Money Gym Interviews | Martin Avis

As we prepare for the Money Gym “Really Useful Internet Day”, here’s another in the series of interviews with Internet succeess stories – real people making real money (and big but not ridiculous money too!) online.

I’m delighted to introduce Martin Avis, who is one of our speakers on the day, and my first choice too!  I came across Martin several times before I got to know him, but as you will hear, he’s so unassuming it’s easy to miss him AT FIRST if there are louder people around!  But sooner or later, Martin comes into your radar as a real live bone fide success online.  He’s helpful to newbies, generous with his time and I like him a lot.  His “London Lunches” are great fun and you never know who you are going to meet there.

You can see/hear the rest of Martin’s interview – where he reveals the three biggest mistakes that aspiring internet marketers make, when trying to make money online – when you book your place on The Money Gym “Really Useful Internet Day” at http://www.TheMoneyGym.com/internetday

New Year – Brilliant Thoughts

I love New Year and New Year Resolutions.  September is also good for new starts, but New Year is the best.  Not only do you have spring to look forward to, but there is a whole week between Christmas and New Year (if you are lucky enough not to work for anyone else) to get bored, think about stuff and make lists.

I subscribe to a lot of ezines and the “New Year, New Start” themes are beginning to emerge.  I thought I would share the best of them with you, this year.

First up, the ever erudite Martin Avis from Kickstart Daily.  Follow Martin on Twitter at “martinavis”

“All in all, I’m very pleased with my own progress in 2008 and although I haven’t ticked every box as I’d have hoped, I knowthat I took action and moved myself forward in many ways.

And that’s the way I’d urge you to see things: lack of successisn’t failure provided that you have moved on from where youwere. Lack of success is just a resting point on the journey. Solong as you continue to travel, and know in your heart that youare progressing, your resolutions are still in the process ofcoming true.

Failure is when you have allowed the hope of achieving your dream to die”
