Here we are having fun in Sweden after 7 hours of skiing. We have had snow all day and loads of giggles! Kicking back with a few pints from the various bars in Åre while we send happy thoughts to our colleauges at work

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

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:

[See post to watch Flash video]

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.

Well not really but I just did a silly search for my name and to my big surprise my blog comes up on the first page on google.com!

Cool huh – here check it out yourself:

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:

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?

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

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

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!
