I’ve just finished my external web development contracts to Education Queensland and BHP and after 4 months of slowly chipping away at Script Smart version 2, it’s nearly ready.
Check out the video cast I’ve done regarding this, just ignore the grainy bit in the middle, I think I need a new digital camera.
I’ve got lots of nice surprises coming your way very soon with the launch of version 2 so I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks

I recorded this podcast in May 2006 when I was ramping up for the Script Smart launch and never got around to using it.
Mike Stewart just blogged about this WordPress Plugin called PodPress which allowed me every so easily to get this podcast into this blog post. Thanks Mike, it is an awesome plugin and can’t wait to try a video feed with it. I highly recommend you get this plugin.

After 1 year of working from home doing things on my own time and slowly building my website development and internet marketing business, I’ve decided to take a side step and return to the 9-5.
I hear you say WHY would he do that?
Let me start by saying that with 3 kids, the pressure to keep money flowing in is high, and working from home dealing with small business is not easy and has a lot of hurdles to jump through.
I still work for myself and love it that way, but had to start to move away from dealing with small business. Small business means small jobs which means lots more of them just to bring in a decent income. Chasing the occassional client for money is also not my favourite past time.
Instead I’ve turned my attention to taking on bigger corporate clients with bigger projects that last longer, and they have no problem paying me for the work that I do for them.
While I’m still trading my time for money I want to be earning as much as possible. The big trade off to this is that bigger corporate clients require me to work at their office, not mine.
My internet marketing business is still slowly bubbling along, but it’s taking a bit of a back seat, with me only spending about 1 hour per day on it including weekends. Not enough at all, but it’s better than doing nothing on it.
I anticipate that I’ll only be doing this 9-5 contracting until end of next year. This gives me my buffer of income my life requires while my internet marketing business is growing. There I’ve just publically set myself a goal. This goal has now set me in motion to carry it out.
I will be using this blog as I have been to record my journey, so that I can stay focused and look back in years to come at my achievements.
