I was thinking about life and how some so-called gurus tell you to find one thing and stick at it.
Well that is good advice to a degree but what they don't tell you is when to quit.
Many of us have been down the loooooong road of listening to 'gurus' whose only aim is to sell us their latest internet-busting wonder that will make you rich in 30 days.
Or internet academies who will just take the money and hardly teach you anything.
I'd like to say one thing on the subject...
DISCARD THE DROSS !
Clear your computer of all those projects that "might" make money one day.
Think about what you actually have already made money with - ebay ? BANS ? or reselling plr articles ?
Whatever it is then remember this -
Those actually WORKED !
Think about how you could make them work again !
Concentrate on what works for you. If it does not work then move on to something that does. Don't throw good money after bad.
A $2000 seminar will almost certainly NOT guarantee you riches - what it will guarantee you is several hours of a hard sell of yet another Guru product !
Would you pay to go to a sales presentation of a time-share ? Of course not !
Most Guru seminars are the internet equivalent.
If you have NOT succeeded in making money on the internet then try Ewen Chia's guide ... it only costs the same as a couple of hamburgers at MacDonalds.
Your most valuable asset is your time and you will only get each day once !
(This you will realise as you get older)
Why waste your precious day in ambitious projects just because some guru you have never met tells you that this will be the next winning way to make money.
The Truth about the internet is that there is NO magic Bullet that will rocket you to stardom and riches.
Now I know that is not what you want to hear but it is a fact.
The way to make money on the internet is simple.
Find something that works and do it time and time again.
For hundreds of years medieval people searched for the Philosopher's Stone - a legendary stone that brought wealth and health to the owner.
Hucksters sold thousands of them - and who do you think got rich ?
The HUCKSTERS !
The purchasers ended up with a bit of rock that the gold paint rubbed away from in a week.
There simply is NO lapis philosophorum - Philosopher's stone.
Most of the 'Gurus' are the modern day equivalent of the medieval hucksters.
However ,the real Gurus like Joel Comm,Perry Marshall and Ewen Chia really DO give value but what they all teach is METHODS of making money and these all do require application and testing of their system or software to succeed.
If you are not succeeding then try Ewen Chia's system - it really does work and includes 3 serious moneymaking ideas, videos,mp3s and 2 pdf reports that will seriously make you money - not rich - but real money.
Go and see

Eurovision Song Contest
That was quite fun last night (apart from Dustin the Turkey which seems to have been a tragic mistake I think)
My Money is going on Greece for the sheer exuberance of their young lady but I really like Netherlands and Montenegro too.
We have another round tomorrow and while the program usually sends me off to watch some paint dry, I have to confess I quite enjoyed it !
I also liked the Finnish Guys with the axes...
If they are not careful,I'll enter for it myself with a rendering of The Chastity Belt (Benny Hill 1967) That'll teach them to send belly dancers !

These must be coming out from under the carpet I think...
Some of the prices are really low onSoverigns at auction but the really exciting thing on my website is 3 GOLD British Medieval ANGELS and one French Gold Angel.
THere are hundreds more gold coins on the website too.
Gold AngelsThe condition looks superb (except for the fold on one of them.) and I've put a couple of photos above so you can see what is there.
Gold is very busy at the moment and sovereigns have gone up considerably.
There is quite an exciting Time Team Discovery video on the home page of the Hammered Gold Coins website and it REALLY is worth watching.
If those guys get excited abut a Roman piece of pottery imagine what they would be like if they find GOLD ! (They DD !)

MP3 Download Alert
If you reglarly download mp3s then please be careful.
McCaffee says that files from several sources now download Trojan programs.
Notalby Mirar and Net Nucleus which says it doesn't have pop-ups and has actually then just installed a pop-up behind itself !
File reported as affected include :
preview-t-3545425-changing times earth wind .mp3 and t-3545425-just got lucky.mp3.
for more information see McCaffee.com
They say they have found trojans from this source on over 360,000 computers so far.
Well just WHAT do you give the man who has everything ?
A Car ?
A Boat ?
A Plane ?
Its a fair bet he already has all he needs of those ...
What about a one-of-a-kind gift ?
The sort of thing that only comes once in a lifetime ..
its kind of expensive though ..
Only Oil Sheikhs,Russian Oil Barons and Pro Footballers need apply.
(OK maybe Bill Gates and Donald Trump could just about afford it)
I'm not going to tell you what it is... but I will tell you the price-
Nineteen Million and 985 thousand Dollars....
See it at
www.hammeredgoldcoins.info And here's a hint - it is not a coin !

My wife collects dolls and she has a website of mainly Bisque Dolls
( a Bisque Doll is one that has a head of unglazed Porcelain)
and I was quite surprised at some of the prices these fetch - from $ 12 up to $6000 !
I have persuaded her to add other dolls and these vary from Victorian and earlier dolls right up to novel and unusual dolls like African and Oriental Fertility Dolls.
The Japanese ones were particularly beautiful and elegant and included those medical dolls that Japanese ladies used to point out their ailments to doctors.
I've put up a few pictures that she has on the website at the moment.
there is a Jumeau from France and several Kestner Dolls from Germany ( these are the most collectible Bisque Dolls)
(I should point out that some of these are auctions and may only be there for a couple of days)
