WordPress users must once again upgrade to version 2.8.6. I strongly recommend that you don’t delay so that your blog is secured. I’m sure you’ve already seen this in your WordPress dashboards, but just in case you missed it, here’s the information about the latest upgrade.

I really appreciate how the WordPress dev team work so hard to make sure any security issues are dealt with quickly. Thanks, guys!

Remember to always backup your WordPress database before upgrading and deactivate your plugins. Then once you’ve completed the upgrade, activate your plugins again.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Calvin Coolidge (1872 – 1933)

While creating the product I’ve been working on these last couple of weeks, I’ve had more than my share of ideas. In fact sometimes I think I over-think things. Does that happen to you?

Well, I decided I needed to create something that would leverage my time and money, because basicly I’d rather be doing other things instead of working. It’s not that I’m lazy…not at all. In fact, I once held down not 1 but 3 jobs! But as I get older, I’m just not into working hard. I’m into working smart!

So my question to myself was this: how to create something once and make money over and over again without spending huge amounts of time “working”? The answer was simple and has been proven over and over again to be the one best business models on the Internet: I’m going to launch my own paid membership site. I’m going to keep the cost very very reasonable and I’m going to offer lots and lots of value.

So look for an announcement really soon. Thanks for visiting and of course I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Last week I posted that I was in the process of creating a product and I still am. It’s just not progressing as quickly as I would like and that’s because I wear too many hats. Seriously! So while I’m trying to balance other parts of my life and all the things I’m required to do in any given week, the project is slow-going.

I guess there’s nothing wrong with that. After all, I’m not in any kind of race, am I? So I decided to stop being so hard on myself, and just work slow and steadily until everything gets done.

Someday soon I know I will have to outsource some of the work, and I’m coming to terms with that. Sometimes it’s hard to relinquish control, but a smart business person should know when it’s time to delegate the work to others.

Anyway, I’ve got another blog post to write and then back to the drawing board for me. I will be making an announcement soon.

Yes, Karen has been up to all kinds of things

I have been quietly creating a digital product that I will be launching this week…barring any unforeseen obstacles. Basicly, it is my improved version of a product that has Master Resale Rights and I will making it better…with XHTML and CSS valid code, and SEO optimized, etc. I will announce when it’s ready.

I also have several niche domains to develop. They have huge potential and my goal is to get them earning some income and build massive traffic and rankings for them so that I can later sell them for nice profits.

When I have any spare time – which is rare these days – I’m still singing, and writing stories.

Ah…but I love what I do, and every day I’m grateful for this tool, my computer. I’m grateful that I can use the tool for work and play and that this wonderful tool keeps me busy for hours. I’m grateful that I can work from home and boldly take the risks to launch websites and products, and I do it for the love of it…
and hopefully I can help some people along the way

Have a wonderful week!
