How to start a business on any budget

by admin on July 24, 2010

I’ve been helping a friend with his web strategy for his business and specifically for selling his new ‘how to start a business’ e-book. I’ve read the book - all 120 pages of it and it is really, really good. When I finally decide to go out on my own it will be my handbook for sure.

Sales are going well but it’s early days yet. We’re made a punchy sales letter and now we’re trying a new pricing model inspired by the wise cicada ‘pay what you think it’s worth’ model. If you want the ‘start your own business‘ ebook you can have it for whatever price you think is fair.

Copenhagen climate summit shame

December 21, 2009

I am deeply despondent about the total and utter lack of leadership and foresight shown by the world’s so called leaders. The climate summit was a train wreck.
Obama! I had so much hope. I believed you when you said we could.
However, I am an optimist and as Greenpeace has said - their failure will [...]

The giant NZ dairy cooperative Fonterra have been exposed by a Greenpeace investigation as being responsible for destruction of rain-forests in Indonesia and Malaysia. Their intensive industrial dairy model requires NZ farmers to use supplemental feed - in this case palm kernels grown on land where up until very recently was pristine rain-forest inhabited by [...]

Green smoothies
