Its 7am and this is my final morning in Tokyo…. I’m in Tokyo by the way!

Went on a nice early morning walk around Imperial Palace. Literally. All the way around, outside, around the moat. Its too early and its closed!

I’ve actually been up all night because I want back in to UK time as best I can and try to get some sleep on the plane. Very annoyingly I’ve come all this way and been so busy I have seen nothing of the place. Did go out for a meal last night in a very nice restaurant overlooking the whole city, other than that my only other excursion involved extreme Vodka, I can recall nothing.

So, from what little I have seen these are my conclusions!

If I were a lot less busy I would probably even investigate business out here. The population is 140m, with very high internet and phone usage… that has to be a a good starting point. Now you just have the simple problem of deciding what the business is and what the competition and market is like for that now. There is also a huge cultural difference that has to be understood.

7.10 am now, time for breakfast and check out.

It really isn’t worth going to bed now, but it has been worth staying up to nearly 5am even though I need to be up in an hour!
Having recently been ill, most likely from over working I should probably be more careful. Providing I do this just once or twice a week I should be fine.

I hope.

Sadly sometimes it’s just required to work through the night. However much you are able to work smarter and not harder, there are always times you have to knuckle down and work through, tonight was one of those nights.

I was just looking through the site and realised how outdated everything on here was. The “About” page has been updated, I intend to follow up with a couple more changes.

Part of the reason for the updates is that the purpose of the site has been re-focused a little. It is now purely about my journey to £1 million, and my miscellaneous thoughts and adventures on this path I have laid before me. The site is not in anyway linked specifically to any sites or other projects.

I genuinely hope some people will be able to make a few extra pennies using my wisdom, or at least save themselves a lot of hard work in discovering something I have already spent time doing.
It might also help if a few people lose a bit of money along the way to balance things out! My influence is such that global economies could become hugely in balanced if this were not the case.

Besides its important to make few mistakes along the way. I make them every day (all deliberate as part of my self improvement program of course)

Over the weekend I learned an important lesson! How to manage my own stress levels.

I have really suffered from stress only a couple of times, most significantly when I was managing 2 companies, both of which struggling, while juggling my massive personals debt.

Recently with the combination of moving house, work, long hours and again a few financial factors I’ve been a little more pressured than I have been for a long time. Though not stressed in the same way as I had been before, I can easily boil over in an instant and feel like murdering someone. Being an easy going and level headed sort of chap I am aware of the punishments facing such actions. I therefore try to avoid getting so angry I kill - it is inexcusable and “anger” will not help me in any court of law. Oh, I also don’t kill on moral grounds.

…anyway…. Saturday morning I went in to town to do a few routine things: Visit the bank to change my address, pop to post office, buy some lunch.
Instead of my planned routine I found myself in the bank, getting extremely pissed off and demanding to see the bank manager. I closed my account and stormed out. Town visit over.

For the rest of the afternoon I was very angry, very stressed, not pleasant to be around and definitely not productive.

Sunday morning the sun was shining and I saw a perfect opportunity to get out and mow the garden. Putting stripes up and down the lawn while Abi and Phoebe tended to the pots and plants was most satisfying indeed. Focusing on them, having lunch together and spending all afternoon in the garden was the first time in a long long long time I COMPLETELY forgot about work. Ridiculous how it took something so simple to put things back in to perspective for me. Then again everyone who knows me will vouch for what a complete fucking dick I can be!

Come Monday morning I was revitalised and looking on the bright side of life once more.

Realistically I can’t take much time off. I have massive work loads and responsibilities I must meet. But its nice to know that by stepping back for just a few hours I can unwind and appreciate what its all really about.

I am just sat in my hotel in Kiev (or is it Kyiv?!) waiting to have a quick meeting before hoping in to a taxi and heading to the airport.

I have had a very busy week in the Ukraine since flying in on Sunday night. I spent one day here in the capital, and then a few days with development office in Donetsk. I would like to come out for a little bit longer in the future so I have the opportunity to absorb some of the culture, unfortunately this week it has been all business and no pleasure, not even a couple of hours free to quickly look at the touristy spots.

I will write a little more soon as I get back and land in the UK, unfortunately I am pressed for time.

As usual, I have outshone myself with my incredible photographic abilities; take a look at these photos! If you’ve never been to the Ukraine, these will give you absolutely no better picture of what the country is like!

Wonderful View from my hotel room….

This is actually a very impressive landmark - which I do it no justice!

Again, I have taken something quite striking and made it look shit!

I am available for bar mitzvahs and weddings.

Moving house tomorrow - WOOHOO!

Well, in thoery anyway, obviously won’t count on it until i have the key in my hands. And even then have to shift everything from one house to another which is not going to be fun….

Have spent the last few days in London at the TFM&A. Not a massively exciting show, however as usual seemed to get some good business out of it.

I have to go to bed now, I am knackered and have a call at 7am.

Thats it, it’s over. I am just at in the hotel room packing up getting ready to check out.

Will spend the rest of the day shopping and relaxing, then catching flight out of here while all of America watches the superbowl.

Been a good few days, lots of business has been done, presentation went well, and managed to have a little late night/early morning fun in the process. World Dating Partners is going to get a big boost in business from this one event… I would love to take all credit for it - but in reality I am just so excited to be a small part of it.

My brain is going to be ticking away non-stop for a while now because I have just been opened up to so many more massive opportunities. The second I am back in the UK I want to get started working on some of these:

This has been a bit of a mindless rant from me, could be because of my brain working on overload, or it could be that I have sunstroke! I am off now, time to hit some shops and enjoy the sun.

