Online Marketing Is About Much More Than Making Sales and Email Marketing

My Local Beach “The Office”

I know some people who thrive in the certainty that a 9–5 job gives them. They couldn’t see themselves doing anything else. If that’s you then good for you.

Embrace what you have.

However, if you hate the thought of another 10, 20, 30 or 40 years living your life to the rhythm of the Alarm clock, travelling to an office or factory and longing for the time you can leave.

Or, and I hope this doesn’t apply to you.. giving your best years to a company and now living in fear that they may take your job away from you.

Then pay attention.

This is for you.

I was not cut out for a 9–5 job, I bailed out of my job at a bank as soon as I could and went and sold doughnuts on a nudist beach in the south of France. I was 18 at the time.

I then served in the Army for 12 years, and then I built various businesses until I got sucked into the corporate world by a mysterious set of circumstances which I still don’t fully understand.

When I could take no more I came to Spain and dedicated myself to making my online business work. I was 42, maybe I should have known better.. nah!
