right time, its pretty simple to treat – but, boy, oh boy, the medication wipes you out. Well, it is for me, anyway. Todays post will be short and sweet [...]
Here’s the deal… I’ve experimented a lot on this blog. Written posts, audio / podcast posts, I’ve shot videos from all over the world and posted articles from more cities than I can remember! And I’ve had a blast doing it all. However, the is one very important, very BIG change on the horizon for the VBL Blog…
I’ve found that since I’ve been in business for myself, my success has become more and more apparent and I have been able to develop more and more meaningful relationships – both business and personal – by simply saying that one little word more often than I have done in the past…
I believe that becoming an entrepreneur is a gradual process. Without a doubt, the #1 thing that holds people back from being a success in business is poor personal financial mindset. It’s odd to me – most people are much better at business finances, than personal finances…
Today I answer a question from Michael in New Zealand on the subject of capturing entrepreneurial ideas so he can, amongst other things, get a better nights sleep..! I actually went into this a little a while back in a post, but the question pops up quite regularly, so I figured a little video might not hurt…
Before Tim Ferriss authored his first bestselling book (I’m not even going to quote the title, everyone knows what book I’m talking about!), the term ‘Lifestyle Design’ was barely searched for on Google. However, a lots changed since the release of the book, and the concept of Lifestyle Design isn’t so foreign to the masses…
Most blog posts I write are on the subject of business, location independence, outsourcing and the like. Today, I thought I would kick off this week with a slightly different, lighter approach to things. So, here are a butt load of facts you never knew about your favorite (I am your favorite, right!??) Virtual CEO…
It’s time for a reality check. When I relaunched the VBL Blog on January 5th, I mentioned that I would be attempting to post daily, Monday – Friday, and after just 12 days, I quit! I’ve always said that I’m a Businessman First, a Blogger Second. This is a statement I still feel very attached, too. Although I love blogging…
Last Wednesday I launched the brand new VBL Blog. The response has been unbelievable. To everyone that commented last week, to all those that sent out tweets and to anyone that had anything to do with the bucket-load of emails I have been receiving – thank you. It seems that you guys like what you see!
I’ve been an entrepreneur, my own boss, for close to 10 years now. Living an entrepreneurial lifestyle isn’t as easy, however, as a lot of people think it is. Sure, you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want, with who you want and to work on whatever you like, whenever you [...]
