Why I Started this Blog – My Journey

In the Beginning

I have been keen too start my own online business since 2010. One way or another things got in the way. I have had numerous false starts. But it was a conversation with Randy Smith that finally brought it home to me. “I over analyse”.

I always want to know “How Things Work”. The problem is there is not enough time in the day to investigate everything and produce something useful. Consequently I dig and dig, one thing leads to another and and I sometimes do not know where to stop.

I am also quite a shy person, I was brought up in an education system which promoted “Be humble.Do not promote yourself, Keep your lights under the bushel, so to speak”. It may sound stupid, and on many occasions proved to be just that. I was not keen to put myself forwards, to speak publicly. I was embarrassed by the thought.

However, I was offered a job at my alma mater in Aberdeen and suddenly found myself having to teach up to 200 students at a time. That soon got me grounded, if a little late in life.

So where did Randy Smith come into the picture?

Online Success Coaching

I have been a “user”, in the best sense of the word, of John Thornhill’s courses over the years, Partnership to Success, (now retired), Ambassador program etc. In Late 2024 John and Randy announced the start of a new programme to bring his followers into the AI world. The “Online Success Coaching” programme.

The Online Success Coaching programme is designed to get over the major block that kills many would be online travellers stone dead. Creating their own product. And yes that affected me also.

The early programmes that John ran were quite involved , but with the advent of new technology the way to success has been eased.

So, I enrolled in John’s new programme and my conversation with Randy lead to the production of my first eBook, “Kickstart your Online Business”. The aim of this eBook is to give basic advice and information to others who might want to start an online journey but are unaware of how to got off the blocks.

This part of my Website/ blog is dedicated to telling the story of my journey.

I hope my story might provides some encouragement to others who are contemplating the plunge.
