“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.”
Charles Mingus
Every now and then we need to take time to reassess our overall objectives and to find ways to simplify our lives. The more simple and focused your thinking on a day to day basis, the better your results are going to be. No matter how smart of capable we are, if there are too many things going on in our lives then it is hard to really work at our best. It happens to us all at some stage. Whereas you were once carefree and able to focus on your tasks without distraction, you are now bogged down with a million and one things that play on your mind each day. Paying household bills, tax, insurance, seeing family and friends, working on ten projects at once, learning new things, reading, keeping up to date with work, keeping fit, shopping etc. All of these tasks sit at the back of our minds and make it hard to concentrate and focus our attention properly. The information we have to deal with on a day to day basis is often staggering and can cause you to feel stressed and hopeless. How can we possibly get all these things done with such little time in the day?

Sometimes we can work extremely hard and not see any results while other people seem to breeze through life, not putting in much effort, but getting much better results. How can this be? One of the main reasons might be that they are simply working at the right tasks while we are working hard at things that do not have a great potential for reward.

It is easy to fall into a rut and human beings by their very nature tend to find a comfort zone and stay there as long as possible. We all do it regularly and without realizing most of the time. Sometimes it makes sense to settle into an easy pattern but after a while you are likely to get that nagging feeling where you know that there are things you could be doing better. Whether you have settled in an average job, a relationship that isn’t working or financial situation you are not happy with, you can be sure that somewhere in your life you are settling in your comfort zone and not achieving what you are fully capable of. Really successful people are not afraid to take risks and try new things even when they reach the top of their game. They know that staying in a comfort zone will harm rather than benefit them in the long run.

“I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn’t give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you.” - Harrison Ford
When faced with adversity in life most people just give up before giving themselves a proper chance to succeed. Do you ever start things and then think that you have failed at them before you really give it a chance? I certainly do and I’m sure many other people are the same. Almost everyone will be faced with this dilemma at some point and the more ambitious you are the more often you will face this problem. After months and months of hard work you hope and pray that you will soon see a huge reward for all your efforts and then nothing. Where is that big pay off you have been waiting for? Nothing happens. You’re not rich yet are you? Nothing changed. Did you make it big on your first attempt? Maybe you lost money or the outcome was not what you hoped for. This is the point at which most people start to lose motivation and either give up or find a way to keep going until they figure out exactly what is going wrong. Sadly most of us will feel so frustrated and distressed by our lack of results at this point that we will give up rather than suffer the humiliation of facing these problems again.

There are so many affiliate marketing networks out there that it can be hard to find one that suits your needs. Affiliate marketing networks act as a bridge between you and the advertiser and they provide a far more lucrative way of making money than CPC methods like Adsense etc. While the most you can hope for with Adsense is one or two dollars per click, affiliate promotions can earn you hundreds. Affiliate market networks take care of all the difficult details and allow you to easily find great products and deals to promote on your site. Ultimately you need to find an affiliate network which offers you the best products and services to suit your audience. Here are a list of some of the best affiliate marketing networks I have found so far. If you have any personal recommendations then please feel free to share them.

If you are looking to snap up a single keyword domain then you might just be able to grab one with a .me extension. Domain names are always uncertain investments but I feel differently about the .me extension. With all the .com single keywords snapped up and with the rising value of domains I think the low price of .me domains and the potential for good ROI make them really interesting investments right now. I recently bought a great a few great .me domains straight off and there are still quite a few interesting single keywords available. I actually found a few good three and four letter domains floating around unregistered which I might well snap up in the next few days. The .me domain name is a new addition to the domain world but has already proven to be really popular and many of the good single keyword .me domains were snapped up as soon as they were made available. The dot me domain name belongs to Montenegro but most of the domain names have been snapped up by English speaking US domainers. The great thing about .me domain names is that they have a terrific brand appeal and they are very memorable. This makes them ideal for businesses that want to stand out from the crowd.
