Visit from England

What a great saturday night we had last week! Cliff and his girlfriend Jenna came over to visit some of their friends in Copenhagen. My brother Jules and I got the opportunity to hang out with them Saturday night. We had a blast and got to show them the night life of Copenhagen.

Here are a few pics I managed to get of Cliff & Jenna with my iPhone

P.S. Cliff if these pics violate any wierd rule or regulation you may be under let me know haha :)

My new home!

Hey all,

Just wanted to post this real quick. This is how my family and friends helped me transform my new apartment from a dump into a nice place to live:

This is actually my first video to be posted on the Internet. It was shot in full hd widescreen format, but somehow I lost that during the transformation to flash haha. I’ll get better at this until next time.

My temporary office

So the apartment is finally starting to look like a home and I’ve begun moving all my stuff over. I still feel like I’ve got a long way to go… I am working on a little video to share with you all, hopefully maybe even tonight!

Anyways, here’s a snapshot of my temporary office:

Cars

Hey all, I recently got my first iPhone and installed a wordpress application for it. Thought I’d try it out by posting a silly picture from my work place. This is a picture of my car and my boss’s car. Can you guess which one is mine? :)

Yes – my first appartment!

So it finally happened. After spending the last 7 years in Copenhagen living with other people (cousin, brothers, girlfriends) I now have my very own home :) I was just handed the keys today and already my brother and I have stripped the old kitchen 75%.

There’s a lot of work to be done with the place, but that way I can make it my very own style.

I’ll make a short video of the place, so we can keep track of the progress made there :)

What happened to the last 3 months??

Hey all,

It’s amazing how time flies …. normally you would end that sentence with "when you’re having fun", but I can’t exactly use that in this context. I have been going through the wildest emotional rollar coaster I have ever experienced… and the ride isn’t quite finished yet.

I won’t go into details here, but trust me when I say that the last three months of my life have been very tough on me. I have faced some of the worst demons and experienced true pain psysically, emotionally and mentally.

All my Internet Marketing projects have been on hold, but this week I decided enough is enough! I am getting back into production and now more determined then ever to get my projects rolling.

I get the feeling it’s true when they say "what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger".

Catch you on the flip side :)

i failed once

Hey all,

It’s true I really did fail about 5 years ago…

I was running the free traffic and list building club called LifestyleNetworker and everything was going great! Loads of people joined daily and I was getting super feedback from happy users. Then I decided that I would offer the same software that I was using to run the club with to other members. Don’t get me wrong I truly believe that it was the right decision, but I just wasn’t prepared for what was to happen a few months down the road.

"The only way to retain a true leader is if you give them the same opportunity for growth as you have" – Tim Sales.

I sold the software to begin with for a measly $50 and naturally the demand was very high! But because the software was written in cgi and I had made lot’s of hacks and modifications it was incredibly tough to support. I started getting daily support mails and at one time had server login for about 50 clients! I eventually had to raise the price to $97 because I was running out of extra time to do my marketing.

This is where I made my fatal mistake – I didn’t hire someone to take care of these support issues and eventually I was so bogged down with support requests that I didn’t feel like opening my email. As time went by I slowly got my clients sorted out and then I vanished from the Internet Marketing game.

Don’t get me wrong – I absolutely LOVE taking care of my clients! I just got flooded with software support requests that I lost interest in doing my marketing stuff.

Why am I telling you all this?

I want you to know that I have learned from my mistakes. Yes I will eventually be offering the software we are developing to a select group of players, but when I do not know. This software is pretty neat and has features no other Internet Marketing software has to date, but I want to make sure it’s 100% tested and that support ressources are in place before I release it.

I also want you to know that I am no guru marketer. I am a regular guy with a mission to succeed online. Much like you I pressume :) I just happen to have discovered a really cool way to teach other people how to make some money online and I want to share that with you.

Thanks for reading!
