The Joys of Modern Technology

by TheMillionPoundMan.com on October 24, 2011

Aah! I am in awe of the wonderful technology we have at our disposal.

With all these incredible advances in technology there are more ways for us to benefit and profit from.

When I first purchased a laptop, my sole intention was so that I could make money online.

I had it all planned out.

A close friend’s brother had made a good amount of money selling CDs and DVDs on Amazon.

He bought a house, paying in full in cash.

I was inspired.

I bought the laptop to make money selling on eBay.

Two laptops and two desktop computers later and I’m running my online activities on a desktop computer and my lovely little android smart phone.

On that point, I’m now writing this very blog post on my phone.

Technology is amazing.

I’ve Been Away… and I’m Back.

by TheMillionPoundMan.com on October 24, 2011

I’ve neglected this blog and this site for far too long.

When I first started themillionpoundman.com my intention was for this to be a way to track my wealth creation. A way to demonstrate how I was building my personal finances to reach the £1,000,000 mark.

I intended for this to be a way to enforce accountability on my side and also to possibly be an inspiration to others who wish to take charge of their finances and hit that target of £1 million too.

Sadly, I’ve lacked discipline.

And there in lies one of the keys, I believe, to generate wealth for oneself. Discipline.

Without it I have been lost.

Let me put things into perspective. My initial idea for themillionpoundman.com came to me in 2006.

I finally did something about it in 2008. It was haphazard. I didn’t stick with it.

I’m writing this in 2011.

Wow! Way to go in creating financial abundance.

You see, thanks to my lack of discipline, my lack of getting off my rear and getting things done and procrastination in general I am at more or less the same position I was in back in 2006.

Perhaps I’m slightly more jaded and more cynical. Yet I have the same intention: Get Rich.

If I can assist others and have fun in the process – fantastic!

The biggest obstacle in my quest for wealth has been myself. Me. Moi.

Well, me and a bundle of negative habits that are not conducive for my financial well being.

I recognise that I need to instill habits that will nourish me and assist me and my finances to grow.

What is currently holding you back?

Money Is Evil!

March 16, 2008

Wrong. Money is not evil. It is neither ‘the source of evil’. If you’re looking to the scripture, the correct quote is “the love of money is the root of evil”. Unfortunately this is one of the often misquoted phrases relating to money. Money is not there to be deified… money simply CAN’T be deified [...]
