slow the fuck down

09Aug09

About 9-10 months ago I wrote a post about balancing life, but recently I have moved further and have been putting a lot of thought into “enjoying the present”.
Am I starting to show my age? Most of my friends or people that I mix with are 10 years my senior so they probably think I [...]

social or focus

13Feb09

How embarrassing, I haven’t blogged for four months!  I don’t really even have time to do this blog post, however it is probably important that I do at least this one to explain why, so here goes…
Recently I have been focusing on “getting the job done” and “doing less in less time”. As a result [...]

Balanced Life Wheel

04Nov08

For a few years now I have been trying to balance my life better. It used to be largely all work, then all leasure, then all kids (and immediate family), and then work + kids. I have never been good at balance, I think I have an addictive behaviour.
Anyway, about 6 months ago I got [...]

Nik Cubrilovic Omnidrive lesson

16Oct08

The big lesson from this whole Omnidrive saga is make sure you communicate openly with your Investors and customers. It is my understanding that Omnidrive is no longer, and I have not heard from Nik for months, plus I believe customers have not received any word either.
I wrote a blog post back in May [...]

I did a quick mobile video interview with Warren Duff (CEO of ineedhits) today, using my new Nokia N95 (bought specifically so I can do Qik videos).
I founded ineedhits over 12 yrs ago (1996), and I think Warren has now worked at ineedhits for over 5 yrs (?). He originally started as Business Development Manager [...]

outsource yuk

12Sep08

Everyone knows this, but very few do it!
Smart and successful people know that your most precious resource is your time… you need to place a value (ie: a $$$ figure) on your time and start outsourcing your life more!
The general rule is… if you can get someone else to do a task for less than [...]

Family and quality of life – consumes most of my attention and time.
Minti – 95% of my ‘work time‘.

ineedhits – 5% of my ‘work [...]

jason calacanis

10Sep08

People hate on Jason Calacanis a lot.
My view is… I really like him (although never met him personally). He is successful (Silicon Ally, Weblogs Inc, Mahalo), probably has a net worth around 30-50M, speaks his mind, and 99% of people are just pure jealous.
He truely is the king of internet spin and has been able [...]

my feed

10Sep08

Apparently my feed for this blog is http://claycook.wordpress.com/feed/
What I can’t understand is – why doesn’t WordPress have an option that promotes your feed on your blog somewhere?
By default your blog should have an RSS icon on the top right of your blog, so that your readers can easily find and subscribe to your blog. [...]