We arrived yesterday afternoon, it was a cool 28 Celsius and the sun was shining.
This is my first trip to Miami, not done much wondering about yet so I shall reserve my judgement until later.

I didn’t enjoy my coffee this morning too much - filter with non-dairy creamer! Same as any other US hotel I’ve stayed in so nothing out of the ordinary or worth complaining about.

I have spilt some of this non-dairy creamer on my desk and it looks like I’ve wasted no time in obtaining class A drugs, however I assure you its not. I don’t do drugs, not this time in the morning.

For anyone wondering what Miami looks like, this is the view from the side of the hotel.

So, what’s the plan, why am I here?!
Tomorrow is the iDate conference where we, World Dating Partners, are gold sponsors and have a very sexy stand. I’m looking forward to the next couple of days, should hopefully meet some great potential business clients, do a spot of networking. Then on the weekend we’re going fishing. Not something I thought I would be looking forward to, but the prospect of landing me a shark has got me going!

Time now for my breakfast, then need to spend a few hours working as I have a mountain of emails to get through, a few calls to make and I will also be making some final changes to my presentation which falls at the end of the iDate conference. I am here after all, not to enjoy the weather, beach, drugs or women.

Let’s not forget I am a clean cut business and family man, a pillar to society!

I have reached that point now where I have to decide if or not I should go to bed. It has gone 4:30am and I need to be up within 2 hours. While the 2 hours would be very useful sleep I am worried that I will lay in bed, restless, then be annoyed that I have wasted my time!

I am not worried about being tired. I always find it good to deprive myself of sleep before flying west, backwards through the time zones, this way I can adjust very quickly to their hours. As I am off to Miami on tuesday, just over 24 hours away I could almost claim that this was perfectly planned! 5am = midnight, a very reasonable time to be going to sleep!

now, back to the matter in hand, sleep, or no sleep…. almost perfectly I have a USA quarter on my desk….

heads = sleep
tails = no sleep

………….
………

Heads.

The coin has spoken. “In God we trust”

Good night.

I don’t normally get involved in the whole office humour and forwarding of crap emails. Actually I hate it, there are probably few bigger wastes of time.

But I did recently receive one email which I opened and read. It linked to a letter which was quite amusing:

Dear Internet Porn,

These last ten years have been quite a trip, have they not? My letter to you now, however, is not one of celebration… I don’t feel like we are the same anymore. We just don’t have that passion we used to.

When we first met I was a loser, and you were there for me. My parents told me that you were no good for me, but I didn’t listen. You showed me that there were plenty of people like myself getting laid. It was beautiful and passionate. Your softcore erotic videos were a tasteful introduction to my budding sexuality.

As I got older I started seeing girls on the side. I knew you were jealous, but you have always held a special place in my heart. You became naughtier and it affected my relationships. I started wanting all the things I had seen you do. I wanted to be just like you. I wanted to cover my girlfriend’s face, put it up her ass, choke her.

But that’s when I realized your dark secret, Internet Porn. You aren’t real: you are a fake and shallow individual. No girl wants a load on her face! Anal sex hurts and humiliates, and choking only leads to bruises that friends and loved ones ask about. You lied to me and changed my sexual expectations. Now no girl can please me.

I know it isn’t all bad. You’ve taught me so much. I can surf the internet with either hand and I know all the keyboard shortcuts for my browser. I know positions that aren’t even in the Kamasutra. But you have such a dark side. I’ve been late for work more than once and I find myself wanting to jerkoff at six in the morning. That’s what you’ve done to me.

Even now, on the eve of Christ’s birth, I sit hunched over my computer, penis in hand. I had to turn the nativity scene around so that Jesus wouldn’t see your filth. Try as I might, I can never hide you well enough either. It is harder to find you squirreled away on my hard drive than it is to get into my online bank account. Yet there is always lingering evidence. I’ve told you time and again to stop leaving your things at my place. But you ALWAYS forget something: a shortcut here, an unclear history there.

There’s no acceptance when you are discovered either. It might have been ok when we started - just innocent flirting with softcore. But now my girlfriends discover my asphyxiation collection, or that one goat video. I hate that you always invite your shadiest friends over when you come.

So I have one request. I know I can’t get rid of you… you are the psychopathic stalker to my teenage horror film. But if you won’t leave me alone, can you at least do me one favor? If I ever die, can you please format my hard drive? All of them? If you can’t do that, just burn my place down. My family can never know of my shame.

- Your shamed lover

It’s funny is because its true! I bet there are very few men who read this and it didn’t ring true to some degree, at the very least they can empathise with it.

The internet was made for porn, it has revolutionised the accessibility of it. Last week on the radio psychotherapists were claiming sex addiction had increased, almost purely down to the internet.

The trend is obvious - porn is on the up, especially now the internet is evolving to be all about content, not just information. High speed connections, large downloads and video streaming are the norm.
Whatever your views or morals you can not deny that there is big money in porn. Loads love it, some hate to love it, and another bunch of people love to hate it. I have no issues with it, from a business perspective it is time to embrace porn.

You could argue the internet is already over saturated with porn, but the truth is there is always room for more! For anyone looking to get in to affiliate marketing online, adult related sites are without a doubt the easiest to promote.
Sex sells, so if you can market it there’s always an opportunity. If you have something a little different AND can market then you’ve got something special…..

…. and I might have something special.
