something to speed up your knowledge acquisition

I happen to come across this software today which was mentioned by Woody Maxim in his blog. Thanks Woody!

Its a darn cool app that will take your document and churn out easy to read mindmap. So imagine if you got couple of hundred pages of doc to go through. Chuck it into themereader and you can grasp the overall idea in probably minutes :)

Today my developer have shared a VERY good article and I must share this with you.

I remember sharing this blog with you. Its about personal development. This time Steve posted about how going bankrupt in his 20s proves to be immensely valuable in his 30s. Not everyone can be that strong, but yet he can still enjoying doing what he love!

Yet, many still give yourself excuses not to do certain things that you know has a chance of making a difference in your life. Example, taking the big step into Internet Marketing. Or venture into something new. Or even just changing jobs. You can keep giving yourself all the reasons you want, and guess what? It will not make a SINGLE BIT OF DIFFERENCE to your life.

If you have read my previous post, I was at almost the lowest point in my life early this year. One of my close friend told me, “I would still wish for that to happen to you”. He went on to explain that it is a good life experience and look on the bright side, “at least it happened to you earlier in your life than later”. Looking back at it, I do wish it has never happened. But I definitely did grew stronger and learn to move forward.

Below is the link to the full article. Thanks Steve :)

how much really? not just money, but time :)
why am I bringing this up today? Well because I am having a huge software development that has been going on for over 1 year now. It is due to complete in 3 months time. So that is over 15 months of development on 1 masterpiece. Over $100,000 been spent on developing this Internet Marketing platform. Yes of course I do intend to make money out of it. But most importantly is to make money that is truly deserving. Delivering excellent software, user experience and something that will really help user.

But who knows, it may not be a big success? (obviously I will try my best not to let that happen) But really, we can never be 100% sure. However, what I am sure is about my passion for Internet Marketing. My passion in empowering and teaching people Internet Marketing skills so that they too can enjoy the kind of freedom that Internet Marketing has given me.

If people promise you the sky and the moon without lifting your finger or sweat, well forget it. I can tell you upfront that I have been working extremely hard to get to where I am today. BUT the difference that Internet Marketing can do for you is the marketplace is much bigger and easier to access. This is the one thing that can give you a slight edge over offline business.
And this can only grow bigger every minute.
