Farewell 2010

2010 has come to an end. It has been a good year overall but things did not go as they were planned for as for as my internet business is concerned.

I look forward to 2011 with a great vigour and plans that I would share with you all in 2011.

There is a day left for 2010 to complete but it would be my last post on the blog.

There are a lot of things that happened in 2010 that makes it special. Birth of my daughter Manya, our decision to stay with parents, starting my own clinic and marriage of my brother Ajay were few special events that would make this year unforgettable.

I had planned my business to be put in fast lane. I was on track but few offline urgencies caused a block in that progress.

The year was better than 2009 for business. 2011 would be wonderful, I believe. [Read more...]

Pruning My Business

In beginning  of 2010, I decided to shed  load that was not letting me focus on the productive part of my web businesses. These included unutilized domains which offered opportunity but lack of time did not allow me to nurture them.

I let about 12 domains to expire on their own. I kept few out of emotional attachment and possible time slot availability in future.

This year I am carrying my knife deeper.

I am closing the sick units. The websites which take my time and investment but do not offer or promise to offer much. Plus I am closing the websites which I have not been able to manage.

Few of them are close to my heart but I need to make difficult decisions.

It is time for holidays and I  have to plan for the next year. It is going to be bigger and better. I am going to be more specific and productivity oriented and try no new project.

I have taken off from few of my websites. I would keep posting here though the frequency might show few blips.

Its time to become lean and mean. ;-)

As usual, I would discuss the plans with you once I chart them.

I am sure you are already making plans for next year. If you have not, please start making one.

Good day.

Is Good Advice Boring?

One of the reasons that most of the hyped products appeal to the people is because their mind wants to listen to the spiced up stuff apart from lure of making easy money.

If I tell you the steps for making money in 10 plain sentences, you would listen and probably forget.

But if somebody comes with bells and whisles, beat the drum, shows off the car and the mansion images of which he copied from some website, we pay attnetion.

Why?

Our mind likes spices. That is what gossip industry is thriving on.

Making money needs sincerity and dedication. Instead we are looking for short cuts.

It is time to sit and think. [Read more...]

Let Your Mind Swell

Indian spiritual lessons teach you that your mind asks for more and any fulfillment is just a temporary phase. When you get something, it would ask for more.

Yes! That is true. I have felt that phenomenon and that this also secret of continuous ongoing struggle to achieve more.

You look for a higher target when you reach one.

It is said that moment you fill the mind it swells further, making space for more.

I have experienced this in my web business.

When I started, I was quite doubtful if I could actually make any money. The concept seemed so much alien to my education and background. [Read more...]
