John Assaraf Interview

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

John Assaraf is an international best-selling author, speaker, and entrepreneur. You may have seen him as one of the experts in the popular movie The Secret (as well as in The Secret book), talking about how he manifested his dream house. What’s most amazing is that he lived in that house for quite a while before discovering it was the exact same house he originally posted on his […]

After much anticipation Agloco released their Viewbar today.  If you already have an Agloco account, you can login and download it now.  If you don’t have an Agloco account, you can sign up here.  And if you have no idea what I’m talking about, read my original post about Agloco.  Basically Agloco is a service that intends to […]

The Truth About Piracy

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

After posting the recent article on Copyright and Intellectual Property, I expected someone would question whether the whole notion of copyrights is fear-based.  Sure enough someone did.  It’s a very good question — is the whole notion of intellectual property inherently rooted in fear and scarcity thinking?  Should we feel free to pirate whatever we desire?  Or is […]

Copyright and Intellectual Property

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

As a blogger and a former software developer, I must frequently deal with copyright issues.  For most of my adult life, intellectual property has been my primary source of livelihood and remains so to this day.  While some people take issue with the concept of intellectual property and believe that all content should be free, I don’t count […]

How to Prioritize

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Virtually every time management system teaches that you must prioritize your projects to make sure you’re working on what’s truly important instead of getting caught up in minor things.  However, few systems explain precisely how to do this.  How do you decide which task is really the most important at any given time?  Is it the one that’s most urgent, […]

Confessions of an A-List Blogger

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Since I receive many questions about this topic, I thought it would be fun to share a candid insider’s look at the reality of being an A-list blogger.  These are my personal observations, so I’m not saying they’re true of other high-traffic bloggers, but it wouldn’t surprise me if some of these patterns held up.  While I normally […]

Testing to Failure

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

Testing ideas through direct experience is among the best ways to learn and grow.  If you want to know if an idea really has merit, test it under real-world conditions.  Then you’ll have your answer.
For example, suppose you want to ask someone out for a date.  One simple test would be to go right up to the person and […]

Earn Passive Income While Web Surfing

Friday, April 13th, 2007

Agloco has been generating a lot of buzz lately as a new way for people to earn a little extra money from their normal web browsing activities… possibly a lot of extra money if you refer others to the program.
Reincarnation of AllAdvantage
You may recall an online service from many years ago called AllAdvantage.  It provided a free browser […]

Pavlina Purpose and Values

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Until now I was able to simply use my personal mission and values for running this business, but as I mentioned in the previous post, it’s not going to be just me much longer.  Pavlina may be my “baby” in a way, but as a business it needs its own purpose and values, such that it can maintain […]

Future Plans

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

Since I get a lot of questions related to my future plans, I’ll go ahead and share them.  For people who know me well, this certainly isn’t a secret, but others may find some of it surprising.
For the past couple years, I’ve been running this business mainly as a solopreneur (or perhaps as a duopreneur with Erin).  […]
