Pixaprize Clues, News & Views

I’m thinking out of the box! ……or trying to anyway!

I was gonna make this a blog about the journey I make from “net newbie” to “flourishing online entrepreneur”. An exciting and fun-packed adventure of “highs” and ofcourse the expected “lows” of converting a relatively unpopular and unsuccesful site into ……… well…….. the opposite! (Successful & Popular!)

What I’ve experienced so far is exactly that! Many Highs & Way Too Many Lows! There are days when I’m surging with enthusiasm and get a crazy amount of work done; where there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to complete what i’ve started………… and then there are the days (sometimes numerous days!) where I can’t be motivated even if my life depended on it!! What is it with this attitude? Am I a born loser? (Don’t answer that!!) Am I not serious enough to get this done? Am I going to let so many of my visitors down? Am I going to let myself and my family down? I certainly don’t want to………. so why?

I mean, I’ve spent the last two years (and then some!) of my life trying and failing at bringing success.
The vast majority of my time has been spent on cooking up ideas! Not just new marketing techniques to get the Pixa site in line, but whole new sites, whole new concepts and whole new businesses. I believe the word is “pro-crastination”! - It’s a very powerful “action” word, or should i call it an “in-action” word. There are literally millions of people who had ideas, but never acted upon those ideas. How many times have you regreted not putting something into action all that time ago? Five years ago, before the housing boom, I “nearly” purchased a house for a measly 20% of it’s current price. The property boom has come and gone and yet I remain on the outside just because I couldn’t commit.

Well, not anymore! I am here now and am willing to take on allcomers - I will do those things that downright scare me as long as I know it will move me from A to B. A year ago, forget A Year ago, even a couple of months ago, I would have been far too afraid to stick my name to such a blog, I would have been far too afraid to send out a mailing to my subscribers in the fear of embarrasing myself. I am a wiser individual and a humble one to know that I will make mistakes, as everybody does, but he who learns from those mistakes is the superior individual. It is he who will go on to glory………. (or hopefully a little bit of success!!)

Now, I know you guys spend numerous hours hunched over your computers, bouncing from site to site. I do the same, I also “surf” and have been doing so for the last two years, almost non-stop! I believe i have picked up enough information (we are living in the information age, after all) to have come up with a concept which will be profitable to you…….. yes, to you! Ofcourse, I intend to be rewarded for my efforts
and you can’t begrudge me that. I’m putting in the hours and working extremely hard in creating this. Just bear (or is it bare!) with me until i get this done. Everybody I’ve spoken with about this new concept thinks It’s great. Everybody.

I have a plan. It’s written down. It’s a step-by-step action plan of things i need to do until the new site is launched. I need to do things that i never would have dreamed of a few months ago, but I’m going to do it whether i feel like it or not. Whether you follow me or not. Whether the sun rises or not.

Please excuse my rant, but I’m getting frustrated and thought to let you know as to what’s going on in my head. I’ve neglected in sending you “clue” e-mails, winner e-mails, blog posts in this blog and I haven’t even fixed the error people are seeing when they open up www.pixaprize.com’s homepage (only in internet explorer) - I will do this soon. Don’t worry about the error, it’s not harmful or cause any site breakdowns, just click cancel and continue.

Programming of the site is underway. In fact, programming of one of the sites is complete. Yes! one of the sites, that means I’m creating more than one - there’s actully two sites which are due to be launched in August 08.

See you soon
