So I managed a good 4 days on holiday, here at Sandals in Antigua before whipping out the Macbook Air and finding a free wifi connection. That’s a record for me being without a web connection (apart from the time I spent husky sledging in the Arctic – until they breed huskies with wifi connections getting online up there is challenging…)
I’ve caught up on emails, kept myself up to date on blogs and sent some ideas back to the team at WhiteLabelDating.com about a few projects we’re launching in the next two months.
A few people have said that I should close the laptop and relax – but if you love what you do, then work really doesn’t feel like work. I can be up in the morning as the sun rises, do a couple of hours on emails, checking our revenue stats, new member signups, etc and then be down for breakfast at 9am, ready to start the day.
I’m reading Gary Vaynerchuk‘s latest book Crush It! on my Amazon Kindle (thanks Santa!) at the moment, it’s a great read – and if you don’t get up excited about your work, then read it. Gary takes you through his journey where he turned his passion into his work – and how anyone can do it.
I’m lucky enough to be already working in an area I’m passionate about – the web is an incredible business medium and online dating gives us the opportunity to try new and exciting ideas in an industry which is fortunate enough to make good money.
One of the things that attract our partners to running dating sites with us is that they can give up the 9 to 5 and work how they want, where they want – well, anywhere with an internet connection anyway!!
Dozens of our partners have given up their 9 to 5 jobs and now make their living from running dating sites on the WLD platform. If you’re not doing so already, you can create a site for free and have a play around at http://www.whitelabeldating.com – or check out the case studies page to see how other people have done it.
